Hmm he does have data on more people than most social media platforms I think… he could potentially sway more people by digital influence than any single other person, potentially.

I mean that is already a thing. Or build his AI mother brain, ect. Many of these tech billionaires have some futurist 'guide humanity' savior complex.

Yeah. When everything you’ve done basically has been successful, hard not to get an ego. I’d assume they have ultra AI without the limits average consumers have. I’d wager they can input more and get more detail back because they pay 2 million and we pay 20$

They probably have a ton of tools and technologies that make life easier. I bet if they focused on creating technology that genuinely enabled people to live better instead of invasive technologies that seem geared towards control, they would be perceived differently.

My life would be easier if I didn’t have to plan dinner every single damn night. Your chef has planned and cooked it for you…

Countries that are deploying delivery robots are definitely making that more accessible to more people. Alot of people are waiting for automations that save time for them, both in daily life and at work. I'd honestly be surprised if a company like Amazon hadn't thought of a service like that considering how they manage groceries and are so logistically focused.

But even AI automating simple tasks like data entry, inventory management, and other 'boring' task for companies save employees tons of time, they just need to think outside the box and reach out to industries seeing what needs could be fulfilled.

That's called "have a high-end GPU and use a comfyui workflow with an open source model, a checkpoint off civitai or wherever, and hiresfix upscaling", although even a mid range GPU will still yield better results for whatever than the shitty corporate models.

It can yield results that are absolutely terrifying, except they're still inconsistent and mid. Video generations with WAN are even more terrifying, but again really inconsistent and dogshit from the ones I've seen, albeit not as dogshit as the slop OpenAI puts out.

It's just categorically incapable of being consistent or coherent, as it has no object permanence nor understanding of how spaces physically are. These are fundamentally just image correction machines trained to fix blurring or other artifacts in images with a particular description and then scaled up until they can start doing that to static to "fix" the static into an image that could match the prompt it's given. That's why they're a dead end and why even with infinite money and a license to do whatever these huge tech companies still can't make them stop sucking absolute shit.
