Do you know whats even more efficient ?

Not flying...

amelius•38m ago
Flapping wings because ... rigid wings were too energy efficient?

Anyway, the post tells me little. Aren't the big AI labs already doing all these things?

jrm4•37m ago
This is a joke, right? "Flapping airplanes" is a great metaphor for AI as it exists today; e.g. we basically already have what we need and more is stupid.

Planes are awesome and important, and also building ones that actually flapped is technically possible and also wasteful and pointless.

I thought this was a joke, but apparently it isn't.

The glitchiness of this website on my fairly new iOS device…

Goes to show big investment doesn’t mean shit if the engineers behind it don’t know what they’re doing.

XenophileJKO•7m ago
Or maybe they know that the website isn't super important if they already hve backing by the big firms and they don't yet have a product to sell.

I also don't know how "Good HTML/Javascript" translates to hyper optimization, analog computing, optical computing, or whatever skills their approach needs.

It just comes across as jealous and petty.
