    If it's entirely my call, I would have to go with Marvel's own Jeff the Land Shark. He gets into all sorts of fun and adventures that are appropriate for all ages, and he's headlining the last reason to stick around with Marvel's Infinity Comics line. Way better than that Baby Shark, imo.

    After giving it a think, with just local access you could use Termux and run a server on it or get into Home Assistant or Android dev, stream to it from a Plex/Jellyfin Server or Steam Link/Moonlight for games, maybe make it into an iPod with some local music or videos, or a “productive” device that is for work/writing/a specific task that you want your own device with no other junk in the way. Or go completely in the other direction, and make it an Emulation device, with Retroarch, Gamenative, what have you.

    Had an idea for a setting for a magical mall, where all of the merchandise lives up to the advertised abilities. Blenders would blend anything, snake oil will cure your ailments and toy laser beams can put a hole in the wall. Everything would mostly be manufactured the same way, but in theory, as long as it came from within the mall, someone could take a cardboard box, take it into an arts and craft shop, then make whatever they wanted.

    Comics lovers, you are eating well tonight between Volume 1 of the Unbelievable Gwenpool, and the Fandom Press Bingepass which gives the full runs of ten of their titles under one borrow.

    The catalog was unveiled a day ago, but Bonus Borrows weren't properly applied, so they spent a token. That is fixed now.

    Station Notes:

    There is an Official Babylon 5 channel that may be posting their own full episodes soon. If it starts from the beginning again and/or Clipzone stops I'll keep posting rewatch threads and bump the old threads the new links, maybe stagger them until the official channel catches up.

    Verizon may allow you to use it as an exchange or for trade in credit for the future. If one of their stores is around, they may be able to help you out? Worst case, you can keep it as a spare, or Verizon does have a deal with Motorola, so they may carry a Graphene phone in the future you can trade up into.

    Also, be careful about changing your plan with Verizon as well. I started on the 5G Welcome plan and moved onto the Unlimited Welcome plan to save money, but I couldn't get the credits for the phone back, so it was a bit of a wash.

  19. Comment on Nvidia CEO declares AI could start, grow, and run a successful technology company worth more than a billion dollars—excerpt from Lex Fridman Podcast in ~tech

    "We" is ambiguous, so I'm assuming humanity?

    Lex Fridman
    So let’s, let me ask you about possible timelines here. Let’s, this ridiculous definition perhaps of what AGI is, but an AI system that’s able to essentially do your job. So, run, no, start, grow, and run a successful technology company that’s worth-
    Jensen Huang
    (01:55:52) A good one or a one?
    Lex Fridman
    (01:55:54) No. It has to be worth more than a billion, more than a billion dollars. So, you know, you know how hard it is to do all those components. So, how far are we away from that? So, we’re talking about Open-Claude that does all the incredibly complex stuff that are required to, first of all, innovate, to find customers, to sell to them, to manage, to build a team of some agents, some humans, all that kind of stuff. Is this five, 10, 15, 20 years away?
    Jensen Huang
    (01:56:31) I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.

    Huang is the president and CEO of Nvidia, and if the headline is "this person said this thing," then he's a pretty credible source for it. His company invests and sells a whole lot of hardware to software companies, so he could very well know what he's talking about, but I guess it would be like an asphalt company talking about road planning. Knowledgeable in some areas and not in others.

    Edit: But he's also a salesman, so it would be reasonable to take claims with a grain of salt.
