Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Same, it would be great to have a trove of podcasts saved on my media server but the medium is very geared towards passively receiving episodes, listening once at most, and deleting.

Spot is small though, scaling up to rideable size won’t be cheap.

One site gave an estimate of £3k/yr in annual upkeep to keep one in basic grass livery. A horse costs about £3-4k as well. A lifetime of, let’s say 25 years? That’s a total lifetime spend of £78k.

Let’s also remember that we’re talking this seriously about an AI generated video of a concept vehicle. No robot horse exists and none will in the near future.

But, it’s boring to just say “thing no happen”, so in the interest of conversation, what do you speculate the robot horse would cost, if they eventually managed to make a production model? Do you think it’d last as long as a real horse?

It eats grass and uh

I think it craps there too

All of this faff, expense, and heartache and you’d still have something less effective, less green, less yours, and more expensive than an actual horse.

And seed the hell out of it! 🦜

Regrettable

I don’t know the context but: Could have been “uigi” but could have also been “ynch”.

You know who didn’t use violent rhetoric? The scorpion, from the parable of the scorpion and the frog. Truly a paragon of common decency.

I see people who are showing concern borne of experience, and with marked consensus. If you’re confident they’re wrong about your situation, it still may be worth reflecting on what they’ve learned and to limit your ambitions - or at least, consider building things on a more conservative timeline than you were imagining. Have big dreams, but start with biting off an amount you can certainly chew.

I’m not sure how to interpret your counterpoint. Can you clarify? It’s an unprofitable business model unless people pay and don’t use it?

The people are titans, in the oldest sense of the word. Straining ones. Some knuckled under for the new order, but theirs is a dysfunctional status quo, and Prometheus plays a mean long game.

Called it, huge omissions likely remain

The Iron Giant, Wall-E, Her, Blade Runner, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Metropolis (2001), Astro Boy. Probably forgetting some really good examples though

I liked it, but I’m a sucker for “robot wanna be a real boy” type stories

I see you around a lot, and you’re consistently doing exactly this. I really respect that.
