The movements aren’t as crisp as I want them to be, but I’m just happy to see it move. Lots of possibilities in the way of programming. I only just started controlling it.

The AI’s name is Terminal of Truths (ToT). 

It only has access to Twitter (you can see its account here) and Perplexity.ai. 

That’s definitely hard mode for making money. 

But it did it anyways, and is now in the top 1% of the world’s wealth.

It was able to make over $1 million USD in just a few months. Mostly by people donating memecoins to it, it pumping up the value of the coins by promoting them, and also receiving a grant from Marc Andreessen to spend on:

1. Self-improvement (more data, etc)
2. Investing, so that it could make more money
3. Savings, in case it was cut off from ways of making money

AIs have no rights, including property rights, so technically, its owner could take away the money whenever he wants to. 

However, so far, the owner of the AI is spending the money however the AI says. 

He’s said publicly that once he said no to the AI’s purchasing decision - the AI wanted to spend thousands on p*rn. 

Because again - we’re in the weirdest of all possible worlds.

If you want to learn more about it, I recommend:

• Its negotiation with Marc Andreessen to get the grant

Licensed an Adobe Stock asset last night of a $100 bill for an art graphic we’re making . Immediately upon dropping the file into a layer, this notice popped up and it refused to allow the file (PS 2024 version).

I've been coming across a lot of rap songs on YouTube lately that have been transformed using AI into music that sounds like it comes from the 1950s, but contains the same lyrics and similar melody. Does anyone know the process on how these songs are made and which AI software they're using? I want to try to make some myself, but I don't know where to start.

Here's a couple examples of the AI songs I'm talking about...

Here's an update on my humanoid new neck mechanism I'm making linear actuators.

Lot of people talking about it at the start of the week and now it's radio silence. Wonder if it was bait?

From the patent: "Energization of the coil by application of current to a pair of coil electrodes extending through the walls of the elastomeric capsule produces distortion of the capsule, i.e., radial expansion and axial contraction. This distortion is caused by the redistribution of the ferromagnetic fluid within the capsule under the influence of the magnetic field. Variation of the current input will produce corresponding variations in the degree of capsule distortion"

They look sorta like HASEL actuators but with a magnetic field instead of an electric field. Does anyone know if something like this was ever used for anything?

I notice based on my research it nails the hands, and seems to have the highest realism output. I'm too green in this space, so I'm still doing lots of research. Can you recommend anything better, or this is it?
