 Why watch fiction when you can go outside or online 
 hahah exactly ! especially with the cyberpunk-ish stuff, "we're already pretty much there, you can make your own story" ☺️ 

well i like fiction sometimes but usually when it's kind of weird or mysterious

for example a recent (short) series i really liked is the Korean series Grid

 Are you working or playing with ai 
 not at the moment !

i played around with some of the python code and models, back with Stable Diffusion 1, i wanted to know how the image generation stuff works it's kind of intriguing how it learns to map concepts to a N-dimensional embedding space
and you can interpolate in this space, too, to get sometimes interesting effects
(same for text generation)

but practically, i don't think current AI is actually that useful yet for anything i do, code generated using AI tends to suck
it's more like computational hallucination lol
