Did anyone see this show, Continuum? I often think about it these days, might re-watch at some point.
Though I remember being really disappointed in the final couple episodes, there was much that was pointing to where are going, faster than I ever thought possible.
I don’t remember it all, but do recall the massive power that the heads of huge corporations held, and how people ‘knew’ them in the way we ‘know’ Elon, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Fink, Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Pavel Dhurov, Gates etc today.. really weird https://i.nostr.build/Pgx9rNKuoCqg0RQ1.jpg
Was this a spin off or something of Battlestar galactica ? Or something else. I recall skipping it entirely
Caprica was the BSG spinoff 😀
i don't remember watching Continuum beyond the first one or two episodes. Didn't like the terrorism plot, and was a bit generic for sci-fi. But yeah that's about the course for the kind of shitty future we're likely heading for.
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
I've seen this. Spoiler alert:
The microchip Industrie there was very evil and chipped everyone for their depts and slave them to work there
