Depending on how briefly they can be triggered i wonder if it could be fired in a controlled enough temporal pattern to create recognizable notes. Human hearing goes down to 40 cycles per second, so if it can fire in burst of less than a 40th of a second then that could work

"We've created a real life version of the torment nexus from the famous book Never Create The Torment Nexus"

The word "notebooks" in your comment makes your point really unclear in this context. I think you might be referring to portable computers but the way it reads sounds like your referring to actual paper books

We do know about it. Most of the big name ai services are all public about working for government enforcement agencies. Palantir, Flock, Boston Dynamics, Tesla xAI, etc

Absolutely false. Not even remotely true.

Are these available in the US?

To me it's obviously screaming colorized.

The colors are way too uniform. All the blue scarves are exactly the same blue, all the skin tones are exactly the same, all the individual buildings have a color that's exactly uniform from corner to corner, etc.

And things like the ice are completely missing any color at all (except for maybe an overall blueish tint they added to the dark areas) but in real life everything has color. Objects that you might think are just monochrome black-gray-white actually have a lot of different colors in them. So when a section of a picture looks like a black n white photo instead of a color photo it immediately pops out to me.

Plus, the colors of all the different objects disagree on the type of light hitting them. Like for the black ice to have a significant blueish tint means the lighting of that day wouldn't create a pinkish skin tone.

And there's no atmospheric effects in the distance of colors. Like the column closest to the camera is the same color as the most distant column, but in reality colors fade as they go further into the distance even at the scale in this photo.

This concludes my procrastination ted talk.

With hardware prices being sky high, using hardware more efficiently is really helpful

I don't see a distinction between what you said vs a job. Like "I was a sailor with the Navy."

Colorized, presumably.

Is there a reference I'm missing?
