You’re not being creative enough ;-) All Fed vehicle fleets will have to be Tesla within a short timeframe. And regulations limiting the rollout of self-driving vehicles in any way will be gutted. Also massive tariffs will apply to all imported EVs. Rural broadband contracts will all go to Starlink. Truth Social may or may not get merged with X, but regulations and regulators in that space will be gutted. All Fed infrastructure projects will all of a sudden require the Boring Company for some reason. A.I. regulations will always come out in Elon’s favour. FDA will be gutted and Neuralink will get fast tracked. NASA will be severely neutered and SpaceX will step in to fill the void where ever possible. NASA will be gradually reduced to a consultation / supporting role until it’s no longer required. Missions will stear away from pure research and towards those with a clear profit motive like mining, space tourism and comms. Fun times ahead!

It would be irrelivant. Trump will change anything and everything to suit his needs. You can change whatever you want and he’ll just change it back on day one. You know, that one day he made very clear that he was going to be a dictator. That’s the one day set aside to change every single thing he needs to. After that, nothing else matters.

LOL WHAT!?? This is ALL about getting away with everything! Pardoning everything they ever tried to pin on Trump and pardoning everyone who stood buy him through it all and taking trillions from Americans and giving it to Trump, Thiel, Elon etc. No way is Trump going to be out of pocket for anything ever again. Do they think checks and balances matter when you own the Presidency, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court? Trump is only interested in cheques and balance books now!

Yeah, I’m no expert but won’t Trumps tariffs on everything under the sun be much much worse than the inflation?? Manufacturing won’t come back to the USA, it’ll just shuffle around any of dozens of countries that will still be cheaper to operate out of. Also, retalitory tariffs are a thing which will harm what manufacturing IS in the USA. Also, Trump promised his rich buddies 3 trillion dollars in tax breaks. He’s going to slash health budgets (and more besides) to fund it. What are people thinking!? They’re going to fund the ultra rich from their own pockets AND pay massively more for goods while damaging local industry?! I mean there’s a million other things to worry about including mass-deportation but cost of living is about to increase BIGLY!?

I’ve always found this subject fascinating. Why are we all so different in this regards? What’s going or not going on up there? Anyway, this is my result…

Tap for spoiler

I imagined a bright red ball, like a shiny red plasticy looking ball

The “person” pushing the ball was just a disembodied arm, the ball rolled and bounced around the pool table much as a pool ball would

The arm was pretty much my arm. I didn’t bother to visualise the person, instead concentrating on the interaction with the ball.

The ball was larger than a pool ball, maybe softball sized or even slightly bigger

The table was basically a pool table, green felt, but smaller or maybe the ball was just much bigger

All this I knew from my visualisation but when answering the questions I probably solidified my thoughts a bit. When viewing things they are constantly changing or shifting to match new information/ideas/concepts of what’s there. I don’t really see the whole scene at once easily, instead focusing in on different aspects of it. For example if I’m concentrating on the red, shiny ball then the table is just a green plane/background.

Wow, that’s a bummer :-/ For me it’s 15-20 min by car assuming a few minutes walk to where I’ve parked. 25 min by bike (20 min by road but I take a safer ‘scenic route’) and about 40 min by bus and about 10 minutes of that is walking to/from the bus stop. And the bus fare gets capped at 8 trips per week so every trip thereafter is free meaning if you commute to work every day, Friday and all weekend will be unlimited free trips.

One of my carless kin! There are dozens of us!! The number of times people have assumed I can’t go somewhere “because it’s raining” and I’m just like, I have a jacket and an umbrella! But what if you’re biking?? Um, I have a jacket, a backpack cover and leggings and sometimes… if I’m just heading home to a hot shower and a change of clothes, I just get soaking wet! Like absolutely sodden! NBD! And if I’m heading somewhere without the option of a change of clothes, I bus there and that leads to a whole other issue of “But that must take ssooo long!?!” Yeah sure, a bit longer, but I can relax, pop on some headphones, set google maps to tell me when I’m near my stop, watch/listen to something and let the driver worry about the driving!

So because you will be able to generate game assests easily without weeks of modelling and texturing etc games will be waaaay cheaper to buy right?… Right?…

I know you just threw this together as a demo but what I found really trippy was when I threw a short story I’ve written into it and generated a podcast from it. It’s super weird hearing a podcast based on something you’ve written that never in a million years would you hear such a discussion of :-D I don’t know how useful it is but I think it’s pretty cool.
