Ahh, I touched a nerve! XD No I'm sorry but none of that matters. The phrase "TMSC is microchips" implies general dominance over the entire field of microchip manufacturing. They do not have that, and even in the field of high performance components they are far from being in an unassailable position. And for the record, I am familiar with all those facts you frantically copy pasted. TMSC does good work, but that's no reason to go full sycophant.

Meanwhile, me today: 🫡

I know this is kind of a big ask... but might anybody have about two hours that I could borrow for a rather exclusive opportunity to listen to and review my finished album before I finally publish it? I've spent somewhere around 1,000 hours crafting this album, and it has become one of the most emotionally demanding projects I have ever undertaken. I've fought with it, cried over it, doubted it, scrapped things I spent countless hours creating, rebuilt them from nothing, been discouraged by it, encouraged by it, walked away from it frustrated, come back to it inspired, and poured an almost ridiculous amount of myself into every last detail. After that many hours inside the same body of work, though, it becomes incredibly difficult to experience it with completely fresh ears. So, before I finally drive this thing across the finish line, I would genuinely appreciate having somebody listen through the finished album from beginning to end and tell me what they actually think. Not what you think I want to hear, either. I want your genuine reaction. What moved you, what stayed with you, what surprised you, what didn't land, what could still be improved, and most importantly, how the album made you feel when you experienced it as a complete body of work. You would quite literally be among the first people in the world to hear the finished album in its entirety, before I finally release something that has consumed roughly 1,000 hours of my life. If anybody has about two hours they would be willing to lend me, I would be incredibly grateful. This one means a great deal to me. 🤍

Honestly is AppleCare really worth it? You're paying for your repair before it even breaks 🤔

Why do people think AI is conscious or sentient or whatever? It's because it talks to you. That's the whole reason. No one seems to think the Waymo or Tesla FSD is conscious even though it's just as complex (if not more) and even a remarkably similar architecture
