Inspired by this, I asked DALL-E 2 for an early 2000s magazine photo of John Mastodon, founder of the Mastodon social network.

“You can’t get a ___________ home on a bike!” (or on foot)

Actually, maybe you can, maybe you can’t (I took this pic in Copenhagen many years ago).

And you don’t buy things like big screen TVs very often, these days most stores deliver, and we have car-share and taxis when we need them.

I said it was a dumb idea, but I did it anyway. Ultimate Doom running on the 5x86 and StrongARM CPUs in my Acorn RiscPC simultaneously 😁

I haven't seen a paper that mixes a task-driven neural network (a la DiCarlo) with anatomical connectome detail, save for the work from Bryan Tripp. It seems like it's an obvious research direction and an important step towards virtual brains. Anybody know of any good work in this direction? CC @neuralreckoning @ShahabBakht

1) Create a limited number of NFTs.
2) Offer half of them to rubes at $99 a pop. Sell out to create artificial scarcity.
3) Float a small number of the remaining half on an exchange for absurdly high prices, say, $10,000. The punters won’t bite but you can buy them from yourself to support the value.
4) Value your remaining holdings at $10K each instead of $99 each. Presto, you’ve invented tens of millions of dollars.
Now anybody who wants to give you money can buy your NFTs, clean.
