“I don’t think there’s anything in principle, that stops machines from being conscious. […] I don’t see why they shouldn’t have emotions. […]
I think they really are thinking. And I think as soon as you make AI agents, they will have concerns.”
A wild interview with Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize winner and “the Godfather of AI”, especially towards the end…
A gate can be really useful for live sound (e.g. when you’re doing a live stream) to cut out unwanted background noise or hum with low latency when you're not speaking.

My Mac ran out of disk space (1 TB). Which felt … a bit weird and unexpected. So I opened up GrandPerspective to have a look…
Oh wait, what’s that?
/Users/matthiasott/Library/Caches/Adobe/AfterEffects is taking up how much space?
317G?!? 😅
That’s a lot of cache!
I adorned my 'GNARLYBOT' sculpture for Gromit Unleashed 3 with a whole host of graphics paying homage to some of the great skateboarding graphics of the 70's & 80's! See if you can get all the references...

BroBot! My latest design and 3D print - man I love this thing! It’s making me up my Blender modelling skills too, making sure it’s nice and neat!
