@pluralistic Good point. And it’s not a ‘only in Hollywood’ career. Local tv companies’ news crews, local ad firms, etc. hit this wall: A friend’s career has largely been for local tv / radio / streaming ads, working out of his home. He shoots in 4k, shares with remote clients, digitally crops, etc.

One never quite knows who’ll find a use case. #longtail #goviral #KillerApp

1337 $#!+ I did that Mar 17

I've been saying it for a minute, yelled at some on #mastodon. Same for #waymo, it is safer, the cars just drive better. It is not all the #AI, some of it is lidar and networks that allow the AI to see many blocks/many miles ahead.

This is the first industrial #killerapp of the #AI era, but more are coming for manufacturing jobs. And yes, if you are any kind of spreadsheet jockey like a medical coder, or a monkey developer (you convert a spec to a language) do worry!

Driverless Big Rigs Are Coming to American Highways, and Soon

There are active test runs in Texas, and a handful of companies are banking on making a big entry into the market as early as next year.

Ironic that the "killer app" to get us all live-streaming our creative endeavours was Covid-19.

I wonder what it will take to get #rakulang in the top 50 of the Tiobe index. Any thoughts?

For those that say, "a killer app" -- since I know that response is coming -- what is Raku's most likely class of killer app?

Also, congrats to the #ziglang crowd for making it into the 30's. You've earned it! I'm still of the opinion Raku can learn from Zig at the community level.
