Helping to prevent a possible skynet scenario probably makes those checks easier to write.

There's a lot more than money at stake.

It's not just you. Was a waste of time.

If he was wearing colored gloves for hand pose detection, these videos would be suitable for a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model training set. The robotic companies are making and labeling many such videos.

I've recently been misled by ChatGPT a lot as well. I think it's the router. I'm on the free plan so I assume they're just being tight with the GPU cycles.

Davinci Resolve is free and is so much better. There's no reason to use old trash.

How flexible is the syntax? Can I write whatever and have a chance it parses correctly?

True. It's a misleading headline.
Did George RR Martin write it?
Sounds like the answer is FUD.

Alexa can do calls. We usually only use that to find a lost phone.
Re:AI at Amazon: A case study of brittleness on Wednesday June 11, 2025 @01:53PM (#44250089)
We easily use Alexa 20x a day at my house. Announcements, kitchen timers, lights & music. Even checking store hours or weather.

Replaces a phone in many cases.

There used to be second or two between finishing a command and it getting executed. We easily use Alexa 20x a day at my house. Announcements, kitchen timers, lights & music.

I think the voice recognition is async now. It's streaming the data to a model. Before it would wait until the command was finished then send the .wav file off to a model.

It is. It will make up a story if you ask it to. Answers questions with it's own knowledge now instead of using the amazon answers site.

The new Alexa+ is super great, if you've been invited to it.

The voice recognition is at a whole nother level, much much faster. Controlling lights is easily an entire second faster.

The TTS upgrade is a trip. She sounds younger and speaks faster.

Of course it was relevant. If they had a better game engine it would have been further along.
