Fortunately not everyone on the planet sleeps at the same time

Not sure what the "this" is that you think zoning didn't "solve" exactly. Where I live (Melbourne, Australia), I think zoning does work pretty effectively. Industry builds in industrial zones, houses and apartments get built in residential zones. Fortunately (I think) the government is generally on the side of increasing the density and changing the rules to make it possible, so we don't have a San Francisco type situation where no one can build anything because the residental lobbies are so powerful.

The pain points for us are to do with attempting to increase the density of the city, which means building apartment buildings where there used to be just single story houses with backyards - something those residents don't like. Or the complexities of big projects like new train lines, that impact an awful lot of stuff around them.

But in general, a lot of stuff is getting built, it's just expensive.

The strangest thing axout your post is the lack of curiosity about whether or not bread is, in fact, bad for ducks.

Why would I, I wasn't feeding them. Besides it's illegal to chum on trout lakes.

Because surely it changes how you feel if the bread was disabling ducks, rather than just innocently feeding them with no downsides.

It probably also is. But easier to enforce at the time of capture.

Or easier to forbid Meta classes to send all the data into their servers.

Making them completely non functional? Even in private homes?

We can hope

Not necessarily in real time though

I have a friend who has worked in aerodynamics at several of the F1 teams. The parts themselves are pretty high tech, but all of the management of the data, the processes, the software to produce them etc is pretty shoddy.

On mobile it doesn't seem to be possible to decrease power?

It's possible but it took me a while to find the butten as well. It's to the left of the "increase power" button, with quite a low opacity.

I think it might be better to use the empty areas in the corners for the controls.

I get that there are people who are into this stuff, but honestly, I can't think of a single use for myself, unless the movie watching experience is really, really good.

I'm never going to wear a thing like this in public, and at home, I have my laptop and TV. The TV I'm usually watching with someone else, and this is worse than the laptop...so what's my use case?

IMHO it should be long hold. Click to jump by a page towards the click location. Hold down to jump all the way there.

"Long press" is the same as "slow press". When I click I want something to happen immediately, not 500ms later.

Yep, something happens immediately. Something different happens later.

How does this work? I couldn't find an about page?

As avaer already mentioned it seems to be a thin wrapper around H3 Max Director, which generates real-time video and takes “natural language directions” that are then relatively seamlessly incorporated into the continuous video stream.

It's like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure dialed up to 11.

I played around with it briefly on Fal.ai generating a cartoon, but it’s more of a technical curiosity for the time being since I don’t have a Scrooge McDuck vault of gold coins.

The models used are mentioned on the page; primarily it's H3 Max Director, Jev, and an agent to manage context and send updates to Director.

Yes, I don't want to know what the tools are. What...is it? What's the goal? How is one meant to interact with it?

It's not on the page, but the creator (@WillTheRapper_) said on Twitter:

> This is our first experiment in building a persistent Social World Engine — a world that continues to exist, evolve, and remember even when nobody is watching.

The audience is meant to direct the show. There's a crypto token involved in paying for it. Make of that what you will.

Personally I think it's an invitation to a lawsuit. Back in the day people were running AI Spongebob on Twitch and that got killed for copyright infringement. And this isn't a cartoon, it's Jim Carrey.

FWIW it doesn't look anything like Jim Carrey at the moment.

It is vibecoded slop, not sure why people are taking this seriously here

Some people are looking at what it is, rather than how it was made.
