What’s up today? (Part 2)

It’s funny that folks feel the need to pretend to know something they don’t.

Why not just say AI said this… blah.

Tbh, if I’m not speaking my own words, I’d be worried about what else was in the copy/paste that I didn’t agree with too.

I guess people like to appear smarter than they are.

I normally do the opposite, I loudly profess my ignorance in all things everything, makes life much easier.

I do think 99% of people don’t read AI paste though and it boils down to anyone of us can instantly get the same.

Unlike a article or a post or a meme which is almost on par but perhaps slightly more shareworthy as those are things that might be missed and are not as easily found.

My take anyway.

Subtle difference in scarcity.

I have only ever used AI in response to any online convos but twice, ever. Both times were on this forum. In both cases, I announced my usage of it. The first, was in an attempt to get people who actually know what they are talking about to discuss a DNS system (justified). The second, was to speculate—in jest—as to the success of various crypto tokens during the next altcoin season (probably not the greatest of ideas). I have nothing but respect for the elders here, but I believe we are going to have a huge problem if the community at large is hostile to crypto and AI. Don’t get your panties in a twist. We’re all on the same team.

Just to add my perspective. I’m not anti-AI, I use AI in the course of dev. Never to write code, but to discover API and such. I do however disregard AI used in discussion. I want to know what others have to say, even (especially?) non-technical people, not what the AI response was to what they typed into a prompt.

Not sure how this is even questionable among people this intelligent. Let’s take a look at just one real world example:

Man on the street asks AI: “Can you tell me how roadstershop was able to build a 1,600 hp Buick Grand National?”

X Says: The Roadster Shop’s 1,600 hp Buick Grand National is a heavily modified custom build that transforms the iconic 1980s muscle car into a high-performance beast while retaining its classic aesthetic. Below is an overview of how they achieved this, based on available information:

Key Modifications

  1. Engine Upgrade:
  • The original Buick Grand National’s turbocharged 3.8L V6 was replaced with a 7.0L (427 ci) LS7-based small-block V8, a naturally aspirated engine modified for extreme power.

  • Twin-turbochargers were added to the LS7, significantly boosting output. The turbo setup, combined with advanced engine management, allows the engine to produce approximately 1,600 horsepower.

  • The engine was built with high-performance components, likely including forged internals, upgraded fuel injection, and a robust cooling system to handle the immense power and heat generated by the twin-turbo setup.

  1. Custom Chassis:
  • The Roadster Shop replaced the factory chassis with a custom-built chassis designed for superior rigidity and handling, capable of supporting the extreme power output.

  • The chassis incorporates modern suspension components, including adjustable coilovers and upgraded control arms, to improve cornering and stability at high speeds.

  1. Drivetrain and Transmission:
  • A heavy-duty transmission, likely a strengthened automatic (e.g., a 4L80E or similar), was installed to handle the 1,600 hp and deliver power to the rear wheels.

  • The rear axle was upgraded with a reinforced differential and axles to withstand the torque and prevent breakage under extreme loads.

  1. Braking and Tires:
  • To manage the car’s immense power, the Roadster Shop installed high-performance brakes, likely large-diameter rotors with multi-piston calipers, for superior stopping power.

  • The car rides on custom wheels wrapped in high-performance tires, providing the grip needed for acceleration and cornering with 1,600 hp.

  1. Body and Aesthetics:
  • The exterior retains the Grand National’s iconic look, with subtle modifications to maintain its classic character. This includes the black paint, chrome trim, and signature styling cues.

  • Aerodynamic enhancements, such as a refined front fascia or subtle spoilers, may have been added to improve stability at high speeds.

  1. Advanced Technology:
  • The build incorporates modern electronics, including a sophisticated engine control unit (ECU) to manage the twin-turbo system, fuel delivery, and ignition timing.

  • Additional tech, such as upgraded gauges or a digital dash, was likely added to monitor the car’s performance in real time.

Build Process

  • Engineering and Fabrication: The Roadster Shop, known for its expertise in custom chassis and high-performance builds, designed and fabricated the chassis and integrated the twin-turbo LS7. Their in-house team handled precision engineering to ensure all components worked harmoniously.

  • Testing and Tuning: After assembly, the car underwent extensive testing, including dyno tuning to optimize the engine’s performance and street testing to verify handling and reliability. Videos show the car hitting the streets with the owner, indicating real-world validation of the build.

  • Collaboration: The project likely involved collaboration with specialists in turbocharging, engine building, and tuning to achieve the 1,600 hp target while ensuring drivability.

Challenges and Considerations

  • Heat Management: Twin-turbo setups generate significant heat, requiring advanced intercoolers, oil coolers, and ventilation.

  • Weight Distribution: The LS7 and turbo system are heavier than the original V6, so the chassis and suspension were designed to maintain balance.

  • Preserving Character: The Roadster Shop prioritized keeping the Grand National’s iconic look, which meant subtle modifications rather than aggressive body kits.

Didn’t even read any of that because I could tell by its shape it’s AI output.

Yeah, but you’re probably also not a gearhead. Imagine a young kid who is obsessed with anything mechanical being able to have an AI tell tell them everything they did to this vehicle and then watching the end result. I just don’t understand anybody with an axe to grind with AI. Any male who does not want the final product needs to self-deport to South Africa.

Well, that’s the top 12 finalised.

There are 12 fantastic use cases for Autonomi that we’ll hopefully soon see some kind of proof-of-concept for.

I can see the serious value Autonomi can add to each of these use cases, and this is just the start.

Fantastic to see real development kicking off for this potentially game-changing network.

Well done everyone involved, and bring on the apps :slight_smile:

Access to knowledge isn’t education:

It’s hard work and a supportive environment that helps develop skills and understanding.

Access to knowledge is a small part of that and we have better sources than faulty LLMs which are centralised and controlled by people we are here to disempower, because we know they do harm to the collective.

You have a huge set of balls on you talking to people like me like that, as if somehow I need to be educated, throwing me this horsecock about a supportive environment when all you do is come here and look for every opportunity to gaslight longtime supporters and vent about your personal grievances. I have grandchildren that would never have to work again if I didn’t come here and dedicate resources to your pathetic ass and your endless R&D projects. You are the last person in the world who gets to talk to me about knowledge. GTFOH.

truly sorry for your grand children’s loss best bet is to take your resources away from this pathetic R&D project.

perhaps some AI will tell you where the best place to shove those resources is.

The context provided does not mention any specific issues or reasons for Feinberg being upset in the Autonomi forum in 2025. The updates from January, February, and May 2025 primarily discuss project developments, community engagement, and technical updates, but do not reference any dissatisfaction or issues raised by Feinberg. If there are more specific details or updates that you are aware of, please provide additional context.

he loves it

It seems like you’re suggesting that Feinberg’s love for AI might be relevant to understanding his behavior or feelings in the Autonomi forum. However, without more specific information, it’s hard to determine why he might be upset. If Feinberg is generally enthusiastic about AI, his frustration could be related to a particular issue or discussion within the forum. Here are a few possible reasons:

  1. Technical Disagreements : He might be upset about a technical debate or a disagreement over the direction of a project.
  2. Community Dynamics : There could be tension within the community, perhaps due to differing opinions or behaviors.
  3. Feature Requests : He might be frustrated that certain AI features or improvements are not being implemented as quickly as he would like.
  4. Ethical Concerns : If there are ethical discussions or debates, he might be upset about how certain issues are being handled.

If you have more specific details, such as recent posts or discussions, that could help provide a clearer picture of what is happening.
