The way I understand it:

Connectome: Displays the synapses between individual neurons

Projectome: The links between regions of the brain via neurons that synapse across regions (basically a subset of the connectome)

So if the connectome is a map of every road, highway, dirt path in the USA, the projectome is a map of the interstates between major cities.

Please someone tell me if this is way off base.

How else will I know when I forgot to release my parking brake?

Remember when they removed ultrasonic and radar sensors in favor of “Tesla Vision”? That decision demonstrably cost people their lives and yet older, proven tech continues to be eschewed in favor of the cutting edge new shiny.

I’m all for pushing the envelope when it comes to advancements in technology and AI in its many forms, but those of us that don’t buy Teslas never signed up to volunteer our lives as training data for FSD.

You’re saying he deserves more?!

Please take no offense in this, I will probably not use your name suggestions, SatansMaggotyCumFart

Some believe this happened years ago. Check out Dead Internet Theory.

What does it actually promise? AI (namely generative and LLM) is definitely overhyped in my opinion, but admittedly I’m far from an expert. Is what they’re promising to deliver not actually doable?

I signed up for a family plan a couple years ago and it’s honestly one of the last subscriptions I would cancel. I can justify it by the literally hundreds of hours of watching ads me and my family would have been subjected to otherwise.

Your girlfriend has birthmarks all over her body?

LLM just autocomplete on steroid.

Funny you should say this. I only have anecdotal evidence from me and a few friends, but the general consensus is that autocomplete and predictive text are much worse now than they used to be.

Why is thinnest ever placed in such high regard? Have you seen how ridiculous the new iPad Pro looks when the Pencil is attached to it for charging?

I think I’m in the vocal minority in that I really don’t give a shit about thin, especially if it affects performance, repairability, or battery life.

There is infrastructure involved with monitoring subscription status to make sure you’re not pirating heated seats. Also for taking payments to unlock your adjustable lumbar supports. They gotta pay for it somehow!

No, it’s disruption

I haven’t read the transcript of the earnings call, but I read the article(s) and the Wendy’s blog post in response.

It seems like there was indeed some misunderstanding somewhere along the way, in that the “dynamic pricing” that was referenced was not to be construed as surge pricing in any way, and was intended to reflect decreased (ebb? discounted? receding?) pricing that would be presented during off-peak hours to drive business.

The practice in itself isn’t inherently bad, but I can see this as an incremental move towards true surge pricing across the industry - which for the record I am against - and there isn’t really a way to position it in such a way as to be seen as a benefit to the consumer.

As with everything else, customers will vote for this practice with their wallets, and by the state of several other industries in which similar models have been adopted and begrudgingly accepted as the norm, I’m not holding out a lot of hope for a positive outcome here.

Wait for dat citation… before accepting that rationalization
