@johannab JoCo!!!! Sadly when I’ve seen him it’s been family shows so it’s about “hugging”
Okay that very idea is just somehow funny.
Had a phase when my kid was a tiny squish during which either Skullcrusher Mountain or Code Monkey had to be sung at bedtimes/naptimes.
I don't know, what OmniTools is using for OCR in the background.
It is easy to run it locally.

Sometimes I think about how in videogaming "the meta" is the current popular way to beat the game often using exploits.
That's what a Meta is, a trendy new cheat.
@futurebird the metagame is often more applicable in multiplayer games where it refers to the collection of strategies which beat other strategies and requires a careful accounting of not just all possible techniques but a weighting of most likely along with other factors such as potential team play and support options. that it has been abstracted into single player gaming is perhaps a analogy to the sort of alienation process occurring in surveillance-based social media
spicy opinion:
one of the most disrspectful things you can do as a presenter, to your audience, is stand up in front of them and do a talk with a 100% ai generated slide deck.
you couldnt even take the time to build your own deck out, and we're supposed to take you seriously? you didnt care enough to build your own deck, so why should the audience give a shit about it?
its just a sociopathic/narcisistic play to get on stage and be in the spotlight for a moment. and its super obvious.
boo.

AI in a nutshell.
@Viss
CEO at my last job AI generated his presentation the night before, didn't sleep, rolled on stage 30 minutes late visibly stinking of weed. One slide was six screenshots from his phone of a ChatGPT conversation which he read to the audience.
The company never made a single sale ever again.
