Reply to Before 'Riverdale' came along and gave us immortal sorcerers and time travel, 'Archie's Weird Mysteries' was the weirdest TV series in the Archieverse by sundaynightheat99

I have not watched Riverdale, but I've watched the short versions of it on Youtube and it was... great. I know it wouldn't be that good, with the episode amount and the length of episodes watching the actual show though. But the way it seems to escalate is just something else.

It would be slower, but I'd disagree that it's too slow for that to work. In fact, I bet it could write something like autohotkey scripts to accomplish what it needs to do. You wouldn't have to have video and slowly move your mouse across the screen. You could get a screenshot, figure out where to move the mouse, then move the mouse to those coordinates and press left mouse button, take a screenshot to confirm the app is open, etc.

Having said that, anything that can be accomplished by opening a terminal should just be done there as it would be faster. In the short term though, there's lots of applications that are designed for humans that it would be great for LLM's to be able to interface with. Maybe in the long term they'll just write their own applications to accomplish something we'd normally need a gui for. Maybe there will be interfaces that have a human viewable component but most of the controls will gone. Like imagine a 3D modelling application that just has a viewer with just a few buttons to move the view around (It'll be easier to just spin the object to an angle yourself then say it.) But you'll have pointing and painting tools to help collaborate with the AI. ::draw a circle around a part of the mesh:: Make this area a little rougher. ::point to a leg, then draw a line coming out in a curve:: Have a tooth-like spike come out right here. Etc.

It'll be neat to see where this all goes, I suspect that UIs will radically change but in the near-term I'm sure there will be stop-gaps using current tech, too.

If you do stagehand work, I'd look into exhibit design for sure. A lot of companies do work for the big trade shows and conferences if you're near the area where those happen. They basically build sets in the exhibit hall and need the same kind of building and managing folks.

The applying is really the most soul crushing kind of grind, may you have good luck and endurance going through those job apps.

The Covid shot did this to me. Heart rate was almost hitting 150, I was uncontrollably shaking and so cold/clammy they couldn't keep the EKG stickies on me. They thought I was having a pulmonary embolism since I got J&J the day before. Had to go through all the tests to make sure it wasn't, was forced to stay over night because they couldn't discharge me until my BP and heart rate went down to safe levels. It wasn't a PE luckily, just a reaction to the vaccine.

I'm not anti vax but when it came time for boosters it was a hard fucking no from me. Also, the hefty ER bill for the visit due to the reaction to a mandatory (for my job) vaccine didn't sit to well with me, either.
