Odds and Ends and Somehow, no Studying and a Deadline Approaching.

 Some catching up on ideas One has been putting together, quite instead of the Python training One actually Needs to be doing; 

Those Two Magic Words

 Not so Looming as before - a larger set, but still not getting there. It's Dark, and that monitor right in front of me is a pain. The Image logo on screen also isn't centered? It's a proof of concept, but Still. Ug. Back to the semi-drawing board on this idea. 

Replacing the Wemo controllers with the new Kasa controllers. Seriously, that's about Half of them. The Lair is rife with these remote controls. But - this version of Kasa can operate independent of the phone app, which means One may be able to connect them to the SUtech Lair AI. 

Some developing notes on That. One Can build Manjaro on a Rasberry Pi 4, and then integrate that into the Yellow Home Assistant, and One can run a Python Program (SUtech) on that Rasberry Pi, but One isn't as yet certain how One can have SUtech work with Yellow. Or just create something similar to Yellow. It's going to be a Thing when One gets down to the hardware level of drivers and input/outputs. 

Some links to stories One has stumbled into; 
SuperVillain Zuck the Suck lost the "Grandfather of Ai" because the science researcher wanted to move away from LLMs to a new concept "World Model". 

More on this "World Model". 

The above two are important for SUtech. One can actually Ask AI to write a digital assistant and have it incorporate code to use any of the existing AIs out there - and it takes Moments. Does One understand it? No, not at all. And that points an accusing finger at my falling behind in studying Python. But, if One wants to have Fun, One needs to be at the closer edge to something new. Evil knows, Malignobots (more below) aren't it, because they're crab-walking quadrupeds, and everything is inline dog/deer walking robots - and humanoids these days. So, World Model AI might be where SUtech can distinguish itself. One was already hearing things about LLMs that were using more specific models (why pull Everyhing, when you could pull only the Best?). 

Imagine a SUtech that worked like This (but with a robot horse head). 

And Malignobots. 

One of those AI generated images forgot to put in the eye, but One was thinking about the image it produced; 

Missing the eye, but that got One thinking. 

One has taken a fancy to this. They're sentries and being cyclopes won't cause any worse failure rates. 

That Cylon Eye. 

The theatrical effect can be done cheaper. But One likes the idea of the eye moving around. 

The Crab Walking of a Malignobot

And One tried 6 legs - which are Far more stable. But each leg adds 3 servo motors (a complete system is a servomechanism) which adds weight requiring bigger servos adding more weight and on and on. See "Malignanceship: Too Big to for Reentry" (Fuel took up half the ship). 

Lastly, it's gotten late, but One found this and thought it was interesting. These sites keep popping up.
