The reviews on CryAnalyzer at least are pretty bad. I think we may still have a long way to go
I am a 2 on the Aphantasia scale, so I can’t create photo realistic images in my head, but I can envision detailed enough phenomena in order to build a Memory Palace from time to time, I am out of practice now. I really only started learning history long after I stopped using such technique, not that I ever really used them extensively anyway. I found a better way to remember things was just to find them actually interesting, on some level or for some purpose. When it comes to history I find I structure things in terms of interweaving narratives. Events A and B happen begetting event C, and so on. Since I have found a way to find such events interesting my brain just keeps track of how one feeds into another, no scaffolding required.
I dont know if any of that helps, but I hope so
My read on the situation is that each major camp, accelerationists, pragmatist, and doomers, are an alliance of policy preferences. https://naiveskepticblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/23/three-perspectives-on-ai-accelerationism-pragmatism-doomerism/
In that light, e/acc can be seen as an on ramp for some people to support plowing ahead with AI. It doesn’t matter if their message is consistent with other people supporting AI acceleration. The point of an alliance is that there are many different on ramps, and it is the destination that matters
