The only relevant acronym is MIPS, the rest seem to be naming conventions for helmet models or similar technologies. MIPS stands for Multidimensional Impact Protection System. It is a sort of shell inside the helmet touching your head that can rotate independently of the helmet its attached to. This reduces forces on the brain by allowing the helmet to move slightly relative to the head during an angled impact. This helps protect yoru brain by mimicking the natural protective mechanisms, such as the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid.
TLDR: buy one with MIPS or similar tech and chances are pretty high it’s a good helmet, safety wise. Comfort is subjective and not unimportant.
Thought experiment: What if it an extremely intelligent person memorised every Metallica song on a free Spotify account, down to every small detail. Later that person writes a new song, it’s heavily inspired by Metallica, it sounds like them, you might even mistake it for them except for the vocals, but the lyrics are new, the chords are new, etc. Did that person then violate copyright, even though it’s a completely new song?
I know the AI techbros are just scraping every datapoint they can get their grubby little hands on, but it makes me think.
Imagine for a sec that all that AI buzz and hype leads to something that is indistinguishable from that extremely intelligent person (however unlikely).
We’re not anywhere close to a scenario like that, but at what point is a regular artist that spent their youth listening to Britney Spears violating copyright law, philosophically speaking, when they decide they want to make music like that?
Penny for your thoughts.
