@AtheismJesus @freespiritxzz @anthraxxxx Not everyone has to.
I don‘t go to Mt. Everest, just because I‘d like to see it.
I personally love places where regular tourists aren‘t able to go.

@alright_mark Maybe a dumb question, but isn't the fly just TRYING to drive, not learning it?
I mean it's not like it's generating new neural connections or memories while doing it, right? Since it is static model of it's connectome.

@MRDA99 @dmit0820 @AdamCampbell789 @sainimatic Bound to what?
There is no reason to assume there is magic involved in consciohsness.
The issue is that there is no way to really tell from the "outside".
I'll never be able to confirm that you are truly coscious for example.
How would I even be able to determine that?

@LNGFrankie @fawfulfan I agree on the warmer tones, however that won‘t help much with astronomy, since the advantage of sodium vapor was the very narrow spectrum of the light, making it easy to filter out without affecting the rest.
LED is wide spectrum anyway, even if you reduce blue.

@sleeknub @CzajkaCzajeczka @Stop_Cham As somebody who drives trains: Thank you!
It‘s infinitely better to damage a damn pole than derailing a train and endangering yourself, the driver , onlookers and everybody on the train.
This should be a no-brainer for anybody.
They are built to break when you drive into them.

@AZiHeron @kittygang_4ever ThEy!

@catalyticmemes @BlimpusCrunch @RagingOwlbear @shadipetosky The discussion was about keying out the green suits and replacing the background, which could have absolutely be done without a computer. So I don’t quite get your “the final product cannot be made without a computer” comment, which, of course, is nonsense.
Not that anyone would.

@catalyticmemes @BlimpusCrunch @RagingOwlbear @shadipetosky I wouldn’t say it”s a problem, but when vfx-budgets are too small, or films turn into animation movies for whole stretches, it can feel badly done or overused.
Of course basically every modern movie uses vfx in some capacity and nobody notices or cares.
I personally love good cgi

@catalyticmemes @BlimpusCrunch @RagingOwlbear @shadipetosky “Export the final image”, lol.
Do you think they “imported” and “exported” any images for Star Wars in 1977?
It was all done with analog film and analog copy machines where multiple film rolls were superimposed through mattes onto a new negative in a huge machine.

@Hendrick_488 @aerofede @OnDisasters I’m not a police officer, and I know I’m talking from the sidelines here, but seriously, this seems like exactly a situation training should prepare you for.

@JanuszPol1 @SustainableTall taking an off-peak subway photo and a peak highway one would show the opposite, lol.

@mcrs987 At what point is just painting a texture the better solution?
I mean this is waaaaay past that point. lol

[RufftaMan @RufftaMan]

@4m473r45u @Jiweep @SkyeSharkie Yeah, we're fucked both ways. People believing the dumbes AI generated slop, but simultaneously doubting real videos of events.
Nothing good can come out of this.

[RufftaMan @RufftaMan]

@zoom_gtm @MagellanQuest What do you mean?
A 200m FVDosto has 682 to 577 seats, which means the theoretical max capacity of a Swiss intercity train is 1364 seats (usually 1259), while a regional train like a Flirt has ~190.
I wouldn‘t call 1 train for an average of 818 excessive in that context.

[RufftaMan @RufftaMan]

@theiaincameron I get how the shape makes sense like that, but why is nobody asking the real question: Why does it even float??
Islands made of rock and dirt don‘t float.
What is it made of?

[RufftaMan @RufftaMan]

@AJamesMcCarthy @WakeTooWake Yeah, i‘ve seen 2 in person so far, and the difference between partial and total is insane. Might as well not bother for a partial one.

@RavioliMan98 @TolkienWorldG The issue is that you‘re not owning the actual file, just the right to stream it remotely. So essentially you‘re paying for a service.
It‘s dumb, and companies love when people don‘t actually own stuff.

@posedscaredcity @matt96h @xenesed @thehorizon2b2t Your comparison doesn‘t hold weight. There were mechanisms against that with seals and heralds.
But the more important point is that propaganda doesn‘t work by convincing people, but by sheer volume of misinformation.
AI-generated images and videos are the perfect tool for that.

[RufftaMan @RufftaMan]

@posedscaredcity @matt96h @xenesed @thehorizon2b2t I‘m talking click of a button misinformation, in a time where trust in the media is low, and mistrust in the government is high.
This seems like a recipe for disaster to me, and a huge boon for populist manipulators.
Don‘t play dumb with VFX comparisons. It‘s not the same.

[RufftaMan @RufftaMan]

@posedscaredcity @matt96h @xenesed @thehorizon2b2t You‘re naive if you can‘t see how this will negatively impact your life.
