Like, if you don’t get the problem here, I really don’t think I can explain it.

tbh I might need AI to explain it to me because to me you just said: people like trash

hence the success of a lot of the Marvel films despite rapid decreases in quality, or the Star Wars sequels.

The part I don't get is, what difference does it make (to you) if the trash is made by a guy using AI or made by a company?

The main thing is that quality movie cinema goers like yourself have an organic free range no ai involved movie experience, and so long as there is enough of you out there (and there should be) then you'll be able to enjoy your cinematography experiences while the rest of us watch slop (and ultimately isn't this what is currently happening anyway?)

Not only that but are you assuming that AI and computational power will never reach a point where we'll be able to create a wide variety of films and movies that are on par with or exceed today's movies?

Are we assuming there will never be a movie that's made using AI that is better than these:

or the garbage that's on TV at 3 in the morning?

a person using AI is telling me they don’t value their own mind to the point they rather outsource it to a dumb prediction machine

Why do you believe this is so?

Most creative work is taking what we think of (an idea or thought) and putting it into action, a movie is just a more elaborate version of a story which we have been telling each other since the beginning of time

If I tell Veo3 a story and it brings the story to life with visuals and audio where have I not valued my own mind?

This feels like elitism: I had to learn a whole craft (singing/song writing/instrument etc) to bring my idea to life, you didn't use a fancy camera with fancy video editing software, you just told a computer what you'd like to see or hear, how dare you!


The reason why the original hot take is bad is because it is simply referencing all the most obvious limitations of LLM's at the time (problems with fingers, over explaining answers)

This would be like in 1995 saying smartphones?? like tiny computers that fit in your pocket? Wow that'll be so shit! Oh great so now my wrist watch computer takes 5 minutes to boot up so I can check the time? and then it'll probably blue screen of death! I bet I'll get a virus then have to run a virus scan on it ughhhhhh

Do half of you realise you would get better quality discussion if you weren’t so cunty

But most people will never see one, nor do they care to see one

then who cares?

this is like being sad people don’t care for Marionette shows anymore

so you don’t know how capitalism works

mcdonalds is cheap and largely made by automation, in fact if it was made by automation today most people probably wouldn’t realise … but restaurants and cafes still exist

if there is demand for organic movies with no ai then we’re going to build it

[-] [email protected] -2 points 13 hours ago

Companies will try to replace as many jobs as possible with AI, meaning everything gets considerably worse in quality and reliability, and there won’t be any new jobs to replace the old ones

lol that’s not how capitalism works

It's interesting that I can't find a single video on youtube of what was happening there so I'll stay quiet for now :P

You seriously gonna take the word of a Courier Mail

Nah the comment I linked to was a person who was there:

Not really. These protesters were out of control.

Five members of my family were dropped off by a taxi next to this protest to go to a nearby restaurant and were immediately set upon by a few members of the protest group.

My family members included an elderly couple, a middle aged couple, and a teenage son.

First the protestors demanded to know if they were attending the Wickham event, and they replied "no, please leave us alone." (I mean come on, an elderly couple going to a dance event, c'mon).

But the protest group kept following them and harassing them all the way to the Japanese restaurant they were eating dinner at.

For the record, our family is generally left leaning, and has no ties whatsoever to either the Jewish or Islamic communities. They were simply passing by.

They're all very shaken up by it even a few days later.

Why not take it from the mouths of the people who were there: https://www.facebook.com/

Hamas has a reputation for ruling Gaza with an iron fist. In early May it announced it had executed six people and shot another 13 in the legs for alleged looting, and last week killed another four.

"A warning has been issued — those who ignore it bear full responsibility," the group said.

Amplifying the risks inherent in drug-taking is “bluetoothing” or “hotspotting”, which involves drawing the blood of an intoxicated person and injecting into others to share the high – a trend that’s been seen in several countries over the past few years, including Zimbabwe and South Africa.

In Lesotho, hotspotting usually involves crystal meth, which has become one of the most common drugs in urban areas.

For the first time in world history, the main strategic aviation force, the carrier of nuclear weapons, was defeated right at its bases by a group drone strike. The outstanding sabotage operation of the Security Service of Ukraine will go down in all military history books, as this defeat of Russia is one of the most costly in terms of consequences and losses, which seriously reduces the number of Russia's strategic nuclear forces.

At the moment, according to our sources, 41 strategic and military transport aircraft of the Russian Armed Forces have been hit at four bases. Some of the drones were attacked with auto-targeting, and the results of their strikes will be determined using satellite imagery.

A group of SBU agents smuggled 150 small attack drones and 300 rounds of ammunition into Russia.

116 drones took to the air.

The drones were controlled via Russian telecommunication networks, using automated guidance.

Several mobile take-off points on Russian territory were located near Russian strategic aviation bases.

The drones were attacked from a short distance during the day in the enemy's deep rear. The air bases were covered by significant air defence forces - anti-aircraft missile systems, electronic warfare systems, and patrols with small arms. But the Russians expected nighttime attacks by heavy, large attack drones, which are clearly visible in the air, and did not expect an attack by small quadcopters during the day.

The attack on the Olenya strategic missile base of Tu-95s was particularly successful, as the drones accurately hit the filled fuel tanks and a significant number of the aircraft burned to ashes.

An operation of this scale and with such a huge economic and military effect, at such a high technological level, has no analogues in the world.

It is very important that the SBU agents have successfully returned to Ukraine. Ukraine did not suffer any losses.

Results:

  • Military equipment worth billions of dollars was destroyed;

  • strategic aircraft, which Russia does not produce, were destroyed.

  • Weakened enemy strike capabilities, as these aircraft were an important component of constant terrorist attacks on Ukrainian cities.

  • The enemy will have to spend a lot of money to strengthen the defence of its bases and facilities.

Yes, such achievements should be recognised with the highest state award. Is it possible to award a second Hero of Ukraine to SSU leaders? Because the results are worth it.

The heroes who directly performed such a historic task and returned with victory certainly deserve the highest title.

"I separate them. The mail guy in the front, the lady she was in back. She spit on him, in his face. And mail guy, he got mad. Lemon juice next to the coffee machine, he threw on her. So she took the knife," the deli worker said.

Witnesses claimed that, in an instant, Cruz pulled out a knife and fatally stabbed Hodge.

Yeah

Cruz stands a towering 6 feet 5 inches tall. Witnesses to the murder described her as huge, and said she appeared to be high on drugs during her confrontation with Hodges.

...

Well thanks for adding a +1 to the womens murder rate and not to mens, we need it

The war in Gaza began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251.

Hamas still holds 58 hostages, about a third of them believed to be alive.

The European Commission welcomes the adoption of the 17th EU sanctions package against Russia, signaling continued support for Ukraine amidst its war. The key elements and objectives of this package include:

  1. Anti-Circumvention Measures: Targeting Russia's "shadow fleet" by listing an additional 189 oil tankers, bringing the total to 342. These vessels are subject to port access bans and service prohibitions, significantly hampering Russia's ability to export oil outside the price cap regime (reducing deliveries by 76% since listings began). The package also adds 31 new companies supporting Russia's military-industrial complex or sanctions evasion.
  2. Additional Listings: Adding 75 new individuals and entities undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity, primarily from the Russian military and defense sectors. New listing criteria are being used. This extends previous efforts to target those enabling Russia's war effort.
  3. Trade Measures: Expanding restrictions on dual-use and advanced technology exports aimed at cutting off key technologies for military use, including specific chemical precursors (like chlorates) linked to Russian missile propellants and high-precision CNC machine tool components.
  4. Sakhalin Exemption: Extending the exemption from the oil price cap for the Sakhalin-2 project's crude oil shipments to Japan until June 2026, based on energy security concerns.

The Commission emphasizes that these sanctions are working, pointing to:

  • Russia selling resources cheaply and buying necessities expensively.
  • Significant economic strain: high inflation (above 10%), soaring deficits, interest rates at 21%, and depletion of the National Wealth Fund.
  • A near 80% drop in oil and gas revenues compared to pre-war levels (falling from €100 billion in 2022 to €22 billion in 2024).
  • Reduced trade with the EU (Russia losing over 60% of its pre-war trade).

The Commission highlights the need for continued vigilance against sanctions circumvention, working with G7 partners and third countries through coordinated lists (Common High Priority Sanctioned Goods and Economically Critical Sanctioned Goods) and ongoing outreach efforts.
