I like him enough as an actor to forgive the indiscretion if he had a change of heart. It seems there’s nothing past 2015, and I feel like he must have changed his opinion if he was silent about it during COVID.

Maybe it’s just wishful thinking, I haven’t looked past the wiki.

It went away the moment the sub got banned. They were basically feeding the troll.

Is a RaspberryPi enough to display 4K media, or would a more advanced mini PC be needed?

Your OP mentioned a PC. My point is basically that android tv boxes and even worse, commercial ones that lock you in, aren’t good solutions. You might as well get something that you can ssh into and do whatever you want with.

You will get a better experience if you treat your tv as a desktop instead of a phone imo. You can also easily get a UI that feels like an apple tv, but still be able to access your desktop or access it from a laptop if needed.

If you want to do fancy stuff, you will be stuck running around trying to find an app that doesn’t bombard you with ads while 10 lines of python would have done the job if you had something properly open and easy to use. There’s a bit of a learning curve I guess, but it’s nothing difficult.

Ed: that last one wasn’t my down vote btw, I was kind of being a dick and I can understand the mirrored tone.

Bee link mini s12 pro, there’s obviously other options. It will cost more then a fire stick because it’s actually protecting your privacy and giving you control of the device.

Am I in the wrong sub?

No that’s dumb. Just get a PC. It’s 2025, you can use your phone as a remote control if you don’t want a keyboard. They even sell little remotes with the keyboard included (search tv remote for htpc on Amazon, I’m talking about the Rii i8 model).

The fire stick phones home and won’t let you do what you want with it either. It’s the exact same thing as a smart tv.

You run jellyfin already so I’m guessing you have a server. Put it under your tv.

YouTube is funner with an ad blocker and a keyboard.

I think petty is the wrong word to use in this case and it doesn’t really apply. It’s a bit harsh.

I think it’s your last paragraph that I struggle with. It’s like if someone was saying the same about Photoshop, how in the end, it’s a computer that is doing all the work and the software can’t convey any messages.

This is true for a lot of AI work. 90% of it is slop with little though behind composition or anything of the kind. The last 10% does have someone behind it trying to convey a message, but most are ignoring him and listening solely to the medium.

I also think it’s fine to have bias, and it’s a part of the process, but a lot of people are trying to redefine what art is to fit that bias.

It would be fine if people were saying “this is art I don’t like because of the ethics of it” but most are saying things like “this is bad Art” or even worse, “this isn’t art at all” in broad strokes without actually trying to understand it.

Here, we fight the resentment we feel about our divorce, and try to move past it.

I went over this in an other comment a bit.

Real painting > digital painting > AI

I associate more value depending on skill level. All I’m saying is: if the pizza only taste like shit once you hear the opposite, the bad taste is in your head.

I do get that having the feeling one way leaves place to having the same type of feeling the other way. I guess it feels different though, hard to explain. It’s a valid sentiment in the end, it just feels a bit petty from my viewpoint.

It’s emotional exaggeration the moment you try to compare it to a child imo.

My pizza analogy was spot on, if you want, you can talk about the pizza factory using a lot of energy, then I could explain how the energy grid is at fault. I could explain how one pizza factory services millions at the same time so the impact is actually very small compared to real climate change drivers like cars, planes and shipping boats. There would be place to mention how AI is actually using energy that wasn’t necessarily expected and it’s worsening the grid which was already shit to begin with and making transition to green energy more difficult.

But you just went hardcore “think of the children” to try and frame AI as the greatest evil. Republican type tactics tbh.

What’s funny is no one gives a fuck where their shoes come from but they have been trained to care really really hard about the big bad AI.

The whole conversation is about seeing an image where you don’t notice it’s AI, and then changing your opinion after when you learn it is.

No need to lash out if you misunderstood.

The artist of the piece im commenting on said it tasted the same.

There’s a websites where you can guess if random artwork is AI or not, I invite you to test your own skill. It has become very hard to tell for a while now.

Did it hallucinate or make an educated guess?

That’s an unhinged analogy soaked in emotion. Whatever point you are trying to make, it has nothing to do with the one I’m talking about in the comment.

It’s a fair point. When I think about it, I come to the conclusion that at first I both consume them the same way, as pictures on a screen. So they start at both the same baseline (my immediate enjoyment) and learning something was done in a more complicated method or has a deeper meaning just adds to that baseline, but it to never will go down for the opposite.

I attribute more value to human made art, just like how I attribute more value to hand painted pieces compared to digital ones. I just don’t change my opinion towards the negative.

I also think there’s an error when assuming something can’t communicate because it was made partly or completely with AI. The GoP uses it to communicate hate for instance, that part mostly transcends the medium imo (even if again, the medium can add to it at times). I see AI as a tool, I don’t see it as the AI creating the piece.

Obviously, 3/4 of the scene is smut so it’s not like much high level communication is going on most times though lol. I’m selective in what I actually consider art, I wouldn’t call most outputs art just to be clear (or what the GOP is doing for that matter).

≈ 22 per year per ip x 20 different ips x over 8 years.

There’s also like 70 000 people working for meta, so having 20 perverts that download a porn movie on their work computer every 3 weeks kind of tracks.

Except you can’t tell, because it taste the same (as he clearly admits by saying his enjoyment only changes once he learns it’s AI).

It’s basically willingly entertaining and reinforcing your own placebos.

I always found this such a silly argument. Imagine eating a pizza and thoroughly enjoying it but changing your perception of taste willingly depending on how it was made. It’s admitting you are judging art based on everything except the actual piece, which sounds the opposite of what art is about.

It’s like in olden times when they judged a piece depending on the artists birth and status.

Not to say there isn’t a lot of slop out there that definitely belongs in the dumpster, but it’s hard to take someone seriously when they judge all of it broadly on this kind of basis.

We’re all out of witches. All we have left are astrologers and billionaires. Please advise.

Edit: not sure if my grandmother is giving me the peace sign or telling me to do them both.
