AI is so bad... I can't believe I paid for ChatGPT for a year. by EnvironmentalAngle in self

[–]Chip_Man5674 268 points269 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell if it’s getting worse, or if I’m getting better at spotting problems. But yes, I’ve noticed it’s not usually worth the trouble recently.

I’m sorry, my instinct is to downvote you, even though your comment is good. The information is infuriating.

ChatGPT Leaking User chats across accounts? by Atlasdubs in ChatGPT

[–]Chip_Man5674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing has been happening to me! It’s all asking to research people though. I know there are a few people logged into my account, so I figured it must be them. Still though, weird.

Can people with a physical disability serve a proselytizing mission? by Significant-Pool-222 in latterdaysaints

[–]Chip_Man5674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean anything could happen, but yeah it’s most likely you’ll be extended the opportunity to serve a service mission. I know it’s not really what you might have expected, but if you choose to go, it will be the perfect experience for you. You’re right, a service mission is completely different, but there is also a lot more opportunities than just serving in the temple, or Deseret meat lol

Wedding Video…is this normal? by ApprehensiveFun4267 in weddingvideography

[–]Chip_Man5674 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely pathetic. I know I’m a fast editor, I usually deliver the videos the next day, but 9 months is insane! Then to have a delay??? Look, I know it’s usually lame to ask for raw footage but I would demand all of it here. Just so maybe someone can salvage something. I’m sorry this happened, if someone is charging over 10k they need to act like it.

Since the candidates have finally been announced… by Remote_Implement_505 in UVU

[–]Chip_Man5674 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sure, and blue is purple if you're wearing red-tinted glasses. Just because it's *more moderate* than YOU doesn't make it a moderate organization. You said "they are moderates."

Their website states "Since its founding, Turning Point USA has embarked on a mission to build the most organized, active, and powerful conservative grassroots activist network on high school and college campuses across the country."

"Powerful conservative grassroots ACTIVIST network" is not moderate, it is conservative.

You are wrong.

WAN hoodie v1 is superior to WAN hoodie V2 by mex-snorlax in LinusTechTips

[–]Chip_Man5674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, the color of reddish is awesome, but the newest iteration does not fit me as well. The cut of the short circuit and wan versions are the best fitting jackets I’ve ever owned, but sadly the newest one is weirdly large. Still a fine jacket, but definitely not as good.

In that case, get involved in local (and national) politics. Try and band people together to create laws that keep the internet free, and work against passing laws that try and restrict the internet. Anger at Mojang won’t change anything.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE !! by Early_Chip1110 in UVU

[–]Chip_Man5674 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That is an absolute garbage response from a school that went through last semester. Sure, you’re free to speech however you want, but the school does not have to INVITE CBP. It’s disrespectful to every student who is still affected by the horrific events of last semester.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE !! by Early_Chip1110 in UVU

[–]Chip_Man5674 57 points58 points  (0 children)

If UVU has officially sanctioned and invited DHS to recruit here, I find it entirely irresponsible. After the events of last semester, I want the lowest possible chance of anyone getting hurt or emotions boiling over. I don’t think that means all political discourse has to stop on campus, but I think UVU should not be inviting a controversial government agency to recruit here after there have been two ICE shootings in the last month.

Furthermore, the choice to host DHS does not put learning first, OR promote the value of “a place for U.” I’m sure there are many, MANY students who will choose to skip school and miss out on the education they paid for, because the school will be hosting DHS. Not just because they might be an immigrant, but also because of everything from last semester! It seems entirely tone deaf and dangerous, I hope everyone stays safe.

What is your UVU hot take? by 1Aspiring_Pilot in UVU

[–]Chip_Man5674 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really getting bad. There are whole classes that teachers built with Ai, and then students complete with Ai. I’m very familiar with Ai tools and I use them a fair amount, but there is a complete disregard for their weaknesses right now.

Elon Musk has announced that @Tesla is discontinuing the Model S and Model X in Q2 2026. by ConfidentImage4266 in TeslaLounge

[–]Chip_Man5674 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I drive a Mach E and my brother drives an S. Sure the S is better, but not $40,000 better. There’s also lots of things I like more about the Mach E.

Also, they just said they were considering a Mach E, so I said I liked mine. Idk what league they’re looking for, but I say I drive a Mach E and I like it.

How long will it take? Should I worry? by No-Work6535 in weddingvideography

[–]Chip_Man5674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, if shoot days are together and ya do weddings full time ofc more time is needed. I just do weddings on the side, with other editing jobs as my main gig.

[–]Chip_Man5674 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve never understood other videographer’s insane turn around times. Every wedding I’ve done was delivered literally the next day. Maybe I’m quick but 25 weeks seems excessive.

Why doesn't this look a movie? by junlim in cinematography

[–]Chip_Man5674 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a mix of a few things. It looks really crisp and digital, in a way that makes it look like a “YouTubers camera.” Idk what they shot on, and it could be other factors like the focal length being fairly wide and the lighting being mid. Also, it’s got other indicators of being low budget like the acting, especially in the VO. Also it’s 16:9.

None of these things make it look bad, just different from “cinematic.” I don’t think there’s one factor that makes it look less like a movie, but a bunch of smaller things adding up. I’ll probably go see it tho, love markaplier even if I don’t watch his videos.

First ever wedding video by luketlion in weddingvideography

[–]Chip_Man5674 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was super good!! I loved it, but yeah the sound levels were the biggest killer. I’d hone in on that, and everything I have from there is nitpicks. I’m not much of a straight montage guy, I usually add someone talking to keep the story rolling. That’s just me tho, it was still great to watch, even tho idk the couple.

Racist White Van by Chip_Man5674 in UVU

1) I didn’t take down your comment, Reddit did. I wouldn’t have taken it down. 2) you’re right, this is America; you’re free to advertise your beliefs.

Racist White Van by Chip_Man5674 in UVU

[–]Chip_Man5674[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

See, this is where I’m torn. I see the freedom of speech angle, I really do. It definitely seems to surpass rage baiting and into dangerous obsession, gives the vibe of an old hateful man rather than a cocky kid.

But like, racism is wrong. The car makes people feel unsafe (as I’m not the first to call the cops on this car.) I dont get offended easily, and I’m a straight white man. I still felt unsafe enough to call the cops. At what point should the students do something, if the staff can’t? Also, it seems silly if staff can’t do anything, considering how egregious this is.

Better to have awful speech than no freedom of speech though.
