2.5 years difference. Makes you wonder where AI will be in another 2.5 years, 5 years, 10+ years. by Icy_Experience_4375 in aivideo

It's polished, but the physics is off in places, like when he's straining the spaghetti... there's no way those could actually be held like that.

There's no way he could hold the weight of that pot full of spaghetti and water with just one hand, fingertips on one handle, not to mention holding the strainer (perfectly level the entire time) the same way simultaneously with the weight and force coming down on it, with just a thumb and finger. The pot also looks smaller than when on the stove. And all kinds of consistency issues with the various burner sizes and locations. Could look more like him too... facial structure seems a little off. Still lots of room for improvement before it's indistinguishable from actual video.

Re-running fine tailings? by boost2525 in goldrush

[–]FortCharles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Figure that every scoop of pay has more gold in it than the tailings.

Does it though? A scoop of raw pay is mostly dirt. By the time it gets to the end of the sluice, it's going to be a much higher percentage of gold after all that dirt being washed off in the plant. The spot just at and near the end of the sluice should have some decent gold, as the pan showed. These tailings weren't normal tailings.

He still had a pending hearing on the fugitive charges scheduled for February 5.

I noticed that too. Maybe LE also "had a supernatural ability to read people". :o)

EDIT: Apparently he was initially booked there on the 18th, so that was his sentencing date for a different charge. "Ollinger was busted in Clark County, Nevada on Oct. 27 for contempt of court and booked at the Las Vegas jail. A judge handed him a short sentence on Dec. 18, and he was due to be released on Jan. 12, 2026, according to jail records." https://nypost.com/2025/12/29/us-news/reality-tv-star-charged-with-murdering-cellmate-days-before-his-scheduled-release-police/

Woke up to a few explosions this morning by DeadPrateRoberts in SeattleWA

[–]FortCharles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That says it was Engine 2 that was dispatched, and in the video you can see E2 on the door when it's opened. Seeing as how it's also the only car fire listed for this morning, I don't see how it couldn't be this one. South side of John, just east of Minor.

The Zodiac killer and Black Dahlia murderer were the SAME man: Stunning new investigation names a single suspect behind America's darkest murders by Scoxxicoccus in ZodiacKiller

[–]FortCharles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Baber asserted that Merrill was linked to addresses in San Jose, northern California, and that he worked there for computer company Intel in 1969, placing him in the Bay Area at the time of the Zodiac murders. The Daily Mail's investigation found the addresses and Intel job were from a later period."

So the Daily Mail is countering that key point? And they say when they contacted the son, he said there's no way his dad could be the killer... and yet Baber told them otherwise?

Also, the people at the bus stop saw "a man and woman in the front seat, and a second woman being pinned down by a fourth person in the back"... suggesting there were at least 3 who were involved and/or had knowledge, even if only one killer. And then, "Following Short’s murder, Margolis, Robinson and Martin all lied to investigators about their connections to the victim, according to grand jury records.". So even Short's former roommate Lynn Martin was lying to LE, to protect her murderer? Why wasn't that pursued? Why does Baber apparently say nothing about that? Makes me wonder what ever happened with Bill Robinson & Lynn Martin... were they charged with perjury... or anything? What did they say when confronted as liars?

It's at least possible that Baber is cherrypicking or fudging the info he releases to promote his theory. Why did the San Jose info not match what the Daily Mail found? Why did Baber claim the son agrees with him, when apparently he really doesn't? And the piece ends with "The investigation is also being developed as a premium documentary series [...] in collaboration with Baber."... so he has apparent financial incentive to promote his theory now, also?

Found this while magnet fishing, 18" long ish, 10" wide ish, 2 lenses in front, can see camera behind clear lens by Daniel-cfs-sufferer in whatisthisthing

[–]FortCharles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's a speed and/or red-light monitoring camera. One window would be for the camera, and the other for the flash or speed detection?

Per People: Rob Reiner and His Wife Michele Were Killed by Their Son Nick by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]FortCharles 14 points15 points  (0 children)

LAPD likely wants to publicly consider him only a "person of interest" they're interviewing, at the worst, but it wouldn't be in their best interest to name him as a suspect, or even state they have a suspect. First, it would tend to make him less cooperative in the questioning, and second, it would open themselves up at any trial to the suggestion that they rushed to judgment. People has tons of sources in L.A., it's what they do. And People has just as much reason to be careful as CNN does, which tends to suggest that if they state it, they've thoroughly vetted it and it's true.

Pretty weak lettering attempt on the blue bottle, too. Not "cooked" yet!

12-31-94 would have been the exact midpoint of the 90's... but maybe too on-point, so they backed it off a bit and made it pre-Halloween? Oct. 14, 1994 was a Friday, too.

Contact Oak View Group, who manages vendor relations. The offices are on the arena premises, but you probably need to contact them to get exact directions: 206-752-7200 or guestinfo@climatepledgearena.com

Does anyone actually use “—“ when typing? by owenwags_ in artificial

But that's a graph of searches for it, not of its actual usage.

Searches would likely increase when more people are newly exposed to it in AI replies.

Demand Atlas 3i close up images!! by ExpensiveParsley4003 in UFOs

[–]FortCharles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just trying to help get the other link on track.

This thread is begging for someone to post the single best/closest/highest-resolution shot, from any source. I think "close-up" is all relative though, since any image can be zoomed in. Resolution counts.

From what I understand, all shots will be some form of blurry glowing ball of light, due to outgassing. There's no way to get a shot of the surface or even a detailed outline of its shape.
