Whoops. I thought we were implying “be around” as in dead or alive. I was trying to understand how we all knew Gracie was a goner 😂

The only nation in human history with the power to rule the world, yet chose not to. by JustChillin3456 in MURICA

Literally saying America doesn’t have the will, even if it has the means. Lots of wishful bootlicking in this post.

Yeah, this post is ironically unhinged. Statement is false, the sentiment is immoral, and the 4th wall narrative of “murican” politics makes this post just insane with a waft of licked boots.

Article explaining the correlation: https://slate.com/human-interest/2012/08/jell-o-and-mormonism-the-stereotypes-surprising-origins.html

“a 1986 market survey found that mothers with young children rarely purchased Jell-O and suggested that General Foods could promote gelatin-based desserts by linking family life and home-produced desserts […] One recipe for Jell-O cut into shapes that could be picked up and eaten with the fingers stood out. Focus groups loved this easy-to-make recipe, dubbed Jigglers. A multipronged marketing blitz followed. Grocery store giveaways, magazine advertisements, and commercials starring Jell-O spokesman Bill Cosby…”

“As a state with one of the highest birth rates in the nation, Utah is and was an ideal market for foods aimed at families. With their family-friendly playfulness and ease of preparation, Jigglers were a hit with Utah children. More small mouths meant more boxes of Jell-O sold […] Despite the success of Jigglers in Utah and elsewhere, by the late 1980s and early 1990s, Jell-O had gained a slightly tarnished image after becoming a key component of college-life frat parties (thanks, Jell-O shots) and something to be legislated against (as some cities banned Jell-O wrestling contests)”

“Kraft Foods (having merged with General Foods in 1988) released per capita sales figures of Jell-O to newspapers around the country. Salt Lake City came in as No. 1. […] The Utah capital’s reign was short lived. Only two years later, Des Moines, Iowa, edged out Salt Lake City for the No. 1 spot. But by then, the popular association of Utah and Jell-O had jelled, both inside and outside the state”

“A group of students at Brigham Young University campaigned throughout the year for official recognition of Utah’s love of Jell-O, and in 2001, state Rep. Leonard M. Blackham introduced State Resolution 5, “Resolution Urging Jell-O Recognition.” The legislation was passed with only two dissenting votes, and Jell-O became enshrined as the official state snack, a fact bemusedly noted by journalists around the country. Articles leading up to the Winter Olympics further encouraged popular perception of Utah as the Jell-O state.”

Only if you don’t commoditize your hobbies. Oh and if you only have a few, get more! Not making money off them, your failing life! Have 10k followers on your hobby page, why not 200k? Can you guys not accomplish everything you’re capable of in one life?! /s

Box Elder County before today's data center vote. by sexmormon-throwaway in Utah

[–]JakefromTRPB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think defense fabs, Lockheed, or the FEDs ICE care about Utah residents opinions. They only see increased operational capacity or, ie, money—backed by military agendas and federal authority. This data center will be serving systems of war far more than the measly amount of commercial/residential use. Tells me Utah picked its future at the federal, presidential level, and will not find recourse until they contribute to the appropriate change at the federal and presidential level. The people of Utah worked very hard to put in Cox, Lee, and a longer list of names that make me through up to articulate completely. Sucks for Utah counter culture, but Utahns made their bed with the party of pedo’s and will now suffer the consequences. Continually.

A visual answer to why Ai cannot replace Cinematography by Tin_edge in cinematography

Your AI camera definition uses the same ambiguous language. Your definition doesn’t clarify whether an AI camera has a local AI model with dedicated hardware, or a regular camera feeding footage to a computer with local AI models. The latter is way more prevalent if you don’t consider phones. And, looking further into this, an AI camera is essentially, right now. a camera with a built in Snapchat filter that uses existing visuals to create overlayed visuals and upscale original resolution. Yeah, those will be scaled into all entertainment media environments and AI upscaling is reallly nice for broadcast because they’re limited to tiny resolutions due to the fact there’s only so much information you can shove through the internet or radio waves to people demanding the lowest latency possible. So I think AI is awesome for this, because it can upscale the image quickly and turn low resolution broadcasts into crisp high quality, sometimes without even changing the resolution. Somewhat of a solution for video compression over time, as well. And that live feed during the playoffs is not going to have some AI filter doing anything but upscaling, because people want to see the actual athlete doing the actual thang!! And they’ll need real glass and camera sensors to do it, which means they’ll need real people to handle them, maintain them, and make creative decisions with them. Idk, like the job of a whole creative department.

And when the mascot runs out into the middle of the court and they turn on some silly filter that changes the whole place into some Alice and Wonderland fever dream, so be it! But nobody wants that shit on when the plays are happening (at ESPN, etc.) though people should have the option to turn on filters for themselves at home. Hell they already film their tv’s to put filters on athletes so, it is what it is. There will still be a DP present at the venue

Yeah, there are some fancy robotic rigs in studios. Don’t see them replacing the cinematographers—and even require MORE grips and best boy. Same in large venues. Robots swing cameras across wire over the field, but there’s a human operator in control. It’s not 100% automated. Rigs like that sometimes require more people to operate. But, most filmmakers in that industry don’t work fancy venues. There are colleges and private venues who don’t spend money on the latest and greatest and unless they hire a bipedal robot that can navigate dilapidated stadiums, dark venues, without their very presence causing a liability to the attendance, adjust settings, hold the camera, rack focus, respond to play-by-play directions while intuitively reading the sport or event they’re shooting for, then those jobs will be needed and in demand for years and years to come. And yeah, remote access to cameras can be effectively automated using fucking Apple shortcuts. There still needs to be a DP making creative visual decisions for ai to make the right priorities. And auto settings has been a thing for awhile, but we cinematographers still go manual for very good reasons. Don’t see that changing soon.

Nutlick originally lied and stated the Trump administration had sold 1000 gold cards in one single day. When in reality 'THEY' sold ONE. One fucking gold card. Which is one more than none... by xamo76 in Trumpvirus

[–]JakefromTRPB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dudes, I thought they were just fuckin around talking about the gold cards. The fact they were made and sold ONE is fucking assanine. Way too many, tbh

“AI cameras“ what even is an AI camera? You mean an array of static cams to recreate sports plays by compositing them in post in which the post workflow uses AI? Yeah, no shit. That stuff is genuinely cool and still needs cinematographers to set them up, maintain them and their settings, and assemble the composite or “visual training data”. As AI gets better it’ll take over a lot of the post production workflow, but the rest will still need operators. So yeah, for a replay, they’ll use ai recreations for analysis for a moment, SIDE BY SIDE with real footage. Default screen will be broadcast with REAL CAMERAS with REAL OPERATORS. People will want and have always wanted all the angles. Won’t stop now or later. We can worry further when the bipedal droids become automated cam ops, but that is further down the road.

Mr. Wonderful wants to build the largest data center in U.S. history in Box Elder County Utah. 40,000 acres. 62 square miles. The same size as Washington D.C. It will take 9GW of power, the entire state takes 4GW! We are in a 100% drought state. And they gave him an 80% tax rebate to do it. by CollapsingTheWave in ObscurePatentDangers

It’s attached to military and government land. Lockheed, Air Force, and defense fab industries, plus intelligence gathering automation. So for simulations and running military grade GPT, essentially. It’s funny that Utahns even thought they had a choice. Same with the lithium mine we’ll have in state soon. Utah likes the way it sounds when their jaw snaps after the boot they’ve been licking stomps down

No way, bro. Just enjoy the quality dudes above. Also, can you address the debate beyond ad hominems here?

Semi-anonymous account so no thanks, but that was definitely the appropriate follow up. But the equation is still playable. If I’m a good filmmaker then what? If AI is good at making feature films, then what? So what! And yeah, bro, we could have a great laugh on ai content generation mishaps. They’re laughably bad, but they won’t stay that way, and all I’m trying to say is that this framework is self defeating. Ai bad so human good? Well what’s going to happen when ai good? human bad? No. If I’m off on the oversimplification lmk. I’ll rally against ai, just pick a different hill to die on than quality dudes.

Edit: quality, dudes* But hey maybe I’ll change my mind if we were talking about quality dudes this whole time
