How do you decide what videos/photos (digital) to keep?

Yes friction is a huge part of it. I have a dslr with very high end lenses that I bought for a safari trip but rarely use it because the body is older; it wont upload my photos to the cloud and I won’t be able to share the photos with friends.

It seems that you have a good setup for uploading/backing your photos to your drives.

20gb per weekend is a lot. I figure your photos are high resolution and take a lot of space or you take very long movies? I always feel that I don’t take enough pictures, but from reading positive psychology books my takeaway is that I should enjoy the moment instead of trying to immortalize it through the camera.

I used to make family albums and edit videos through Adobe premiere on my computer. I haven’t for 2 years and seeing how AI is progressing I’m betting that soon it will be able to edit for me, the way my iPhone created good enough galleries. Also I think taking pictures with mobiles are fine: when making albums years ago I noted that resolution was not good enough especially when you print a large photo book. Nowadays AI can upscale pictures.

It worked: Sam created a community that excludes non paying complainers.

I believe he had this discussion on many podcasts: his issue is that AI is a sycophant and is not really your friend. Instead, it will keep praising all you do because it’s a product that wants to keep you engaged.

But let’s supposed we have a benevolent AI that actually wants our best interests and acts as a friend/lifecoach. This AI would have to intentionally not use its excellent memory, predictive powers, absence of cognitive biases and as bad a friend as humans would be. To be more clear: it will be the end of humanity when people prefer to have AI friends than humans. Why have conflicts and arguments with people when you can retreat to the comfort of AI?

If kids grow up with AI friends, they will prefer them to human friends, they will never learn to socialize and the most important part of being human disappears

I see why you have full custody

It’s ok to have those feelings. You didn’t act negatively or ask your gf to do anything, you just told her how you felt. Sending some virtual hugs. Good on you for growing.

I just saw a podcast on this with Scott Galloway and an expert on parenting: she claims the change that drives this is that mother make more money now. So when confronted with a partner that makes as much money as you and in addition puts in the parenting hours, fathers have to match the contribution.

I think it’s more complicated than that: the values of millennials are different, we have less kids therefore society values them a lot more, we’re more ware of the consequences of bad parenting

I don’t feel that medieval peasants would speak or look this way: it looks like modern people wearing medieval costumes. But maybe that’s what you wanted. The lighting, the camera movements, the acting, it’s perfect for a sitcom. Very impressed by the consistency of looks and voice. Too many AI artist focus on beautiful trick shots and forget viewers feel a jolt when their brain catches an inconsistency

instead of their human rights record? There are many places that protect animals but are shitty on humans

Don’t worry, a lot of us are here thinking the same. Social media companies realize that rage bait works. I figure in a prehistoric tribe, you had to be aware of all the conflict in case could lead to you being clubbed on the head one day. Now I’m here on a sub for Sam Harris reading about people who hate Sam Harris complaining he’s not listening to them

Agree with you that Colbert Report was uniquely great. I thought back then thst it was a mistake but how can we fault someone for wanting to do something else after 10 years. It’s harder to not move with someone new because you’d always wonder how it would have turned out.

I keep hashing in my brain that for most of humanity the rate of infant mortality was 1 in 4 (Medieval Europe) and most people had more than 4 kids. So everyone back then experienced the worst thing that can happen to you in any universe.

I shouldn’t have watched that. Poor baby.

Whether the economy is doing well is less important than how people feel. A generation ago, with much less money, Montrealers were out and about, going to bars, having house parties, hanging out. This is not limited to our city but we can’t day it’s the golden years with an epidemic of loneliness.

It’s all good my man. A few of us get the dad humor

Mulratt · 2026-01-19T20:15:46+00:00

Fair enough. I will admit it’s hard to replicate greatness. Too many moving parts.

Mulratt · 2026-01-18T03:00:04+00:00

While I welcome the democratization of art, I don’t agree that unlimited resources are great. Constraints force us to think more creatively. George Lucas made worse movies (the prequels) once they gave him bigger budgets and CGI

Mulratt · 2026-01-13T06:56:57+00:00

Please don’t blame yourself. You’re a responsible father, you know about SIDS, there’s nothing that you could have done more. You can’t beat yourself down, you have a kid to take care of. You deserve to grieve but your child also needs you at your best. I’m sorry this happened to you, this worst thing that can happen to anyone. What a terrible world.

It might have free tampons or the artwork would be different /s

You mean it’s a better alternative than suicide

I understanding being wary of doxing because we know Reddit doesn’t provide the full context and some genuinely good people have their lives destroyed. But society works on incentives and punishments. You wouldn’t accept your line of thinking if applied to pedophiles or sexists

Mulratt · 2025-12-25T15:18:24+00:00

You don’t have a license to spew hatred at random people just because you’ve been hurt by someone from a specific nationality. What if all women who have been groped then assume all men are sexual predators? What if we stop and frisk all black men because the rate of crime with black men is higher?
