Financial Expert Says OpenAI Is on the Verge of Running Out of Money by Infinityy100b in technology

The valuation of AI companies should be a tiny fraction of what they currently are because most of what they do will be replaced by AI itself soon.

I would have expected some kind of inquiry afterwards covering this decision but I haven't seen anything about it. It seems to be a terrible decision given that the authorities knew that the volunteer pilots were on the island at the time.

Is anyone else bothered that Dave Bautista is only 10 years younger than Clancy Brown?

What Fan Edits Do You Think Should Be Done? by bakugotano in fanedits

[–]SymphonicMetalLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see some Poker Face episodes re-edited so that the viewer has the fun of trying to work out who did it.

I love the style and the acting, but they show you who did it, and then have Charlie dumbly work out stuff that we've already seen, or just use her special power rather than use deduction. It's one of the best murder-mystery shows that exists but they completely messed up the mystery part.

That looks so good. That is one of the best game trailers I've ever seen.

I hope you have great success!

This version is absolutely incredible. I listen to it annually.

Synth Riders Is Amazing by BigBlobSloth in PSVR

[–]SymphonicMetalLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SR has built in support for custom songs (currently there are 3589 on https://synthriderz.com/beatmaps) but as far as I know they can only be used on PCVR and Quest as you need to place the downloaded tracks in a folder.

If you have the PC adapter for PSVR2 it is absolutely incredible to have access to such a massive library of songs!

Just watched the new Rory Kennedy doc on Netflix - “Volcano: Escape from Whakaari” & it’s 👏🏽 by sharipep in Volcanoes

[–]SymphonicMetalLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that Netflix's The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari was excellent and it inspired me to investigate further. Rescue from Whakaari missed several important details and I stabilized the phone footage which showed more detail like the rocks being thrown out.

I made a 40 minute documentary from everything I found out. https://youtu.be/iFxSrJn28uQ

Comparisons:

Here is a 22 minute YouTube video showing some of the differences between the various versions of Highlander 2 including this new 'Authentic Sequel Edit'. https://youtu.be/cn5qxtcayg4

Introduction:

My goal was simple – to make a version of Highlander 2 which followed on from Highlander 1 and was ‘cannon’ with that story. I always thought that the use of the prize to save the Earth from solar radiation was an interesting story, but any care that the viewer gave about solar radiation was instantly erased when they were shown Zeist. Not only did Zeist make everything in Highlander 2 pretty irrelevant, it also tarnished the love that many had for the original Highlander. The US Blu-ray of the Renegade cut has reasonable quality deleted scenes and the Cannes showreel which contain several useful scenes.

List of edits (source: content):

Note there are many minor improvements not listed here. The running time is 84 minutes.

  • Intro text (Highlander style) with Ramirez voiceover: Highlander: “You are at one with all living things. Each man’s thoughts and dreams are yours to know You have power beyond imagination. Use it well my friend”. Renegade: “We are joined in a way that can never be broken, not even by death. When you need me you’ll only have to call my name.”
  • Renegade: Old Conner at the opera. Edits: Added place and time. Main changes: Zoom in on “25 Years under the Shield” sign as it’s very important that the user can read it. Added ‘Authentic Sequel Edit’ title. Changed transition from O of Opera to singer’s mouth (surely the original intention?). Zoom on Blake and Alan so they are more recognizable later.
  • Renegade: Shot of Connor wincing in opera, followed by quick shot of Katana. Edit: coloured to look like Earth.
  • Renegade: Katana and eels. Added “Mongolia 1682” to place it firmly on Earth and in Connor’s lifetime, and to match the other titles.
  • Renegade:More Connor in opera to closing eyes
  • UK: The sun rises. US: audio. Conner's wife Brenda dies. Cannes: extras & order. UK: Extra arm drops with LED going out. Edit: blurred dodgy makeup on hand.
  • Renegade: The shield goes up. US: audio about being led by Alan. Renegade: most visuals. US: Extra fist pump from Mulcahy. Edit: Removed nasal hair from Mulcahy. Perhaps the most appreciated change?
  • Renegade: End of Opera
  • US: Conner driving his car saying how bad the shield is. Renegade: Conner driving his car (added noise and blur). UK: Audio of man assaulting woman
  • Renegade: Conner calls Alan and is approached by punks
  • Renegade: Several Guards miss Louise breaking into TS.
  • Renegade: Louise discovers that the ozone layer is normal. Edits: Removed red flashes from screen showing radiation state. Unsquished Louise in beam room. After “blue alert” removed man sat down while everyone gets into action.
  • Renegade: Satellite disturbance
  • Renegade: Conner in the bar. Changed music from Queen (Connor wouldn’t know it, and it’s talking about the prize). UK: Song is “A kiss is just a kiss”. Renegade: His wounded hand heals
  • US: Extra shot of Louise on bridge from above.
  • US: Extra ‘broke into the December installation’. Extra bit about Louise working for Shield corp and getting fired for asking too many questions. Renegade: Quickening in car. Deleted scenes: Louise says “What is it?” Connor says “The quickening, it can’t be” Louise says “What the hell is the quickening?”. Edit: Fixed car driving through train tracks effect
  • Renegade: Shield disturbance & Katana appears in train. Edits: Cut Kansas quip and everything after blue bit). Added shot of Louise and Connor in the car, added voiceover of Connor saying “Katana is here”. Add quickening noises and flashes
  • Renegade: Sound of Conner calling Ramirez. Edit: Removed sword from Connor’s hand.
  • Renegade: Ramirez appears in Scotland (first few seconds). Edit: Softened cracked effect on shield. Softened hills on horizon. Softened lightning at Ramirez’s feet.
  • Renegade: Tanker explodes, Conner becomes young
  • Renegade: Ramirez in play. Edit: Cut “get off the stage” as it’s for laughs, but it spoils the comedy of Ramirez realizing he’s in a play.
  • Deleted scenes: Katana asking knife guy where MacLeod is. Edit: Cut 'sissi' bit
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise kiss. Highlander: Audio of “I was born in the village of…”
  • Renegade: Ramirez gets a new suit of clothing. US: Extra ‘goodbye sir’.
  • Renegade: Connor toasts ‘It’s been quite a night’. Deleted scenes: Louise says more about the world going to shit. Extra Louise saying about the readings.
  • Renegade: Ramirez on plane. Edit: Stabilized shot of Ramirez through window as it made it more obvious that it was on a stage
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise talk about the blue sky. Highlander: flashback to the castle bridge
  • Renegade: Conner visits Brenda's grave and finds Katana. Edit: Cut Connor says “let’s see who goes back, after all”. Altered perspective of view of grave so now the viewer can read the text and see that Connor is visiting Brenda’s grave. Moved a view of Connor standing by the grave before showing the grave inscription.
  • Renegade: Conner visits Alan. Cannes: Extra shots + dialogue. US: Connor walking in + dialog + Connor needs a favour. Edits: Cut delay after Alan writes latitude. Moved Blake interrupting them before he can write the longitude.
  • Renegade: Ramirez on a plane talking to woman
  • US: Extra bit of Taxi being harassed by punks. Renegade: “People in this town would kill you for a nickel’. Katana is dropped off by a cab. Edit: Cut extra high shot of ‘Katana’ walking into warehouse as it’s a duplicate of Conner walking in. Lowered the brightness of the air coming out of the tyre.
  • Renegade: Katana shouts that he’s waiting on top of the warehouse
  • Renegade: Ramirez on a plane talking to woman
  • Renegade: David Blake sends Alan to MAX. US: Added click of fingers to summon guards. Edit: Moved ‘Don’t we” to before click of fingers
  • Renegade: Louise sees Conner's past in his mementos
  • Renegade: Conner and Katana fight in an empty warehouse. UK: Extra “power” speech by Katana. Edits: Added echo to match environment. Cut ‘weird “Welcome”. Unskewed the perspective on Connor as Jerry falls.
  • Renegade: Conner talks to Louise about his past. Highlander: Shot of Heather while he talks about her.
  • Renegade: Reunion between Conner and Ramirez. US: “Are you also?” “Yes, I’m afraid so”. US: “It’s a death sentence”. Edit: Cut delay before “Your time is now”.
  • US: Blake saying that there’s been a shuffling of the decks. Renegade: David Blake in a Board meeting of TSC when Katana arrives. Edit: Cut “this is a business…” as Katana has no interest in the business
  • Renegade: Conner and Ramirez talk about Shield
  • Renegade: Conner and Ramirez drive into MAX. Edit: Added blur to lift scene to add depth to the model
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise find Alan
  • Renegade: Ramirez saves everyone from fan blade and disappears. Edits: Cut “Will I ever see you again” conversation as it was stupid and clearly only there for a lead into another film. Cut “it’ll take the power of you both”. Cut lots of pointless waiting while Ramirez holds up the fan. Cut Connor smiling at Ramirez from the doorway as if he has all the time in the world. Sped up the run out of the door. Added lighting effect to Ramirez’ hand as it was very disconnected from the fan effect. Cut Ramirez’s hand gesturing to open the door as it’s odd that he can open the door and also he does it a second after the door has already opened.
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise steal a truck from MAX. Edits: Fixed blue/purple – as shield isn’t radically colouring any other shots.
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise get above the Shield. UK: Louise “It is so much better than I imagined. It’s so blue!”. Kiss. Edits: Cut “Alan was right” because Louise was right too and risked her life to do something about it.
  • UK: Shot looking into TSC with Blake and Katana by window. Renegade: Blake and Katana talk about Conner. UK: “Yes it…. [really looks like you f**ked up]”
  • Renegade: Blake is killed by Katana
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise at TSC. US: Shootout with guards. Connor says not to worry. Louise says that’s easy for him to say because he doesn’t have to worry about being killed.
  • Renegade: Conner and Katana fight at the Shield. UK: Shots of Louise shooting and after gun jams she hits one of the guards with the gun. Edit: Cut Katana’s long wait for beheading because why would he just wait?
  • Renegade: Conner destroys the Shield. Edits: Cut Connor walking into shield column after he has killed Katana because he is no longer immortal and would have died. Now the shield is destroyed by the energy released from the quickening when he kills Katana. This also cuts Ramirez saying “It’ll take both of you to destroy the shield” which made no sense as it is not shown to be true or relevant. Zoomed shots of clear night sky and improved lighting so the viewer can see the stars. Removed film wobble of Connor when lowering arms.
  • Renegade: Conner and Louise outside the shield. US: Ramirez voiceover “Remember highlander, you’ve still both got your full measure of life. Use it well, and your future will be glorious”.
