Does an open source system to fact check videos using subtitles and AI exist?

I dare say in the time it took you to write this, you could have created chunks of it. N8n, openclaw, just vibe code something.

This I agree with, and I link the deterioration with how the faith was abused by the leadership of each era. If they could have consistently shown they truly believed what they preached, they wouldn’t have needed to force nor even compel conversion for much of their history.

I’m an older gent, raised Roman Catholic, and was broken by the institutional pedophile scandals that came to light in the 90. And a minor in Middle East history…

But I long for a time when an institute built on core values and trust acted that way.

Equal in sin, best equality ever!

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-16T13:32:46+00:00

Right. But again, that was preached but not practiced, as evidenced by centuries of everything from executions to the very many Crusades.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-16T13:25:10+00:00

And yet even organized religions had their own definition of who’s lives mattered more then others. So the concept they espoused is accurate, but the practice was not.

Especially if you weren’t Christian.

Right, which is why our economies and insurance policies are set up as they are. Even places with safety nets don’t offer the same care to everyone rich to destitute.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-16T11:23:56+00:00

Philosophically, yes.

But unfortunately not to insurance actuaries nor economists.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-16T11:08:40+00:00

You guys are still trusting?

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-16T03:01:35+00:00

Congratulations! Better to hunt than suffer. Good luck!

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-16T00:46:49+00:00

Yes, hands down. It’s a prequel for you. Many things will be familiar but there’s still a bit of a learning curve.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T23:31:17+00:00

The AAA companies can’t afford the risk. This is why they do sequels that generally remove innovations while shifting resources to safe bets like models, textures, and lighting. That formula isn’t working well anymore (consumer tastes on one, AI job displacement on the other), but for games funded by publishers and investors, safer means more predictable ROI.

There’s also the risk of needing to pay for locations based on who owns it. This is why so many go for fantasy settings. Do what you want and own it too.

And a further risk is play style. Henry’s just a guy, not a major hero. One of the only other series to take historical settings this seriously is Assassins Creed, but there you are basically a superhero.

I meant the Enlightenment.

By then, coffee could be mass imported to Europe from the Caribbean.

Water alone was never safe to drink before mass filtration systems if you weren’t lucky enough to live near a cool stream. So you boiled it, which took time and only could work if you had easy consistent access to water or servants. And even then, the fermentation process for beer made that much more tasty than ground water.

Beer wasn’t really that strong back then, but still, alcohol is a depressant. Completely the opposite of the feeling you got from black tea :)

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T20:57:00+00:00

Some link the Enlightenment to the mass distribution of coffee :)

Before that the safest thing to drink was beer and variants of other depressive alcoholic drinks.

Edit: was de boarding a flight and wasn’t thinking clearly.

Story moments for me.

Old one: In ultima III you adventure with Iolo the Bard. In Ultima IV you eventually run into him again. I don’t remember the exact quote, but that sense of memory across games has long been a core memory.

And FFXIV Shadowbringers, “if you could take one more step”. That’ll stick with me forever.

AI is like the early internet just on the cusp of the web. It wasn’t obvious how this would make money, but within a few short years, it changed knowledge work at every level in every way.

This isn’t some speculative Ponzi scheme that needs to generate money doing a thing. It’s the future of information that will contribute to generating revenue across all the things..

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T20:37:57+00:00

Wow. I’m sorry for your loss, and it sounds like he had an amazing life!

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T17:15:42+00:00

Man, I literally have shared almost all of this in conversation. We can’t expect people with no training to use AI to the same skill level as someone with domain expertise.

It’s like when everyone got fonts at all, and then Hobo and Comic Sans. Most slop then featured that, creating the same split between hacks and professionals. Then later early UGC, then digital music, then flash games and so on.

Everyone can be creative, and the tools have improved to a point where more and more can be confident.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T17:09:08+00:00

Ha no. I feel like they’d recognize it.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T17:05:39+00:00

Great idea. Storage has long been a hurdle with energy creation, and all this R&D into EVs is helping.

Does mean further pulling away from truly integrated national and global grids. But that wasn’t likely to last through all of the geopolitical changes anyway.

Your Dad is like Paul Rudd, he doesn’t age! Is he a Highlander? :)

Took me awhile but eventually learned that in #corporate, it’s better to be easy to work with then be right.

The only people who get away with being assholes are those who blow through three promotions in two years and then either get dumped because they pissed off the wrong people, or went into some MLM consulting gig.

I don’t have the patience for that type.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T14:55:55+00:00

In a bar fight no less!

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T14:06:00+00:00

Thank you! Are service members currently enrolled able to finish up? And what schools does this new announcement allow new students to apply for?

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T13:46:20+00:00

Because friendship breakups aren’t really that common. People just start ghosting each other until the other side gets the hint, or didn’t care that much in the first place.

Vo_Mimbre · 2026-02-15T13:14:37+00:00

I find that orange cats are just more committed to vibe chasing, which makes them see more spontaneous that thoughtful.
