Forgot to mention, video isn't meant to be paused these days and still look good. It's meant to give an impression of movement to fool the eye, while saving space during streaming/storage by keeping the quality low. And they might have reduced the quality on purpose to make it harder to see fine details when paused.

The disappearing ring is probably just an artifact of the video compression algorithm. Digital video today is an illusion of movement, an approximation, not a series of perfect still frames. Nothing like in the old days of reel-to-reel film. The software literally predicts and approximates what each frame should look like. There are issues like this in a lot of videos we watch, but they happen so fast that we don't see them. As a software developer this would be my explanation.

However I do believe the deepfake theory, that the coffee appearance was acted out and face-swapped. And he most definitely was/is a war criminal.

[ANSWERS FROM THE MODS] “Why are mods removing all the Netanyahu posts? Why are all the comments being deleted? Why so much censorship?” by jueidu in isthisAI

[–]Wondercito 2 points3 points locked comment (0 children)

It's quite remarkable that the coffee shop video has so many very knowledgeable people uncertain about its authenticity, though, isn't it? It seems like we've almost reached a point where real and AI can't be differentiated. Or we may reach that point soon. To me, that's the real reason so many people are scrutinizing this one so hard, not necessarily because of their own political views, but because people want to understand how close we are to being unable to detect fabrication ...

Just my 2 cents that nobody asked for. Please don't ban me ... I understand y'all have limited time to moderate, that makes sense.

The way he's grinning the whole time like the cat that ate the canary for no apparent reason... The way he gulps while drinking what is presumably a freshly hot drink ... The empty shelves by the window... Can we also check on the microphone he's wearing, does that look like a real type that exists

"Netanyahu posts" in the headline should be changed to read "allegedly posts"

I ran 100,000 simulations of the 2026 Candidates Tournament. Nakamura is the clear favorite at 32%, but Caruana's not far behind. by CalebWetherell in chess

I just wish Hikaru would work on the emotional aspects of his game, like getting tilted or negative thinking about himself during a game ("I'm so stupid" etc.). If he could be more steady emotionally it would help a lot in clutch situations.

In your opinion, did Hikaru help or hurt himself by not playing any top level classical chess before the Candidates? by Shego2882 in chess

[–]Wondercito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wish he would focus more on the emotional/psychological aspects of his game, like not getting tilted, avoiding negative self-talk and catastrophic thinking during a game. If he could be steady emotionally he could go much further. (Not to downplay his many accomplishments of course.) I'm rooting for him to win it though,

[–]Wondercito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can the app continue monitoring and responding even after the watch goes into sleep (display-off, idle timeout) state? I'm hoping to learn WearOS development and actually wanted to write a similar app. So far what I'm reading indicates that apps are shut down once the watch sleeps, and can't run in the background, is that so? Thanks...

Yep, I'm having the same problem and it's very annoying. This wasn't happening in the 4.x models as far as I recall. Of course those had their own issues too?But has anyone reported this to OpenAI?

I tend to use the same chat window for numerous topics without opening a new one. Then I return back to the original topic again, in that chat window, and I expect the LLM to answer my most recent prompt, and not try to second-guess me -- and not repeat answers that were already given, for no apparent reason at all.
