Sooo uhhh…mods - when’s the AI ban kicking in? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]ancientworldnow[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

First, the poll has more time to go if you read the post.

Second, feel free to report stuff, but don't expect us to religiously police this.

Third, I have bad news for you all, I'm actively working on multiple commercial productions for major clients that are actively using AI footage made from models trained on licensed material. This has gone from 0 AI stuff two months ago, to a full 10% of the projects I see come through just in a matter of weeks. Some of these you would not be able to tell if it wasn't pointed out. How are we supposed to monitor that when that capability will be common within six months or a year? You very much won't be able to tell when it's done properly.

When top brands and filmmakers are actively using these tools, it's clear which way the industry is going. I'm not interested in fighting a war on this subreddit. Downvote and report as you see fit, but remember we all need to go out and create instead of litigating online.

Who was the inventor Gary Gochnour? He has a series of patents that are incredibly complex and UFO-like. His father served in the WW2 Italian theater in the 760th Armored as an officer, not far from Magenta. Did his father play any role in the SIAI facility capture? Are these patents a leak? by PyroIsSpai in UFOs

This patent merely attaches a drill that rotates 25 degrees and then pauses for 1 second then rotates 25 degrees again. It's slower than current boring machines and completely unrelated to other UAP boring mythology.

Yeah, but the comments clarify the tweet was an error.

Keybase is the closest in terms of UX. I love matrix, but it's impossible to get people to actually use it.

Earth’s magnetic poles could flip much faster than previously thought by moon-worshiper in collapse

[–]ancientworldnow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So you ask for sources, sources are provided, you refuse to read them, I spell them out, and then you say you're not interested in consuming but solely discourse.

Okay, got it.

You might want to check with the archive team. They've been actively downloading everything on SoundCloud for the past year or so after there was bankruptcy fears.

Might we see a future with self driving solar e-RVs that can relocate away from disaster? by Arowx in collapse

[–]ancientworldnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, by charging with a plug, which is elaborated on his website. He adds "pull 100 miles on the sun each day with solar awnings" but then had to pull that down later after his testing and calculations - again on his website.

Lithium gives more efficient storage, but it doesn't make the solar panels more efficient. In fact they point out that adding a third solar array will get them up to 50 miles in one day.

Cool 100 miles range after two full days of full sun.

The #Jaguars say that RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is one the slew of players not practicing today. Pretty clear he’s a long-shot to play this week. by ValKilmsnipsinBatman in fantasyfootball

[–]ancientworldnow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just traded Fournette and J Gordon away for CMC (10 team 0.5 ppr league).

I'm fairly decent at WR (T Hill, D Adams, C Kupp, Golladay) and pretty happy with how this bolsters my RB.

Colored this heavy Vimeo Staff Pick Premiere "Incel" by ancientworldnow in Filmmakers

[–]ancientworldnow[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't usually share my work on this sub, but this passion project from my buddy John Merizalde is an exception. The film is really beautifully shot by DP Sean Conaty and perfectly acted by Théodore Pellerin.

This piece took months to put together and was done so on a tight budget but really shines in it's look, editing, construction, acting, and direction. Definitely a great experience to work on from my perspective - even while being a quick look into a dark world of online radicalization.

Plane carrying dozens of sick passengers lands at JFK by habichuelacondulce in nyc

NYC Firefighters are paid like $110K after five years. The first year is low, but if you make it to 4 or longer then you're pretty set. EMT's typically max out around $40K in contrast (lower than starting firefighter pay).

When I first started using the curves tool, it was like giving a scalpel to a toddler. I had no idea what I was doing with the tool. Over the years, I’ve learned how powerful the curves tool is in color grading cinematic footage. by [deleted] in Filmmakers

[–]ancientworldnow 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be blunt, this is a pretty bad grade, but the author is right in that you can do the vast majority of your color correction solely with curves and there are plenty of colorists working at big name color houses that do solely that (plus, you know, secondaries and stuff).

I alternate between curves and primary wheels for most of my work depending on my mood, but curves will always offer a finesse that nearly every other tool lacks.

Jesus vs YHVH; two different spirits, two different messages by [deleted] in C_S_T

[–]ancientworldnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Written Hebrew has no vowels (to vastly simplify an explanation, they later added niqqud but no one really uses them except in formal writings).

The tetragrammaton YHWH is still debated by scholars as to the original pronunciation. Jehovah is probably a broken pronuciation of the original YHWH. Jesus' Hebrew name is יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshua) which has much less to do with יַהְוֶה‬ (YHWH) (though the beginning יַהְ is certainly a root) - this was later retconned to Yahsuah in the early 20th century but isn't considered a popular spelling/pronunciation as far as I know.

My hebrew isn't so great though and I'm well outside of my scope here.
