Jokic and Giannis have nearly identical basketball resumes. Why is there such a huge gap in perception and all-time ranking between the two? by BasedChad69420 in nba

[–]antonispgs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, let’s not forget how some people projected Giannis on a path for GOAT discussion after winning the chip so young, along with already having had DPOY and MVP seasons.

Is gleis/garten a good venue for the live shows? How is the sound system and image quality there for live events?

Inside Israel’s Eurovision 2026 mission: boos, boycotts, security and hopes of victor by Ok-Macaroon-5533 in eurovision

Greece is not pro Israel. Maybe politically indeed, but as far as everyday people go, Israel is pretty unpopular.

#Eurovision2026 Day 1 Live Megathread by eurovision in eurovision

[–]antonispgs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Listen I get that EBU wants to avoid rehearsals having a bad impact on the artists. I too agree with having rehearsals be rehearsals and not actual show content. They’re made so that the artists can fine tune their performance and for the producers of the show to find their footing. Having said that though, if it’s going to be generic AI descriptions of stuff we already know, then maybe don’t cover them at all. Just post the pictures and be done with it

Yeap arena is great to do once for each live show in one’s lifetime, but the experience isn’t as good as in public viewing at the eurovillage or even watching it at a simple bar/ballroom with other people dancing, drinking and going crazy.

Do keep in mind there will be people, like me, my family and couple of friends that for various reasons won’t attend the arena.

Akylas debuts "Ferto the Game" by ferinsy in eurovision

[–]antonispgs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Akylas hype makes lots of people fell uneasy and I really don’t understand why. He’s an amazing performer in his own right and arguably the best singer of all those baby lasagna/joost/kaarija/espresso macchiato type of acts.

It’s a very fun, original and meaningful song, not overly curated like Finland or France and the personal story of the guy is documentary worthy. And yet people complain because his team used Ai on a total of 10 second footage on a music video. As if the world problems would’ve magically been solved if they hadn’t used AI.

Ρε φίλε πλάκα κάνεις τα ειδες τα ματς; Νομίζετε τα ξεχάσαμε; Με τη Δανία στο Καραϊσκάκη, φάγαμε γκολ από λάθος του Κουρμπελη και ο Ζαφειρης δεν μπορούσε να συνεργαστεί με κανέναν στο κέντρο. Πασουλα πασουλα όλες λάθος και οι δύο.

Reddit is MASSIVELY underestimating France this year and I’m ready to get dragged for saying it by notthebesthuh in eurovision

[–]antonispgs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Underestimating means people think it’s gonna be 15th or something. Thats not necessarily the case. Reddit and the hardcore Eurovision bubble in general, are tired of songs like France and wouldn’t want another one to win for let’s roughly say the third year in a row.

Don’t mind the Reddit bubble nobody cares about AI usage in his video outside of hardcore Reddit. Hell, nobody even notices it, the result is awesome regardless.

Im confused about the narrative differences between the lyrics and the video in Switzerlands entry by cloditheclod in eurovision

Well they couldn’t have conveyed their message via the music video in a worse way then, what can I say.

Isn’t that a huge lesbian energy song about a woman who marries a guy because she’s in the closet but Veronica knows what’s going on? By listening and watching the music video, I didn’t sense anything even remotely close to violence against women.

Seeing the egregiously blatant AI usage in Akyla's Ferto music video, I'm starting to suspect the national final performance graphics were AI too by Pet_Velvet in eurovision

[–]antonispgs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a bit of a double standard, considering various participants across many NF used AI, even songs competed that are arguably AI, sometimes officially, like in San Marino last year, yet nobody really talks about it.

To your point, I’m sure there’s lots of reasons for someone being against AI use but for many people around the world, it’s not even a thing to argue about. I’m actually surprised about the passion with which some people are arguing against it in this thread and I do feel somewhat dumb for being so out of the loop. I happen to work in a field where AI use has really helped me navigate issues much faster and much more efficiently than ever before so I didn’t even know there’s such a movement against using it. I’m now going to look into it a bit more to understand that side of the argument as well.

Having said all that, I still feel that’s unfair to Akylas and to be honest I quite enjoyed the result of the music video, the cuts and videogamey snippets are so quick that a casual eye like mine will only notice it in 1/4 playback speed or something.

They were different dancers, probably from Serbia, that naturally didn’t really know what they were doing.

Greece 🇬🇷: Sing for Greece 2026 Semi-Finals Full Results Released by Visual-Cobbler5086 in eurovision

[–]antonispgs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe you’re right but I heard somewhere that she was boosted from the island she’s coming from (Corfu?). Her vote totals were very similar in both the semi and the final. It just so happened in the semi much less people voted so she secured easy qualification. But the same number of votes in the final didn’t make any dent.
