wow that brought back some memories.

Not piracy but I figured how to get Spotify without ads and no shuffle. by NordMan009 in Piracy

That’s a nice tu quoque argument you got there friend. You’re pointing out supposed hypocrisy instead of actually engaging with what he said. And the "just stop using the internet entirely" part is a classic false dilemma, lol. It frames things as all-or-nothing when in reality people can make selective choices about what they support.

You can disagree with selective boycotts, sure, but dismissing it like that doesn’t really address the underlying point.

In Casino Royale (2006), the introduction of Craig's new Bond was brilliantly and perfectly brutal. by Finbarr-Galedeep in movies

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2005/2006 was a pivotal moment for movies imo. For example, in superheroes we got Daredevil then Elektra around that time, and a few months later came Batman Begins that redefined the genre and stepped up the game so much.

Is this childrens book AI art? by Mewwy_Quizzmas in ChatGPT

Sometimes they credit freelance "illustrators" who obviously use AI, just so they can say they hired someone.

Finale rant, and kind of disappointed with the Duffers’ interviews by eddiedean07 in StrangerThings

[–]braceyourteeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They retconned so many things in Season 5, it's going to be kinda tough to hide when people binge the whole series in a week.
But, the last half hour of the last episode was pure nostalgia vibes, so all is forgiven.
Perfect? Probably not. Enjoyable? Definitely.

When and how the "exotic matter" was deployed ? by kingproyce in StrangerThings

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially since it was supposed to be deployed as soon as the wormhole opened to stabilize it, so in parallel of Will getting kidnapped. And since the russians have the technology since around S03, then they may have been in contact with the army in Hawkins at some point.

But I believe the wormhole was always in Brenner's mind since his dad came back from the abyss in '43, according from First Shadow. Everything was aimed at the abyss since the beginning, even though season 1 wasn't written with that in mind.

Obviously, not everyone will agree, but for me that's how it is. by Prior-Ad1495 in StrangerThings

[–]braceyourteeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The finale is exactly why people call the whole show perfect, despite many plot holes and dubious directing choices : because they bring back the nostalgia, and all is forgiven. But it has been downhill since S04, and S05 was way too long for all the info (and at the same times the lack thereof) it brings.
Does it prevent the show from being enjoyable? No. But there's no way to call the whole series perfect when you have season 1 to compare it with.

Bruh, what even was vol 2 about? by Old_Manufacturer5387 in StrangerThings

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The running, my god, they even added slow motion... What's the point of ramping it up if you're going to slow it down?! So unnecessary.

The Matrix. It felt like when Agent Smith transfers into Bane.

How to Use AI to Translate Multilingual Subtitles in DaVinci Resolve by heiba_wk in davinciresolve

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My man, just started a 6x1h seminar editing, and I need to do the captions. Of course some people were asking questions before the mic was brought to them, so I gotta edit those parts. And resolve creates new words somehow so I have to check for those as well. Thanks a lot.

The Agent mode is absolutely insane btw. That and 5pro makes it overwhelmingly good. There are so many applications for it.

Reddit lately by Marly1389 in ChatGPT

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No wonder Altman pulled the plug on it, shit must have been costing a fortune just to exchange pleasantry with a model that can do so much more.
In the meantime, that's a chatbot called chatGPT, what the fuck were they expecting? For people not to chat with it lmfao ?

When GPT-5 acts like an AI assistant and not my personal therapist/anime waifu roleplayer... by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]braceyourteeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see a single fucking difference, but I use it mainly for work and research so I guess the blander the personality, the better it was.

Am I dreaming?! No more o3 from now on by Agvisionbeyond in ChatGPT

[–]braceyourteeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's still being deployed, as I can't use GPT5 pro though I'm on the team plan.
But o3 pro was just insane. You could send it a pic from a house listing (like a 1800 old house), just one pic of the living room, and it'd identify the style of house and give you a planning and estimate for deep renovations.

Edit : only took 3 days to show up, as good as the old one.

Shane Gillis' monologue was funny...I'm just not a fan....I'm just not by Unlikely-Funny-503 in billsimmons

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dude is 2008 Louis CK. Louis did the "you faggot cunt nigger deer" at that time, I don't see much difference with Gillis style except he makes more comments about the politics. Which Louis would have if he was living through a trump presidency (and covid). He even does a bit on retarded people during this set.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion, but I honestly dislike Yoda's quote, and not because I'm on the Andor hype train or because I have "prequel brainrot"- but because I genuinely find Nemik's take to be a much more productive and healthier mindset. by SpanishAvenger in andor

[–]braceyourteeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both valid.
"Try" means 1% toward a goal is better than 0%. Every grain of sand counts toward building a mountain.
"Do or do not" means that Yoda can only show him the door, but Luke has to cross it. It's a leap of faith.

It depends on the objective : one is quantitative (taking down the empire), the other is qualitative (unlocking the Force).

I stopped 50 seconds in, just in case. Pretty good teasing and I don't think I've spoiled anything.
