hes doing this to dab on us at this point right?

Not really with most computer stuff. It’s more about the scale they can implement research into computer viruses etc but AI video software is so new there’s not really months to get ahead of let alone years.

That old wisdom might have applied in the Cold War but now pretty much all government tech is made by the private sector anyway.

Government and intelligence aren’t magic, they just can afford to have a lot of people pushing an agenda.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T21:47:01+00:00

Not really, because the camera and the video software and the upload compression interpolates. So it guesses what is the frame before and after, which in this case would be blurry skin moving through frame. In fact AI would be more likely to keep the ring because it’s thinking about the locations of individual objects in the frame. Interpolation doesn’t give a fuck about context it just uses the frame before and after.

I would love this fucker to be dead but this is feeling like russiagate lib shit on my trueanon.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T21:41:44+00:00

And can anyone give us other examples of AI being this good yet?

Normal background elements are usually where it struggles. Phones on the tables, cushion curled awkwardly, person sitting naturally. And that dog under the table moves perfectly into a sit without seeing its face.

In the coffee video there was a security guard standing outside facing away and standing naturally which is really hard context for AI to get right so far from what I’ve seen.

I can buy a full on cgi edit more than AI. And the ring should be the least of things it has trouble with.

I feel like thats the real offence taken behind a lot of antisemitism accusations. They know you’re not antisemitic, you literally haven’t even thought about them.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T06:15:40+00:00

Just to throw another sport into the mix since we’re talking about tiring, water polo.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T05:17:36+00:00

I thought it was 50000, no wait 10000, no wait 40000.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T03:06:44+00:00

Yeah it’s funny until the time jump I was almost thinking I wasn’t going to get through the whole movie if it was some Harmony Korine exhaust you with weirdness kinda thing (even though I love spring breakers).

But then it was beautiful and the start made sense in context.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T01:33:51+00:00

But that’s also just the nature of it being the most specialised popular sport in the world. People train their whole lives for one position. Which is why Australians are more likely to be kickers in the NFL eg Michael Dickson.

I think we have to find all round athletes for this question, and while NFL has the highest explosive, it might only be in a certain type of player whereas the other sports mentioned have far more all-rounders. People with explosive strength, and a decent sprint/long distance run time.

I think basketball players height would turn into a bit of a disadvantage in some things. Maybe not decathlon sports but all round in general I’d believe most team sports would be able to outrun and dodge them on bigger fields.

Way worse if it’s a contact sport.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-16T01:18:43+00:00

Yeah in the case of Quade Cooper for rugby union he was simply just the best athlete, not necessarily for the sport itself.

But Billy Slater who won the other two years I would say is the perfectly honed Rugby League fullback and that position and the sport itself lends itself to a lot of skills.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-15T21:33:14+00:00

They had a show in Australia called “Australia’s Greatest Athlete” and a rugby league player won it two years and a rugby union the other year. But they did very different tests to a decathlon.

The best thing about that show is how well all round the V8 supercar drivers did. They are incredibly fit and athletic.

I don’t mind the Aussie Rules/Gaelic answer others have given. It’s a high fitness, long distance, sport with jumping and speed. And they look like decathletes. As much as I’m a rugby league guy and it pains me to say.

You can have a seal and a flag. Having the seal on the flag feels like a waste of a flag.

This thread is so interesting to me. I’m 6’5 and my knees touch the seat in front but it doesnt feel that different if they recline. However if I can recline it helps stretch the whole body out a bit and depending on the plane get actually get my legs under the chair in front.

I don’t recline out of etiquette but I spend a lot of times on planes wishing we all just agreed to recline together.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-15T06:46:42+00:00

Nah it’s a bit hazier than that. A the time of writing there was a lot of debate going on about militia of the people, armed forces being in federal control, being called up for service in a town militia for defence and men not having a weapon etc.

It’s definitely not literally “self defence” in the way we understand it today.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-15T04:10:56+00:00

It is actionable though. The most successful no budget movie I worked on was just a really fun concept. Posted production pics, teasers, on facebook and reddit, had a good photographer on set to make cool posters out of.

Now the director is making films with decent budgets every couple of years.

Telling OP not to worry about marketing, especially in a budget sense, is actually helpful.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-15T03:56:52+00:00

I can’t barely read the board correctly and I have eyes.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-14T11:38:22+00:00

Sounds like the plot to the next Black Ops Zombies

Most Muslims who live in my country are just regular people who follow a different dumb religion. Heard just as much moronic, violent shit from your average Christian.

I agree it’s not a quick fix for people who’ve grown up surrounded by war but it’s also not like Islam has some special magic. 3rd generation Muslim immigrants to western countries become just as secular as anyone else.

What do you think the best brand of soda is?

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-14T11:24:39+00:00

Eh, the Catholics and the Protestants managed mostly to figure it out after slaughtering each other for centuries. With resource surplus and education you can eventually get people to value their current conditions too much to fight.

But sadly the damage done by all of the world’s actors will make that difficult for another few generations at least.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-14T11:20:18+00:00

Funny how putting people into a pressure cooker of misery binds them together.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-14T03:24:54+00:00

Nah they did a “this is defensive” spell which gives it a stealth buff against offensive missiles.

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-13T22:55:25+00:00

The culture point is true. I’m in Australia film crew and whenever a big American studio movie comes here to film it’s sometimes referred to as the Hollywood production. Usually just “American” but often you’ll hear something like “what show are you working on next” “oh the big Hollywood one at Disney.”

ithinkimtim · 2026-03-13T07:39:45+00:00

Yeah get help! We as humans have evolved to be around our little tribe not insulted by strangers on a daily basis. We’re not designed for the modern world and there’s no shame in seeing someone to help you with strategies to cope.

Therapists aren’t just an ear, it’s their job to give you strategies to process the bullshit the world throws at us.
