… as opposed to what?

“Stormfront up in arms over moderator being a Nazi.”

Airlock.

Lucille: “I don’t care for Tetris.bas.”

Plug in any tiny computer with HDMI out.

The TV is a display. You want anything generating images separate, in case you find it disagreeable, and want to obliterate it with a ball peen hammer.

Don’t give your TV the wifi password.

Software path-tracing has been on my bucket list, mostly to test a concept: physically based instant radiosity. If an eye-ray goes camera, A, B, C, then the light C->B forms an anisotropic point source. The material at B scatters light from C directly into onscreen geometry. This allows cheating akin to photon mapping, where you assume nearby pixels are also visible to B. Low-frequency lighting should look decent at much less than one sample per pixel.

I made an FPS on NES.

It doesn’t use any mappers or added chips. There’s quicksaves, a level editor. jump-in two-player co-op, and SNES mouse support.

I have not been arsed to add music.

So if I searched “AI-generated” and “crossover” on a Rule 34 site, it’s just Superman and Marge Simpson. Right? Only the super popular characters that any model can pull off out-of-the-box. Due to totally insurmountable obstacles, there’s no way I’m gonna find Loona from Helluva Boss doing the weird stuff with Sans Undertale.

… huh, that combo doesn’t actually exist. Shame, it sounded hilarious. There’s one of Loona and Toriel, though, with… Katia fucking Managan? Yeah come on, if some quest-thread webcomic character can show up at an orgy that’s not just herself, I think we can say loras work fine for two people.

Text to anything is the least version. You can perform a line yourself, out loud, with your human mouth, and then the model will make that sound like the voice you want.

Diffusion turns whatever you have into whatever you describe. It’s powerful enough to work on noise. If you want even that to be consistent, just use the same noise, with a fixed seed. Otherwise - put in literally any more effort than asking nicely.

So you can’t have 2 people in the video.

… have y’all genuinely avoided seeing anything generated since 2022? Even the text-to-whatever models can handle “left guy” versus “right guy.”

At this stage, it’s literally easier to learn real film editing than it is to prompt engineer 1 minute of continuous footage.

A clip I saw ages ago showed a guy walking through his backyard holding a cardboard tube like a rifle, and then the result of presumably typing ‘monkey soldier walking through rainforest’ was Wish.com Planet Of The Apes. But: same camera motions, same body language. This tech is CGI for dummies. You don’t have to engineer shit, when you can nail down the animatic with amateurs. Or dolls.

You could apply this shot-by-shot to Who Killed Captain Alex, and it would look better than any Steven Seagal movie.

Establishing that they need permission. Which is a massive own-goal from OpenAI.

Aaand that’s why this tech was always going to cannibalize Hollywood. Congratulations, studios! You’ve disrupted yourselves!

If they arrest him again, arrest whoever did it.

Apply consequences.

As if that’s not the goal.

“If Herr Hitler isn’t careful, this may lead to conflict with Poland!”

There are no noncitizen voters. Essentially zero. This was always about manipulating the election to favor the fascists implementing it, and I’m so fucking tired of any framing which pretends that’s not nakedly obvious.

(since it’s plain text on the website)

Yeesh. Fair enough, then.

The worst crime here is that typesetting.

This one got a genuine laugh.

More importantly: would paper make a difference?
