Reverse-engineering of locked-down chinese ARM-SoC game and tv hardware.

I am not arguing it will be profitable. It almost certainly won’t be, but AI will still be here and very probably integrated deeply in all of our lives in ways all of us can’t comprehend today.

In my opinion there is no escape from it, so we need to either adapt or die while shouting at the cloud.

I just hope the trend develops that we can self-host models for faesible prices and avoid reliance on large corporations, as that is the actual problem, not the AI itself, which is only a tool which can be used correctly or incorrectly.

No need for insults.

I suppose only time will tell, let’s meet back here in a year and evaluate how the world has changed. I’ve set an alarm in my calender.

This is a mix of manual work in Krita AND ai using Codex. If the AI hadn’t had a tonne of manual context, which I spent about 40 minutes manually preparing, it would be slop, yes, I agree.

However, AI is a tool which is not going away. If you use it as such, it can be useful, but the quality of what it produces is proportional to what you feed it. Bullshit in -> Bullshit out, but a general “duhur ai bad”-knee jerk reaction is no longer valid in all cases (it was up to about last year though!)

Made with Krita, Codex with lots and lots of reference images, and with a lot of swearing.

Oh that makes sense. Thank you. I am happpy too that he accidentally mic’d himself up in the morning so we could hear him having his totally real reaction to the prank he didn’t know about.

Does anyone else find the 5 camera-angles detract from the realness of the video?

I mean, yeah, no TV is real, but this pretending that it is a real situation in this style of video irritates me in a way I cannot describe.

Am I being too picky? I don’t know.

I am from the UK, my wife from Germany. My daughter was born in Germany and has dual-citizenship automatically via me as her father.

She was born before Brexit and only has a German passport as it was always possible to travel via free-movement and then after Brexit without issue by using the digital visa to the UK.

The new rules now apply to her, meaning we had to get a million things exensively translated, stamped, signed and sent off to the UK and apply for an official passport in order to not get slapped with a big fine, or worse, stranded each time she travels.

For us, it was not a non-issue and is unnecessary red-tape, and I have a feeling it is only done to artificially keep some migration figures down.

Whatever. Done now. /rant

I am guessing the width and height of the video file are quite large. If you plop it down to a size suitable for gif, say maybe 400px width, you’ll see a massive drop in filesize.

Ok. I’ll start:

1. She has some cracking norks.

Watching all of your heroes die.

We usually just limit the number of friends we invite to match the number of cups we own.

For example, I don’t own any cups.

Turning off ipv6 is always the answer.

You’re?

Oh man. Missed opportunity! I’ll do that on my next mug!

He was always very forgetful, Mr. Bourne… and well spotted! 😉

Looks like he didn’t eat his vege-tab-les.

For the hard of thinking- this is a joke. RIP Bobby.
