i can totally understand why a lot of people are jumping on the ai ghibli trend and i am not so far gone as to be on the total ai death side of history (i routinely use machine learning tools to help myself with automating boring stuff) but idk man all of this still feels weird for me

i am not even saying it in the “i feel like painters when photography was invented” kind of way but more in the “yeah we have a machine that spits out something that looks like art but it’s sad that it is inevitably limited by the defined set of data it is trained on with dubious authorisation and every single output basically looks the same”

i honestly think i will feel different about “ai art” when and if we are going to have agi and get to the point where machines that, at the level of humans, are going to effectively make art to express themselves and how they experience life

but right now this feels like idk squeezing content out of a tube, and it can work sometimes but it’s still weird for me

oh my god this is so beautiful

10€ is cheaper than an OEM bezel for an old thinkpad on aliexpress how are they doing it so cheap this is insane

THE GREEN ONE LOOKS EVEN BETTER

gpt 4o image generation is impressive until you ask to generate something that 3 people including myself remember and then you can physically see it struggle to come up with anything at all with its limited (by nature, i am not even blaming openai for this) training data about the topic lol

finally got a chance to watch the new contrapoints video and it's a banger

however i do now also feel the urge to seek old conspiracy theory vhs tapes because god knows what insane shit'll be on them

new video coming out on monday

think about the pisight video but with a bigger scope and with everything 100% designed by me this time around (which means a LOT of mess on the inside but everything pretty much clean on the outside, just like me)

we are also cooking up some other really cool shit here at the fami headquarters potentially coming up in the next months so yeah stay tuned

watched the behind the scenes footage for houdini by eminem and i will be honest: the guy looks insanely good for 52

hey so my goat JarHead389 just let me know about THIS happening right now

LOGITECH IS KILLING THE LEGACY HARMONY REMOTES

if you want to help, he is spearheading an effort to both jailbreak the remotes and unencrypt the remote codes to turn them into standard ir codes, so that we could maybe make our own huge code database, with blackjack and hookers (or maybe without those but indeed our own open database indeed)

it's still coming out today, just had some issues processing lol should be up within 1h

NEW VIDEO OUT! where i build a fire hazard of sorts

MINOR TYPO SPOTTED NOOOO

let's just lampshade it ok the entire vibe of the project is janky and i even mistakingly said "half a gigabyte" instead of "half a terabyte"

that's how you know this is made by the great human stupidity and not outsourced to ai

also:

apparently the mighty mouse does have a right click but it's a capacitive sensor activating it and i had no idea how to use it

apologies 2005 apple i wasn't familiar with your game

GOATED SPY KIDS QUOTE

i am surprised by the fact that instead of engineers being mad about my rats' nest in my imac video's comments most of them just basically told me "heh you can fix that with hot glue and make it more solid" or at most "just cut the cables and solder them back to make them shorter"

so i guess we all embrace the jank after all

i am extremely hyped about the framework 12 mainly because it genuinely seems like the only laptop that can fill in the shoes of the legendary thinkpad x220/x230t

it's also super colorful so that automatically gives it many points sorry not sorry

after many minutes of consideration i think that another night by real mccoy is the purest eurodance song, and i don't mean the best or most interesting one i just think that if you listen to it once you go like "yup. this is eurodance. this is it folks."
