Another feature length AI production that came out of China, this time in the visual style of Harry Potter: Link to video Can still recognize that it’s AI generated, but in more subtle ways. In scenes with heightened emotions, the AI frequently errs on generating facial expressions that are overly dramatic (if human actors do it, we’d call it “over the top”). But gone are the scene-to-scene or camera angle-to-camera angle inconsistencies that used to be fairly frequently noticeable in previous (like, two months ago) AI productions.

I thought this thread was going to be releasing the audio of it, even though it was allegedly completely destroyed.

My favorite reviewer thought it was a comfort blanket, though a flawed one. Link to video The other reviews I've heard or read are not that impressed.

I guess I will always have the memories of the peaches we picked at the u-pick in California. It was mid to late season and we were naughty and broke the rules because the most perfect peaches were actually on the ground, and you could just bite them and it was just the most perfect peach.

A sneaky way to implement my desired voter literacy test. Whatever it takes.

@jon-nyc said: I had no idea. I always thought the 'Student's t test' was a strange name, I didn't realize it was named, or rather, misnamed after a person. And the work history is fantastic. https://x.com/fermatslibrary/status/2065822630372905268?s=20 Would have been interesting to be a smart person in a day where it actually statistically mattered. I suppose most of the posters on this board would have been a revered intellectual when societies conformed to the number, what's that guy's name ... and I just asked ChatGPT, it's Dunbar's number.

Imagine those who hold that socially encouraged point of view, but who do have an IQ over 70. Witness the black lawyers. Like Jasmine Crockett, or Dominique whatever his name is, who the Anthony family hired. Or maybe that attorney hired the Anthony family. I do suspect that's actually how it worked. But these things are complicated.

Genuine question - what’s the rationale (even just the official one) for banning Fable/Mythos just for non-US citizens? The US is not lacking in motivated hackers/criminals and surely hacker/criminal networks can find themselves a US citizen.
