- Comment on What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it? 2 weeks ago:
Just reports from longtime Redbook users saying the influx has increased scrutiny on them. No hard data as of yet since that’s kind of impossible to get.
- Comment on What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it? 2 weeks ago:
Rednote is a Instagram like social media application. Tiktokers have been flocking to it in such numbers that it’s topping multiple app stores. Typically it is used by Chinese diaspora and mainland Chinese people to communicate but Americans are joining the app to protest the banning of tiktok.
Its causing a few issues for the social ecology of the app and the Chinese state is censoring and fencing off some of the content there as a result.
- Comment on What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it? 2 weeks ago:
Its Chinese controlled and the US government dislikes the Chinese state. That’s pretty much it. Its pure spite for the US government.
- Comment on 小红书 2 weeks ago:
Wasn’t just the corpos it was a joint project between the corps and the government. And in rebellion people are giving a rival nation full access to everything. If China had an obligation competitor you would be smart betting that they would’ve seen millions of holes before dawn just form people trying to spit in the face if tbe US.
Its a sensible protest, wtf is China going to do with that data that the US government and attached corporations wouldn’t do, right?

Considering how many games are released unbaked, its a great decision.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 1 month ago:
If a game is only released on Epic, it hasn’t been released yet. Its just in some weird alpha state until it has broader release.

Avoiding Streisand effect and buding a case takes time. I hope they get good lawyers cause I don’t think Nintendo would bring the case if they couldn’t win it.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking. If you are feeding your own works into a model or something then I’m not going to go all pitchforks about it but using a voice model instead of a voiceactor is automatically out. AI generated artwork is also out. I just flat am not interested.
But something homemade for a particular purpose I can consider.

Im starting to agree with that premise. Since these models only exist using the public’s data they should be public models only. No commercial use.

- Comment on Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9? 1 year ago:
You should be able to but remember that aspect ratios and framing are done intentionally so what is generated won’t be at all true to what should be in scene once the frame is there. You’d be watching derivative media. Upscaling should be perfectly doable but eventually details will be generated that will not have originally existed in scenes as well.
Probably would be fun eventually to try the conversion and see what differences you get.
