- Comment on Star Trek has more to offer or it has to end and stop producing more content? 5 weeks ago:
honestly, don’t watch star trek content on youtube. it’s full of haters. for some reason it seems like podcasts have a higher percentage of people who are not into performative hatred.

great episode. I do wish the actress who plays Tarima was better acting. I think her scenes were the weakest
- Comment on Kate Mulgrew Defends ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ And Captain Ake From “Disrespectful” Online Attacks 1 month ago:
it is also the series that had to define what Trek was in current times. It took it a few seasons and the later shows used a lot of that lessons. it might had a lot of problems, but I dont think it was for a lack of trying.

- Comment on Pope Leo XIV brings not peace but a sword to AI oligarchs and a slop-mad world in new address, says it's 'Turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts' 2 months ago:
I dont think this is new. the catholic church has taken this sort of official position on these kind of matters for over a 100 years . Leo XIII argued in favor of workers rights and trade unions back in 1890 (in rerum novarum). In practice, of course, things go a little bit different.

- Comment on Square Enix, Bandai, and other Japanese studios demand OpenAI stop using their content without permission, drop a not-too-subtle hint about legal trouble if it doesn't 5 months ago:
I f you believe AI companies should NOT be allowed to train AI with copyrighted works you should stop using Internet search engines. Because the same rules that allow Google to train their search with everyone’s copyrighted websites are what allow the AI companies to train their models.
sorry but no. most search bots have been for years quite reasonable in following instructions from the sites on what to scrap and what not. AI scrappers have shown they are willing to go to great lenghts to scrap content against the wishes of the website owners.
Additionally this scrapping has shown to put a tremendous amount of problems into some sites and platforms, open source projects, for example.
Last, search engines are a win-win. They get to show ads and then redirect traffic to the source. LLMs for the most part steal that traffic, by regurgitating the same content they stole in the first place.

This analogy is absolutely bonkers. the VCR is not made out of copyrighted material. If the VCR does not spit bunch of copyrighted material on demand because the makers put it there. AI Image generation models cannot be created without copyrighted material. That is not even a controversial take.

I think resolution is just a tiny part of why newer TVs are so much better than a 10yo TV. there is better contrast, HDR, more brightness, angle of vision, etc.
1080p content will look better in a good 4k TV and not just because the resolution.
