It’s ironic that crunchyroll is here.

They should understand more than anyone that they need to offer a good service, and piracy would be less of an issue.

Amazon just laid off 14,000 workers, and they’re claiming they can do their jobs with AI.

They’re already making AI commercials for TV and AI images for advertising, and there was a post here about AI music that hit the top 100 played on Spotify or something. Now, how cost-effective and efficient these all are? I have no idea.

I think there’s both overhype and reality. I think it’s a bit of both. Companies want people to believe AI is the way forward. But I also think part of this is smoke and mirrors. I actually don’t know how much of it is truth and until we start hearing more first-hand accounts, I feel like it’s very up in the air.

The one thing I’ve personally found, is that buying devices with less points of failure has been helpful when possible.

Yup exactly. They stop crimes of opportunity

I love this guy. His videos have shown me to never trust locks

My personal guess was to get people “used” to AI video. If you slap a smear over everything, it makes it look similar

Alternatively, it could have been an attempt to clean up video to make it look better. However, the implementation and where I’ve seen it seems to make little sense. It generally makes everything look worse, so I have no clue.

I feel like the internet should probably be hosted in as many different servers and physical locations as possible. It seems alarming that these things happen as often as they do

Lol that could be the newest horror movie for Halloween. “Education on Elm Street”.

I think that’s the scariest part. The idea that people will stop learning.

I find it reassuring that Wikipedia is doing it’s best to try and maintain truth and accountability. I agree they should be hosted in a different place.

Side thought/my own ramblings here: Has there ever been hosting where the information is scattered across the world rather than one localized spot? That seems like it might be helpful, but I honestly don’t know enough about site hosting

This kind of tech is going to mislead people into wars. It’s going to ruin digital information

This issue hasn’t affected me yet. But I worry that it could affect us if these payment processors keep escalating. Like sure, right now, it’s NSFW. But then it’ll be anything they want. LGBT+ content? Too much violence? Critical of religion? They’ll just keep going

Blows my mind that this the UK is doing this. I hope it gets reverted at some point.

They’re trying to turn it into truth social. I want to say people won’t fall for it, but I’m sure some will

My old PC seemed to only be able to handle shotcut it didn’t have everything i wanted, but it had all the basic stuff you could need.

I think if you were going to really be getting into the weeds of video editing, you might want something better. I personally wasn’t able to find ways to speed up certain editing functionality, which took up some extra time. Certain features are still being developed and worked on.

But at the time, I just needed a lightweight editor that my PC could handle, and it did the job well.

I followed this tutorial, and it helped me learn the ropes.

I’ve decided that I want to learn DaVinci at some point, but I’ve been frankly lazy in recent months and haven’t been editing as much as I would like/should lol

We use snagit at work and it has been ok? I think it’s a paid application though

Haha glad I could help. ProZD was truly ahead of his time with Vine.

I looked at it, thought “it looks fairly average, I wonder what’s unique about it”

I saw the price and my eyes went wide lol

The dangerous thing that I think AI and censorship cause is a lack of trust and feeling of cooperation within a nation. I believe it causes people to close themselves off and become distrustful of their government.

This might just be me projecting my own bias, but the rise of rampant misinformation and the general breakdown of society and the social safety net(or rather the breakdown of what minimal safety nets were there to begin with) has caused me to distrust and question anything I see. It has caused me to just double down my thinking based around my own personal worldview rather than accept what I am told or directly see.

It makes me a lot more resistant to go with the flow. I’m not sure if that’s beneficial for a countries government or not. I can’t see it being helpful, though, when I’m likely not going to believe what they tell me or view things with such high skepticism.

Edit: the one thing this could do though is if a group had enough information on a specific person is they could push misinfo to specific groups and people with a spin that they believe the targets would be more likely to fall for. For example, maybe I would be more likely to believe something negative about something that I already have a negative bias towards. If someone wanted to manipulate me further, they could customize or tailor that to manipulate me further.

I feel like I’m going into tinfoil hat territory, but at the same time I feel like it’s probably not that far fetched. Maybe at some point I just go back to monkey and live in the woods lol.
