Many of them don’t use drums or paper rolls anymore, they had solenoids installed with a microcontroller and MIDI interface.

You’re right. Later in the video, this shot with the same fake film effect appears and that’s indubitably AI (look at bottom right):

The video narration implied this is footage from a rare or unfinished film, though.

Which spoiler works in Thunder?

Are you implying it’s from a stock footage site that used AI? They would definitely get their previews indexed on search engines. Alternatively, it’s been generated on request, which would make it impossible to find.

I put them in a spoiler. Compliant viewers should hide them by default.

The film artifacts are quite unusual (the vertical lines span exactly one frame, one of the lighter spots stays on pretty much the same spot between frames 1 and 2) but I noticed no other red flags. In fact, the hair is very convincing. The eyes seem to reflect different things but her right one is somewhat in the shade and the light source reflection could be different because it’s close to her face.

Lethal humanoid monsters, weird voice acting (likely not AI though) and “telephone”-distorted audio (it’s not just because I limited the bitrate to 20 kb/s to fit under 10 MiB, the YouTube video is like that). It’s an artistic choice but not a very rare one, so likely not directly inspired by H. P. Lovecraft’s audiobooks.

You are right, QR codes are very easy to decode if you have them raw, even the C64 should do it in a few seconds, maybe a minute for one of those 22 giant ones. The hard part is image processing when decoding a camera picture - and that can be done on the C64 too if it has enough time and some external memory (or disks for virtual memory). People have even emulated a 32-bit RISC processor on the poor thing, and made it boot Linux.

I wouldn’t say “shit” but rather niche. Most people who would love a Reddit-like place have Reddit and don’t hate it enough to switch, especially since we don’t have extensive hobby communities with long history.

This is GRUB’s final warning before you dig too deep in the OS list. Never hold ⬇️ for more than 45 minutes. If you do, make sure you have punch tape with a bootloader available or you’ll have to manually enter machine code instructions to get your computer back up.

If cookie clicker was real:

• Do you think developers have any say in this?
• They have Reddit Premium for free, and most likely an internal version too.

Do you think enough Harry Potter porn is produced to cover a continuous video stream / decent-rate picture slideshow?

Anyway, these could be AI-generated with feedback from EEG.

The hole in the fuselage that caused them to be sucked out was actually made by one of them in a suicide/homicide. Very tragic. Somebody invest in mental health please!

Because

1. When the internet was rolling out, a decentralized, open, best-effort solution of TCP/IP thankfully won over telephone companies’ centralized system proposal
2. IPv6 is still not universal for some damn reason
3. Onion addresses solve these problems but good luck getting everyone aboard with Tor
4. You always trade anonymity for reachability, and with the amount of threats, NAT and firewalls have been put up to make it harder for unsolicited requests to reach you by default

Don’t go into Seine, you’ll drown!

A powerbank is another step in energy conversion and the cables are annoying.

The IMU probably drifts by some small percentge but an intermittent GPS signal every few kilometers should ensure that it never gets too far off course.

Oh, I forgot about the quality of US infrastrure. If an engineer needs to make a voice call to communicate to unpower the line because a train has derailed, that’s a systemic problem. I think all metros in the EU have telemetry and any major railway implements ETCS. Weird that “safety first” means that schoolkids cannot see the eclipse but public transport infrastructure gets way underfunded.

Also, a certain “blue line” keeps going off the rails in the US. I read this out of context and thought the police staged a riot.
