Affinity Photo 3 is also free and it’s kind of like Photoshop, I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve heard good things

Honestly this is more complicated as I’m looking for something that just works, maybe I’ll set it up later and yeah I’ve got an AMD GPU so upscaling is much much slower.

I mean tech innovation has been stale for a long time, even with hardware remember how the CPU market was before Ryzen? Completely dead, Intel was sitting on it’s morals doing nothing because they were owning the market 10 to 1, but even now that I’ve got my i7-10700 I don’t see any point in upgrading.

Software side? It’s a mess companies will always be greedy, just today I wanted to upscale something with the cloud because my PC is great for 90% of the things I want to do, Upscaling is not one of those but guess what Topaz asks for credits in order to use their servers, yes CREDITS, so I said bye bye. I’ve also said bye bye to Adobe and moved on with Davinci Resolve.

That’s the ironic part isn’t it, It’s like a Nazi reports you for “inciting violence” and then Reddit says well technically you incited violence somehow, oh by the way this guy that reported you with malicious intent walks away free, which is probably what happened.

Unless a bot spotted a word or something, because I was literally banned by a bot.

I do agree and you are right that it depends on the community for example r/politics which is a really large subreddit that attracts all different kinds of users has to be way more strict than let’s say a niche small community, but what I also didn’t mention that receiving a permanent ban out of nowhere is harsh especially because a bot said so, to me a permanent ban should be enforced for the absolute worst of the worst situations, like harassment, doxxing and illegal porn.

But yeah my point is that if you are going to be that strict at least be fair and have actual admins checking your appeals and if they still say no, then all good.

Depends on what you classify as AI anymore

I work with Video Editing software and you could argue that a lot of features on softwares like Davinci, Capcut, Premiere all use different helpful tools that could or could not be AI, Artificial Intelligence existed long before companies slapped the term into every product. Nowadays even TVs have “AI” processors which is just a fancy way of saying just a CPU.

I do believe it still should be an Open source tool that we can use for good, for example helping fighting against cancer but knowing we live in such a planet it will be used for worse rather than good and it depends on who trains it and for what purpose because we train AI.

I do care about Art like Movies, Books and the Movie industry so far seems to be the only one who fights against AI being used as lazy work, there are possibly Video Games that use AI text to speech for NPCs or something but there are a lot of directors who speak passionatelly against it which is good to see.

At the end of the day it’s a tool and it will depend on how we use it. We can use it to do good things, but also drive more people out of jobs and helping with endless wars, I have a feeling the latter will be true but we’ll see.

“Unlike you woke snowflakes I use Times New Roman”

Obviously the honest taxpayer and not the greedy billionaires.

Whenever you have too much moderation and rules just know that companies can leverage that however they want, same with Reddit and how I got wrongfully banned and many others, may companies never rule the world.

It’s quite funny because every Disney movie nowadays feels fake and manufactured without AI.

Imagine losing to fucking VRChat

It might be one of those placebo feelings, but I think my PC is running slightly worse and I’m working on a video right now I need to edit with Premiere so I’m thinking of formatting my PC, I haven’t done so in many years.

I used to think the space until I saw movies like Oppenheimer and I can’t go back to 1080p.

I think you might be one of the few guys, that prefer 3D over VR

How do you compare it to VR.

I n ever understood why they couldn’t make TPM 2.0 work on W10

Yeah but it’s ten times as immersive as 3D, How would you replace it.

I mean we have VR, make the case for 3D while VR is a thing

Yeah, nowadays I only watch movies in 4K and it’s night and day over Full HD and I don’t know why anyone would say otherwise.

Weren’t there like Blu-Rays? I guess the first movie I watched was Avengers (2012) and it really didn’t blew me away

Nowadays I watch movies with my Quest 2 on the big screen app and think, holy shit
