i bet this poor meme can't even sleep well in the bed. I'm tall, but this boi, he's really tall. NO way he fits in a bed. Its' really sad. we shouldn't make fun of it.

And that is with him all curled up like an orphan in the winter smh

Edit: omg you guys, so much love

Edit 2: This is fun. I made !tallboi@lemmy.world, come play along!

A rare out loud laugh, such beautiful effort

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Actually brilliant. I applaud you

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have saved this. It is 100% the best comment I have ever seen on a meme.

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Omg I'm going to blush

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

From the thumbnail I though this was a really long cat with a little green hat lying down as if it had a fever.

Then I thought you added the post images onto the cat's body.

Then at last I zoomed in and turns out there's no cat.

I can see it too, now that you say that!

I'm still laughing at this hours later, and am documenting this all to share with friends. Without a doubt in my top 5 comments of all time, I love you

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tallboi@lemmy.world

[–] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We'll need follow ups on the life of this tall boy.

Lol! Nice!
Giving me some Photoshopbattles vibes.

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thanks! i really miss PsBattles. I started my own !imageedits@lemmy.zip but nobody knows it exists, and I don't use my lemmy.zip account anymore now that .world is stable again.

Okay but As a native north carolinian and a csi enthustiast, my only true beef with this and any other cinematic representation is... NC doesn't require front plates. Just the rear. So when people filming over in cali are all like, yo, pop this NC plate on the front bumper, I just.. i just lose it. From a continuity standpoint.

The csi zoom screw passes the vibe check for me, but the NC front plate does not lol

I mean jeez looking for procedural realism in modern crime shows is a lost cause.

[–] vivavideri@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's a hill I'm prepared to die on 😂

Las Vegas opening, New York investigation, Miami punch line.

Honestly seems that a lot of crime shows would become more realistic if they just had a psychic on the squad.

Or Diana Troi

That was not a parody of CSI but of Blade Runner. The whole mini was packed with Blade Runner references.

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

That was beautiful

Answer: A ML-model just makes it the fuck up

There's gonna be a day when people don't understand this anymore. Considering the resolution phone cameras have now, it may not even be that much longer.

I'm wondering if AI can already solve this. I'm not even some crazy AI fanboy, I'm just thinking about the possibility of predictive AI being able to interpret compression artifacts to determine what forms would collapse into a particular pattern.

[–] Knusper@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

There have been upscaling AIs for a few years, which can take a blurry picture and then e.g. guess that some pixels are probably hair, so it'll swap those out for a custom rendered version of hair.

Sometimes that works well, but you often still have Uncanny Valley stuff going on. I also certainly don't feel like they're better at actually interpreting low-res images than humans, not in their current state.

And well, it should also be noted that if you prime such an AI with an image of the suspect, it will absolutely find a way to make a blurry mess of pixels look like that. So, it certainly shouldn't serve as the only evidence.

Calm down there, you’re starting to sound all inquisitive & such. Like that creamsicle lookin’ fella from the show.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

No, but AI can be used to make up "evidence" and falsely convict people through "science", "technology", and "math" that people don't understand but assume is correct because computers or something.

[–] SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

This already happens. See the Samsung S23 Ultra Moon picture marketing that turned out to be a lie.
