I have faith that other countries will regulate this shit somehow and the US internet will eventually become a dead mall (as if it hasn’t already)

Leftists should know by now that coercion isn’t freedom, the average person hates this bullshit but it’s being forced upon everyone

Real question is how do I join the great firewall of the PRC?

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 55 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Broke: using a vpn to bypass the Chinese firewall from the inside

Woke: using a vpn so you get inside the Chinese firewall

And facebook boomers are so fucking stupid they'll believe a color photo of someone in 1896 using an iPhone.

[–] context@hexbear.net 48 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

early color photography experiments date back to the 1840s, a color photo from 1896 is plausible, it was just prohibitively expensive for most uses for a long time.

similarly, italian inventor stefano lavori began working on early versions of what would become the iphone (shortened from italian telephone) in his workshop in ragu, italy in 1864 while attempting to devise a tomato sauce recipe that doesn't require glue.

in the 1960s, american scientists spent 500 billion dollars figuring out how to make a t9 keyboard that could be used in zero gravity

the soviets simply used touchscreen smartphones

I remember something about a photographer who would take three pictures, each with a red, blue, or green filter. Then they'd had tint the images and somehow combine them in to a single color photograph.

[–] bazingabrain@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

that was a russian photographer, who impressed tsar nicolas 2 so much he was officially commissioned to do a tour of the empire and take as many photographs he could. I havent found a complete source for his pics online yet.

[–] context@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

yep, in many ways that's the easiest way to do it. co-registering the 3 photos can be tricky, especially for close ups. but it's bulky and laborious. it's not really until the filters got incorporated into multilayered film that it became cheap enough for widespread use.

Lmao. Ai, there is a problem with the tire size.

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

And the size of the car (look at a picture of a Model T that has a human for reference, this car is gigantic compared to that), and the car's rear right tire (which appears to split).

1907 Ford Expedition

[–] fox@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

It's definitely a fucked up carriage, not a car. There's some organic noise on the left edge that might be the back of a horse

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

You gotta stretch it out a bit first, just like ol granpappy used to do

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago

hate this shit cause rubber tires on horase drawn vehicles is something that i'd like to learn more about but this is just a planet-killing machine's hallucination

Jokes on you i was already doing that 🤓🤓🤓

tangentially related, has anyone started to get recommended a lot of ai-generated "wacky" period music on youtube, with ai-generated album covers, probably lyrics as well, and edgy 4-chan teenager type song names, like "[slur] and the [slurry] boys - my family member's genitalia (1973)"

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Like "time to shit on the company's dime"?

Some of em can be pretty funny or decent when used well. A personal favorite of mine is a dude that's actually a decent singer putting the voice actor for plankton from SpongeBob over his own voice and delivering a few good bangers out of nowhere.

Hell he released a song that sounds straight out of My Chemical Romance and it's a genuine headbopper

Is this why the right and boomers alike are so gung ho about AI?

In a world where information becomes a popularity contest, they know they'll win. People will voluntarily choose to believe what they want to believe, because who can REALLY say what's the truth?

Giving meemaw and pawpawp more credit than they deserve.
