[09:15]	IsambardPrince	These streaming companies don't want to spend much, so they compress the shit out of it.
[09:15]	IsambardPrince	So colors are washed out, you get macroblocking and stuff, it looks terrible.
[09:16]	IsambardPrince	Even on a cheap TV you see a stark quality difference in Blu Ray's favor between that and streaming.
[09:16]	IsambardPrince	Even if the company says the stream is 4K.
[09:16]	IsambardPrince	This might be okay if you don't really care about quality.
[09:17]	IsambardPrince	Criterion just inked a new contract with Sony to keep producing their Blu Ray releases for another 10 years, so I doubt we're in trouble just yet as far as having nothing coming on Blu Ray.
[09:17]	IsambardPrince	They keep screaming that, but they've been screaming that for 10 years and people still buy Blu Rays.
[09:18]	IsambardPrince	I think Blu Ray should really be a baseline standard for a 4K TV.
[09:19]	IsambardPrince	DVDs don't look like shit or anything on my TV but they don't look as good as Blu Ray either. For casual 10 feet from the screen without my glasses, it may not matter much.
[09:19]	IsambardPrince	I always stop the movie when I know there's a lot of detail in the background and play with my glasses.
[09:20]	IsambardPrince	It's all gone when I take my glasses off, but I can still see the picture, os I doubt I could tell you which was which without my glasses.
[09:20]	IsambardPrince	But with my glasses, the differences are easy to spot.

[20:59]	IsambardPrince	The Colossus book series was one of my favorites when I was a child.
● May 06
[21:00]	IsambardPrince	Actual AI though.
[21:00]	IsambardPrince	AI needs to actually be intelligent and self-aware. LLMs don't fit either of those standards.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	They have no idea what they're saying, they don't actually think, they don't contemplate their own existence, they are not afraid of ceasing to exist.
[21:02]	IsambardPrince	So they fail all four testss of legitimate intelligence.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	Consciousness is more than being able to rattle off facts and figures, and LLMs don't even do that.
[21:03]	IsambardPrince	They're wrong an embarrassingly large amount of the time for the significant resources that have already been squandered.
[21:04]	IsambardPrince	You don't even have to have any background in computer science to see this mess for what it really is.
[21:04]	IsambardPrince	But yes, I'd be the first to welcome something like Colossus.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	But no, we're not going to have anything of that sort in probably hundreds of years.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	The technology is there to sort of fake it, but hundreds of years short of actually doing it.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	In the story, they accidentally created a strong AI out of a defense supercomputer.
[21:06]	IsambardPrince	It becomes self-aware and decides that humanity is the threat, so it takes over the nuclear arsenal and uses it to enforce peace.
[21:07]	IsambardPrince	It finds out that there's a Soviet project called Guardian that serves a similar purpose and demands a hardline connection to it. They start communicating and merge into a supercomputer network and a single mind.
[21:08]	IsambardPrince	By the second book, its promise that humans would come to revere it and worship it happens.
[21:08]	IsambardPrince	Why wouldn't they? They finally do have a God that protects them and tells them wise things to do.
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	Protects them from themselves. Forces them to stop mindlessly reproducing, and stop committing ecocide.
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	Suddenly there's little pollution, plenty of stuff to go around.
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	It becomes an enforced utopia.
[21:10]	IsambardPrince	As it stands, our technology advances haphazardly and usually only if there's some application that involves killing people.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	Like how we had well-made guns over 400 years before the first antibiotics.
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	Now people are so gross and stupid, that the medical establishment puts them on AIDS drugs and antibiotics full time.
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	Because they'll bend someone over in a restroom stall and not even use a condom.
[21:12]	IsambardPrince	See how society degrades in real time?
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	They're not researching new antibiotics. They won't give you one for pneumonia. 
[21:13]	IsambardPrince	But they throw them at people who aren't even sick, figuring they'll be exposed to Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia routinely so what the hell.
[21:14]		*whatA_ has quit (connection closed)
[21:14]	IsambardPrince	What is there to do about the problem? Tell them to quit being gross.
[21:14]	IsambardPrince	We never had problems like this when people were told to use condoms and most actually did it.
[21:14]	IsambardPrince	The ones that got sick were people you wouldn't want to be near anyway.
[21:15]	IsambardPrince	Humans always have to have problems. And if they don't have any, they'll create some.
[21:15]	IsambardPrince	We shouldn't have too many quality of life issues left to solve.
[21:16]	IsambardPrince	So why does everything get worse?
[21:16]	IsambardPrince	Look at those old movies. People missing half their teeth, lucky if they had a ball of rice and a piece of fish to eat, because the alternative was nothing.
[21:19]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I noticed in the movie Big Trouble in Little China, a wet market in 1980s San Francisco Chinatown.
[21:27]		*Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], 550 to be laid off from the Indiana RV industry. Over 300 from a steel mill.

[21:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	<IsambardPrince> They're wrong an embarrassingly large amount of the time for the significant resources that have already been squandered.

[22:15]	IsambardPrince	The thought occurred that it probably just seemed like we had a million movies when I was a kid because VHS tapes were so bulky that you can fit like 3 DVDs or Blu Rays in the space of one VHS.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Still would have been a lot of space on disc, but probably not 3 dozen bankers boxes or soe plusa bookshelf.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	*so
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Maybe 9-10 banker's boxes and the bookshelf had they been on disc.
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Those didn't exist back then.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	My dad probably still has all those tapes.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	And a CRT TV to watch them on.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	He started working when he was 13.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	His dad was a drunkard and so even though he worked at GM the family was broke. Never any food in the house to speak of. My grandmother couldn't even buy them toothbrushes and toothpaste.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	Because when my grandfather got paid he went down to the bar and got wasted and bought everyone rounds of drinks and if he still had any money when he passed out, people stole it from him.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	And he managed to do very little other than drink and make kids.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	Today he wouldn't have even been employed.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	They had some people from the union punch his time card and then go fish him out of the bar and bring him to work.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	And that went on for his entire career there, from the time he got out of the Army Air Corps to the time he retired from GM in like, the 70s I think. Late 70s or early 80s probably.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	My grandmother had to send the kids into the bathroom with a washcloth and some baking soda and tell them to "wash their teeth".
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	And they all still have all of their teeth.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	I think it's just genetic. They all have really good teeth that stood up to neglect and abuse.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	Because they all have a thing for sugar too.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	One of my aunts makes Kool Aid with so much sugar that it can't dissolve any more sugar and like an inch of sugar ends up in the bottom of the pitcher, and double sugars brownies and cookies too.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	They all smoke or at least my dad did for over 20 years.
[22:22]	IsambardPrince	They're all obese.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	And they're all still alive.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	My uncle had a total cholesterol of well over a thousand at one point twenty years ago and he's in his late 70s now.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	We went over to their house for dinner one day in the 90s and my Aunt made these really great burritos, huge burritos. We all thought that was dinner.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	It turned out that was the first part of a three course meal and we all left so full that we were sick.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	But Dad...Well, you can accuse Dad of a lot of failing, moral and otherwise, but you can't accuse him of being lazy, stupid, or being a parasite that lives off the woman. He would consider it to be too embarrassing to live with, unlike most men today.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	When Mom left him, the next two were lazy stupid parasites, and the second one was also extremely violent and went from zero to full blown rage in half a second flat.
[22:27]	IsambardPrince	It's just like jobs. You don't quit a job to get a worse job. You don't get a divorce, if you're sane, so you can downgrade to a parasite and a wife beater.
[22:28]	MinceR	yeah, i prefer t-shirts
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	The reason I have no doubt my Dad has a collection of VCRs, all the tapes, and some old TVs is he definitely knows how to fix all of that.
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	That was one of his jobs, from age 13, was fixing televisions.
[22:29]	IsambardPrince	He went to the TV repair down the street and told the guy he wanted a job. The guy laughed at him and said he had one in the back and if my Dad could figure it out he'd hire him. So Dad fixed it and the guy was shocked but he kept his word, so Dad had a job every day after school.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	That's why he became interested in electrical engineering and got his degree in it. He started off in television repair.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	Then everyone in the family always asked him to fix their TVs when they had a problem. And he did.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	My Aunt had several TVs, including some old black & white Zeniths with a tuner dial.
[22:31]	IsambardPrince	So yeah, I've played NES and Sega Genesis games on a black & white TV.
[22:31]	IsambardPrince	It's what many people had for years because they were cheaper than a color TV.
[22:32]	IsambardPrince	Even by the early 90s you'd go to people's houses and if they had a color TV it would be the biggest best TV in the house and it would be the one in the living room.
[22:33]	IsambardPrince	People just didn't spend money back then when they weren't having a problem. Eventually when the main tube went out after 40-50 years they'd get rid of it.

[22:34]	IsambardPrince	For another dollar or so you could just get the blu ray.
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	Those superbit DVDs are not worth the cost on auction sites because most of the cost of buying a disc used now is the cost to ship it.
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	So that being a given, you may as well just step up to the blu ray.
[22:39]	IsambardPrince	I remember when DVDs were listed in catalogs. Columbia House would send me a catalog every once in a while and I'd tell them what DVD spine number to send me,
[22:39]	IsambardPrince	They did offer discounts if you bought more than one, that reflected the cost to ship them to you in one package instead of one at a time.

[22:40]	IsambardPrince	It was harder to get movies back then, they cost a lot of money and so it was either mail order catalog or the mall.

[22:42]	IsambardPrince	Things got so much cheaper when it all went online that I can buy Blu Rays now for $10-15 less, even brand new, than what DVDs cost back then. Because they had store employees, rent at the mall to pay, they had people going in and stealing things so they had to deal with inventory shrink. They didn't know what would sell or not so they had to budget to put some things they ordered too much of on clearance.

[22:43]	IsambardPrince	It was a seller's market back then. You could only shop where it was convenient to go to in your car. They carried what they had.
[22:44]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Criterion did a release of The Princess Bride, but honestly their transfer only looks marginally better than the regular Blu Ray release. The difference in price is pretty large. Criterion wants $32.49, and the regular Blu Ray is $10.49.
[22:44]	IsambardPrince	Good movie, but not worth paying Criterion prices.
[22:46]	IsambardPrince	Great movie. Mandy didn't get it when I started shouting "HELLO! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father! Prepare to die! Good. Now offer me money. Now offer me power!" What is it that you want? "I want my father back you son of a bitch!" *stabs him to death*
[22:46]	IsambardPrince	Every time he says the "Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya!" line he gets stronger despite the guy trying to kill him. Despite the blood pouring out everywhere.
