that "study" was a massive meme last month
AI is still a huge bubble and all
but that study asked dozens of questions, and threw out every one that produced anything even seemingly pro-AI
the anti-AI stock market gamblers are more obnoxious than the normal "think of the artists" anti-AI people at this point imo
which is quite the achievement

Anyone want to go to the Alpha school?
Yeah, the video transition effect is also different
the only plus is the fade time for the overlay was reduced to <0.1 seconds
I'll manually scale the player elements down if they don't fix it by tomorrow
"I haven't had any issues" I thought to myself moments before encountering a video whose player buttons were so fucked I couldn't adjust volume other than a full mute
Lmao the icon for the video being muted gets cut off by the autoplay button
Oh, and it is a music playlist video by the way, and I can’t even open the chapters unless I go into theater mode, but it disappears if I go back, which is incredibly frustrating because I don’t normally use theater mode because I don’t personally like it
Replying to Phijkchu_Cynnydaquil #vinnyg "I haven't had any issues" I thought to myself moments before encountering a video whose player buttons were so fucked I couldn't adjust volume other than a full mute
is this like on mobile or something
Nope, desktop
Slightly better on a different monitor but still not really usable
This is the video, for reference
I guess it's an issue with videos whose res is the size of album art?
Nope, 100%
Tho zooming out does sorta fix it
80 is the earliest I can see the chapter thing

While waiting for silksong to be purchasable, I had a phjikchu dream. A few people were in vc playing something because it was pikas sendoff from the server, as a vote was held to decide whether he should leave or not and someone added a bunch of bot accounts to the server who voted for leave and pika didn't care about whether they were legit or not. So pika was hanging out in chat with his camera on and he looked something like bill Fagerbakke
Thats a good one
stop the count

Crank science is always funny
https://x.com/Stoic_David/status/1963246503734006121 he has done away with dark matter and dark energy though
add proof by grok to the one xkcd comic about proofs
We just slap the word dark on shit we don't know the mechanics of what the fuck is actually happening
I think its more so "our observations show that there should be something, but we don't know what the fuck it is or understand it, so just call it dark matter/energy"
dark matter is used to explain large scale structure in the universe which matches there being some sort of source of gravity we cannot see, energy is expansion
dark matter we know more about, energy really is a "well, something explains it so uh, yeah"
