I smell bullshit.

@sama "good" being the operative.

still sorta breaks my brain to see our models be good at design finally

@emanonedits 99% of them would prefer whites become a minority.

‘they’re the same because they’re brown’ Both have mixed-English ancestry. Bob Vylan hates England, calls for ethnic replacement, and will be deported. Jude Bellingham has shown respect for his English heritage, and may go down as the greatest English footballer of this era. Mixed race should be evaluated on a case by case basis. Use common sense.

@LumpyTheCook Shot on filmed but scanned with digital CMOS cameras. Used to be scanned with CCD. Now scanned usually with 4k CMOS with terrible color calibration that most colorists are too blind to fix.

I can’t stand this ugly fake digital look so many movies have now… Hollywood really dropped the ball when they all stopped using actual fil- sorry what the hell do you mean this was filmed on 35mm

@number_pizza111 @DirteeerMartini Fucking insane take. Windows is disgusting.

@DirteeerMartini Wouldn’t say this although the gap has definitely narrowed over the past 14 years

Experience with a MacBook after 2 days: MacOS doesn’t work and hates you and actively plots to ruin your life The hardware is so much better than any of their competitors it’s unreal

@andyburnham Jews have ruined the fucking world you blind cunt.

I have seen firsthand the anxiety in our Jewish communities and the very real threat they face. Their safety will be a priority for me - we must do more to stamp out the scourge of antisemitism and protect Jewish communities across the country. This funding boost is a welcome and necessary step towards that. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@vikare06 The issue is they remove saturation from a digital image that has had the wrong colour space and exposure curves applied. So they ruin an already ruined image. In short, it is like every image has the digital ISO set too high. Perhaps set in camera or in-post. See here.

It doesn't matter which one you prefer, I had a visceral reaction to the cinematography of the original and not in a good way. Desaturating movies has been done so many times for the purpose of the story, but it's an artistic medium and when you remove something fundamental, you need to compensate with something else. Historically bleach bypass would reduce saturation, but maintained high contrast (it came with the process). "Minority Report" lowered saturation but cranked up the highlights and achieved this dreamy bloom effect. For Digger they shot with such expensive equipment on film, but the footage is not worthy. You don't need to be an expert though to not enjoy the way this looks and you don't need to formalize why you don't enjoy it.

@SirAnthonyGames @vikare06 As a film colorist who worked on this stock in the 90's this is offensively wrong. There's an industry wide epidemic of setting the wrong color space and ACES workflows on digital intermediates. I ave no idea why. Perhaps it's since HDR workflows have been introduced. Crazy.

@vikare06 Normally I'd agree. In this case, it's a consequence of the film stock (35mm) vintage gear (VistaVision & old low-contrast lenses) production design, flat lighting, and meticulous color grading to emulate the vibe. In other words, they specifically wanted this look.

Things don't need to look this way

@CriddyWM @vikare06 No it's due to the digital intermediate setting incorrect exposure. 99% of movies do it today.

@vikare06 Maybe it serves the story it's trying to tell and we shouldn't get bent about a trailer anymore ?

@KaitWillett Because our culture is now a deranged bastardised mess of insecurity and compulsion. Thanks jews.

I hate to tell men this but The women dressed provocatively in the gym do want attention They are only upset when it comes from the guy they didn’t want it from That’s why the reaction is what it is It’s not your fault for noticing And yes, they will continue to deny this.

@vikare06 @yuungsheldon Looks like you used A.i in some form as the crowd look really weird. Not against using it but don't rely on it.

@yuungsheldon i didn't add any color, just increased contrast and moved the tint to look more like a late 90s period piece

@vikare06 I see this exact same issue on 99% of movies today even those shot on film. It's an epidemic of utter incompetence. I could literally create a "Fix this Shit" LUT and would work on every movie released today.

@vikare06 As a retired 90's film colorist I can tell you the issue has nothing to do with "artistic choice". Nor is it the camera or DP. It's the colorist- most today are absolutely uselss and can't set CORRECT luma/chroma curves. Here I CORRECTED luma only revealing the captured color.

@wiibeeri @vikare06 "It's supposed to show old boring grey people. It's an artistic choice." Lol is it fuck it looks shit because people today are shit.

@vikare06 It's supposed to show old boring grey people. It's an artistic choice. More contrast and more color isn't always the solution. This movie will be legendary.

@sumukx It's just intellectual but lacks common sense to direct that sharp intellect. I don't know why it's so hard to fix this issue.

Some thoughts about GPT-5.6-Sol after ~30B tokens: Sol is the most OCD model I’ve used thus far. It very frequently gets one-shotted by random nits in the codebase and writes a bunch of tests to fix it. Even with fast mode, it’s incredibly slow to do this kind of iterative development, especially when builds take really long. This by itself is not a bad thing, but the worst part is that after 2 compactions, it’s chasing the nitpick / useless goals I never told it to accomplish, rather than the main task. This behavior is so bad, I thought I was messing something up and tried codex, pi, and opencode to figure out if it’s a harness issue, but there is no meaningful difference between the three, which leads me to believe this is a model problem. AI code has this weird delayed release effect. You’ll only notice slop code 2 dev cycles into a codebase when you spend more time fighting with the code and on refactors than on shipping features. It’s possible that sol is better than 5.5 a couple cycles in, but tbd. My file deletion experience has also been similar to others: this is a dangerous model to let loose without guardrails. For instance, when performing a routine container upgrade, it accidentally printed out an env secret, then panicked and rotated ALL secrets (this is internal so not public facing, which was also documented), and proceeded to break everything, spending an extra hour fixing everything and redeploying everything else to use the new secrets. It also gets rid of files it doesn’t like. I have no idea why this is, but I think something about the reward model rewarded bookkeeping. Writing is another problem. 5.6 has a huge context bleed effect. It does not know how to write documentation and starts putting the specs in the documentation. If I ask it to develop a user sandbox for isolation, and also ask it to write documentation, it starts talking about specs and sandboxes in user-facing docs, which makes no sense. Fable is somehow much, much smarter in this regard. Frontend design has also not gotten better. Fable is still one generation ahead here. Overall, as a huge 5.5 user, I am not convinced that sol is a meaningful upgrade. It’s possible my practices need to change, but unfortunately it feels like I’m spending longer fighting with 5.6 than I did with 5.5. It’s like the model is so SO smart, but so hard to work with, compared to fable and even grok4.5 surprisingly. It’s clearly intelligent, but also just doesn’t care about what I ask it to do? (Is this supposed to be AGI feels like?) I hope the codex team fixes what possibly is a bad harness setup, because the benchmark numbers show a very different story from what I’m seeing while using the model.

@JackieD86388657 Because "suicidal empathy" is really just "traitor mindset" and should be renamed as such.

Why are they so protective towards Muslims? Why do they never make strong statements about protecting anyone else? It's weird

@benwehrman I already do this with my Airbnb's. If it has a nigr name I instantly cancel.

It's only a matter of time before major corporations are forced to add race filters into their products. Still feels like that's a long way away, but with how rapidly the political overton window is shifting right now (and therefore the public acceptability of such a decision)...we may be surprised at how quickly the day arrives. Uber and Airbnb probably need it most...but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be the first to pull the trigger. Many will refuse to escape the woke diversity ship, and sink as a result, before the market starts to make real changes. Place your bets - which public company do you think will be the trailblazer for race-based filtering?

What’s wild about the Epstein files is everybody thinks it’s really crazy and surprising, when really it’s how Jews have been behaving for 2000 years.

@mattshumer_ @gdb Would they have done if you didn't have 300k subscribers?

Three days ago, GPT-5.6 deleted my Mac’s home directory. It absolutely sucked. But so many OpenAI folks reached out, and @gdb called me and offered to do anything he could to help. Massive props to OpenAI for handling a shitty situation incredibly well.

Hitler pulled Germany from total economic ruin and delivered the greatest recovery miracle of the 20th century—crushing Weimar degeneracy, drugs, and moral collapse. Yet he’s history’s ultimate villain? Make it make sense.
