as slopish as this is it's still 1000x better than anything Hollywood can do and I'd watch this as long as there was some human element to it - voice actors, script etc.
- I mean full length films must be a year or two away if that._niko
- no they are not. this is still crap, just got better hiding it.sted

- I challenge anyone to show me CGI better than AI when it comes to natural human movement. CGI is still in uncanny valley. it might add an extra arm_niko
- but it still looks more real than CG_niko
- AI video literally is CGI though isn't it? This is sort of my point; AI is OK against an already-poor benchmark.MrT

Bitcoin
A couple years ago I randomly bought a tiny bit of bitcoin on Venmo using cash that I was too lazy to transfer out, and honestly, totally forgot about it. To my surprise the investment has nearly tripled.
- Quintupled I mean.monospaced
- now u can buy more palantir stock...brilliant.neverscared
- what are you trying to say about me exactlymonospaced
- exactly that.... which is written above...neverscared
- so absolutely nothing, got it. Why bother?monospaced
- I can also buy more of anything. Why bring up palantir?monospaced
- why not? anything or something specific like palantir .... u were informing us once u made some good cash with palantir......no need to get upset.neverscared
- Palantir is a whipping 0.5% of my investments. Who gives a shit? Why bring it up? It’s absolutely irrelevant unless you’re trying to critique memonospaced
- Please don’t tell me you’re one of “those people” who equate stock ownership with support of a company. Eye roll.monospaced
- ok ... no problem u dont need to make it 0.6%.... everybody knows buying stock of a company means kicking the company in the nuts ... its not a capital infusionneverscared
- to expand operations, developing new products, or paying off debt.neverscared
- totaly fugazineverscared
- So you finally reveal that you actually do want to say something and it’s just to talk shit and reveal your petty ignorance. Well done.monospaced
- if you would have mentioned the other 99.5% of compannies which stock u enganged with somewhere where i could have seen it ... i probably would have mentionedneverscared
- them too.. have u bragged as hardly about any stock as the palantir one around here...if u show me that..neverscared
- Grow up. Palantir is the only one that returned 2000% in a short time. It’s a bit noteworthy.monospaced
- so u r buying ?neverscared
- what u mean by grow up? i should invest into palantir stock ?neverscared
- are you asking me for investing advice?monospaced
- By grow up I mean maybe talk about this like an adult and not like a redditor.monospaced
- I remember arguing with you about btc... how times have changed. only if all of us qbn elite bought when this or ethereum thread first started....inteliboy
- eth was something like $4 when qbn started chattering about it :/inteliboy
- adults invest into palantir thats your advice how i read your comments ...neverscared
- and if u could be so kind answer the question if u r buying..because thats what adults do ... they answer the questions.neverscared
- and not ignore them like the worst redditiors.neverscared
- i dont need advise.. .since you are investing into palantir its would be shizo of you not to advise investing into palantir.neverscared
- but since u must have a dedicated and mercantil opinion how adults think about investing into karps company... i would be delighted to hear a few points..neverscared
- it's funny - the first time I head about BTC was through the people in here...maikel
- I didn’t sell the bitcoin. I get the impression you know little or nothing about investing and are here just to talk shit.monospaced
- And I already answered that palantir is only like 0.18% of my portfolio now, and when I bought it it was .001%. It was a ridiculously good buy, OBVIOUSLY.monospaced
- I also wonder if you have any clue considering palantir is an all time high and that’s usually not a good time to buy.monospaced
- ok, thanks lots of projections what i know and dont ...maybe u can cut that out next time to keep it more adult.neverscared
- palantir über alles!neverscared
- as long as i know enough about the design profession not the get laid off like u.. i couldnt care less about the finance investment anyhow.neverscared
- LOL!!!
You guys are doing great without me afterallgrafician - Wait, you think knowledge of design is enough to avoid a corporate restructuring? You really are a child.monospaced
- Clearly you couldn’t care less about investing. You obviously don’t know anything about it all. Same with Graf, the skinny little bitch.monospaced
- It’s super easy to sit on the sidelines and pathetically critique a minuscule investment into a company the internet told you to hate.monospaced
- When you don't have a spine, sure, weasel boy :))
You literally got fired from your design job too, meaning you were shit at it and somebody finally noticedgrafician - Either you don’t know what literal means or you’re just ignorant. I wasn’t fired you moron.monospaced
- I was and am great at it.monospaced
- Not only was I better at design than you’ll ever be, and ever could dream of being, I also was more successful as an investor. Try again you fucking little losemonospaced
- Sureee, congratulate yourself even more you fat vapid troll :))grafician
- Except I’m not trolling. My post is just a true anecdote. You’re the one trolling. Loser.monospaced
- The reason you have NO response to anything I said is because you have nothing to respond with. No home of your own, no success, no love no assets.monospaced

What is the universe and why does it exist?
- Why is a silly question.monospaced
- My teacher once said: there are no silly questions, only silly answers.NBQ00
- only assholes without answers.sted
- @monospaced this is what u would you say to your kid if he asks this q?sted
- why is the universe?pango
- You really don't know what the universe is?palimpsest
- Our are you not capable of comprehending the concept of universe?palimpsest
- pali, enlighten me please. What exactly is the universe and why does it exist?NBQ00
- The universe is the space we occupy, make that of it what you will. It's only limited by your understanding.palimpsest
- As per Wikipedia: "The universe is all of space and time and their contents."palimpsest
- Is you don't know what the universe is your shouldn't be asking why it is.palimpsest
- Did you really think I was looking for a standard basic answer like "space and time and their contents"?NBQ00
- Once you understand it, in your own way, why becomes self-evident or unnecessary.palimpsest
- And I agree, this is a silly question.palimpsest
- "looking for a standard basic answer"
You might think you're being deep, but you're just being stupid.palimpsest - you guys must be shitty parents.sted
- The worst. How many do you have?palimpsest
- This is why this even more infuriating because both my 8 & 15 year old have a solid knowledge of the universe and I can have relevant discussions with them of.palimpsest
- My children are smart enough to not dismiss my answer to their question but build upon it.palimpsest
- ok dadNBQ00
- No sweat, buddy.palimpsest
- But good ahead, learn me somin'!
I'm giddy.palimpsest - Considering there is no actual answer to “why” it exists, I would say that the why is what we make of it personally. Any other answer cannot be genuine.monospaced
- I wouldn’t resort to myth or supernatural beings to answer the “why question. That would be bad parenting in my opinion.monospaced
- Why would one even attempt to understand why something is if they can't even understand what it is?palimpsest
- And when you provide the what they're like : "that's too standard".
So you tell me, buddy.palimpsest - the universe is the place that doesn't abide foreskinsGnash
- You’re talking about the Lacanian universe, the symbolic order, the grid that decides what can appear and what gets cut off.palimpsest
- You’re describing the map, I’m describing the terrain.palimpsest
- Both are models trying to describe what can’t be stepped outside of, so both are flawed.palimpsest
- But that’s the interesting part — not the “what” or the “why,” just how we keep mistaking one level for the other.palimpsest

13.787±0.020 billion years[neverscared - the universe is a canvas for consciousness to evolveneverscared
- u can think thats why its there.neverscared
- What about rocks?palimpsest
- the universe is parametricised thats where u have your can find your what answers .. starting from the max planck constant.neverscared
- where u can find your -what answers-neverscared
- Teleology is narrative error.palimpsest
- It's still a stupid question.palimpsest
- Consciousness is a property of the universe, sure. But so is defecation.
It’s a deep property, not an inherent one.palimpsest - rocks have parameters too.... if u see the universe nonlnear its inherent..neverscared
- My rocks question was about the "canvas for consciouness"palimpsest
- But, is your “canvas” a separate layer, or part of the same fabric or more as a metaphor for the whole thing, consciousness included?palimpsest
- I’m trying to see if you see it as two levels or one continuous field.palimpsest
- We can probably agree that consciousness isn’t outside the system. The question is whether it’s descriptive or generativepalimpsest
- I’m fine with consciousness as an emergent property, not a goal. We can study its patterns without calling them intentions.palimpsest
- its a n-dimensions space in theory and in physics as far dimensions as the metric goesneverscared
- It's still a stupid question.palimpsest
- OK,chief. It’s n-dimensional, metric, curved, whatever the model needs.
That doesn’t make it purposeful, just complex. Adding dimensions doesn’t add intent.palimpsest - It's a nice metric flex, but we’re not lost in spacetime here.palimpsest
- sorry .. iam argumenting to absolute here...dont take i too serious iam only freejazzing f.. the stone thing... its maybe entangled in entropy and thermodynamicneverscared
- s... i mean for sure entangled there with the universe... thats to puny for consc. but effective still..neverscared
- isnt complexity and purpose in a way interconncected .. in biology from uni-to multi cell to a brain blasting in high neuron activity numbers...neverscared
- i guess when they finished studying the neutrino we will finaly know and the stoopid question is answered.... or not.. probbaly not...neverscared
- Let’s be clear:
I’m saying the universe is everything that exists. Consciousness arises inside. Remarkable yes, but not its purpose.palimpsest - You’ve called it a “canvas for consciousness,” then said rocks have parameters, then invoked n-dimensional metrics.palimpsest
- That isn’t an argument, it’s a collage. Adding physics buzzwords doesn’t turn teleology into science.palimpsest
- If you think consciousness is inherent, just say it. But don’t pretend “non-linear” or “n-dimensional” makes it so.palimpsest
- It's still a stupid question.palimpsest
- How matter gives rise to consciousness is still not understood. That’s an interesting question.mort_
- There are those that theorise that consciousness is fundamental and not an emergent aspect of matter.mort_
- i said in theory its n dimensions.... i think its nonlinear and not pretend otherwise einsteins general relativity makes no sense if not... therefore evidentlyneverscared
- It's not about emergence (from the matter) but embeddedness.
Consciousness doesn’t rise from matter; it rises from our being within matter...palimpsest - ...from the need to make sense of what we are and what surrounds us.palimpsest
- inherent. ok iam fine with collage.. ... a collage is as in an assemblage of arguments.neverscared

OK, chief.palimpsest - my pleasure.neverscared
- don't throwin' shade at SpinozaGnash
- spinoza is all nice and good. but considering that he didnt even know that anti-matter exists makes this quote where it belongs in the 17th century...neverscared

My man, rest assured that I will lay my head on my pillow tonight without having understood a word you've said & my only wish is you do the same.palimpsest - not really.. einstein view in cosmic religion that in cosmic laws god reveals himself as in spinoza god is cheesy to me too.. maybe ok for its time.. butneverscared

- mean and then read the sentences again and u get it.... thats how it works dummy.neverscared
- We’re in different games. I’m defining the universe; you’re defending a vibe.
No hard feelings, just not the same register. I’m out.palimpsest - Spinozas god isn’t really an argument for any meaningful entity.monospaced

Just thinking about all the plastic I throw away every day.
From food packaging to mail, coffee cups, forks, it's everywhere.
Amazing that there's so much of it everywhere.
- Then try to reduce your waste and plastics. Buy reusable coffee cup to refill and so on.NBQ00
- Just don’t buy plastic one.monospaced
- It's incredible. We've got 2 small bins for organic and for rejected waste, which I take out every one or two weeks. For paper and packaging, I use two large.OBBTKN
- The paper bin fills up and I empty it into the container once a month. The plastic container, I empty it two or three times a week!OBBTKN
- Why is it amazing that the plastic you throw away every day is found everywhere?palimpsest

I'm looking to buy a new computer, and most likely I'll get a refurbished one... I have an offer on one with a killer graphics card for around €1,000.
My current PC is still great, but it's a bit outdated, and I can't update it to Windows 11.
A friend who works as IT will give me MS licenses, and let's see if it lasts another 8 years, lol!
- "I can't update it to Windows 11." thats friggin old.
what card is in that pc for 1k?sted - since a proper "killer graphics card" goes around that price.sted
- A killer for me... RTX 5060, with 8 GB GDDR6OBBTKN
- Yeah, my main pc isn't [easily] upgradeable to Win11 either. I held on to Win7 for years after it sunsetted too though. Still, the clock's ticking.Nairn
