    Do you think there are ethical uses of AI video generation in politics?

    Jump

  • As much as I strongly (very strongly) dislike AI-generated anything, I can at least acknowledge that there can be ethical uses of it assuming you hold your nose and ignore the very likely unethical means by which the model(s) were trained.

    That said, what you described would definitely not be ethical IMO. I see where you're coming from, I do, but I've never been one to fight disinformation/lies with more disinformation/lies. Beyond the slippery slope, it's still operating in bad faith and not something I could ever consider ethical let alone welcome.

  • Are Combo Convection/Microwave Ovens Legit or a Gimmick?

    Jump

  • Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn't just approve - he actually helped design it.

    The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.

  • Are Combo Convection/Microwave Ovens Legit or a Gimmick?

    Jump

  • I'm not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven't used my full size oven in the 3 months I've had this one.

    The "Trivection Oven" (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

    Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I've not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.

  • Bryan Cranston kind-of? He had some minor movie roles before television and then larger movie roles after.

    Will Ferrell, technically. Plus most of the other SNL actors who started there and did films later (though many of those were based on SNL skits). Tina Fey, though, plays it straight. She started as a writer, joined the cast of SNL, and did TV and movies later. Granted, I wouldn't call any of them "movie stars".

  • I do wonder what the refresh rate is like on these. I've been daily driving a Minimal Phone for a few months now. While I like it, it definitely took some getting used to. While it's actually quite snappy, it feels abysmally slow even compared to the Cat S22 Flip it replaced (which is a low-end Android smartphone in a flip phone form factor).

    I also wonder why they bothered with a camera on it. The camera on the Minimal is extremely "meh", but the thing that makes it mostly useless is the refresh rate of the e-ink. You never know if you got a blurry mess of a picture or what. The firmware will put the screen into "fast refresh / low fidelity" mode to try to improve it, but it's still a roll of the dice when trying to take any kind of photo. About the only thing it's good for is scanning QR codes.

    I think billionaires shouldn't exist because we should have appropriate levels of taxation and a "maximum wage" law.

    Lemmy thinks billionaires shouldn't exist and are setting up guillotines.
