I know this is a hot take, but hopefully people can be a bit open minded.

I don’t think AI video creation is that lacking in human touch and art, at least not compared to the AI outrage type of person’s POV.

If you have tried a video generator, it’s kind of impressive and also kind of garbage.

To have a good edit, you need to be able to explain artistic concepts in detail to the AI prompt.

Yes, you can put nonsense prompts and get a return, but it’s utter garbage.

Right now, I just view it as a productivity tool still. Artists give it a lot of detail to get started and can come in behind the scenes to touch up, enhance, etc.

Perhaps I’m wrong though. Is there any examples of really good quality AI videos from someone who is just artistically ignorant?

I’ve been asking myself for a couple years now on a philosophical level…

How many people out there want social programs because they actually care about others

vs

how many people want social programs but are actually just projecting their insecurities and want that for themselves while contributing nothing towards it

It sucks that all my confirmation biases lean towards the latter.

Bonds, gold, silver, etc- it’s all dramatic noise. All western nations are stuck with the results of central banking mistakes of the past.

My guess is we will see some type of world war or new western nations created from revolutions before any of the current leaders choose to adopt a hard money again.

speculation that the venezuelan government has 600k bitcoin if the us gov seizes it they should give it to the people ~28 million venezuelans thats 2.1 million sats per person

99% chance that speculation is false. A poor, corrupted nation simply isn’t going to stealthily acquire that much bitcoin.

Let’s put it this way. 3 years ago before Venezuela was in headlines, would you have guessed they’d have half that much? No, it’s ludicrous. We’re just in the middle of a hype news cycle.

saylor seems to be advocating for a hard fork that forces people to move coin. burning those who do not comply. this breaks the fundamental social contract and value prop of bitcoin: sovereign owner...

I don’t believe he was really advocating on this particular clip.

Sounds more like talking shit about future hypotheticals with the assumption that type of fork is approved by the community and happens.

Perhaps other parts of the conversation would change my perspective.
