I was driving my daughter home from nursery last week and an advert came in the radio watch was essentially:

"How has your day been today? A bit boring?"
*sounds of helicopters and massive amounts of machine gun fire*
"I bet you weren't hanging out a helicopter firing a machine gun... Join the army"

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

No one cares about saving bandwidth on a video call, except possibly the corporations that are real penny-pinchers, who may not even want to spend time (and therefore money) calculating whether the bandwidth saved is worth the cost of purchase.

There's a fascinating bit of cultural analysis that could be done looking at all the different military branches/countries and how they try and portray themselves. A lot tend to focus on perseonal potential and the drive to "be the best" but its amazing to me how the navy and air force ones are almost entirely non-violent. I think the UK must be really short of military engineers, there's a navy ad thats basically "if you can fix a bike you can learn to fix a car. And once you can fix a car you can learn to fix a ship engine. And once you can fix a ship engine you can learn to fix a massive gently caress-off cannon".

There was also one a few years back that tried to make logistics sexy, and it very nearly succeeded.

Suddenly I'm wondering how long it will be until some detail of a video is used as criminal evidence, only for it to turn out to be just an AI's best guess and not anything that was ever really there.

It’s happened with conventional video compression already.

I can’t find the case right now, but it was something to the effect of eyewitnesses say the guy made a small gesture and it’s not captured on the video at all. It repeats pixels from the previous frame because the computer decided it wasn’t significant. Or maybe there was no movement and the eyewitnesses are mistaken. Who knows?

thats already how most forensic evidence works, from stuff like bite marks having never been proven and its just some guy guessing to dna matching being done by computers with no record of how it decided there was a match
