I'd like to say that weirder stuff has been done in the past by Disney, but I can't remember one. Still, not something I cannot imagine them doing.

One thing doesn't preclude the other...

Even funnier is that DC improvised the Death of Superman, they were ready to get him married that year, but received the mandate that they had to delay the event because Lois&Clark was on TV and the higher-ups wanted the comic event to be simultaneous with the wedding on the series. So the...

An anecdote I like a lot -I was very young at the time, but had the chance to talk to people involved-, in my country, back when the Death of Superman happened in the comics, it became a sensationalist news piece and many local radio and TV stations wanted to do their own clips on it. The...

Hello, today is Epiphany! I hope everybody who celebrates it has a happy day. As for the rest of the world, well its Monday, so I hope you are fine at least? I mean I don't like Mondays very much...

Speaking of this stuff, is there an AI that can take my voice and tell me the notes -and maybe the rhythm- I'm singing in?

Yeah, I was so sure I was going to make it I had stopped trying to avoid it. I shouldn't have let my guard down.

I didn't expect it to sound while browsing Netflix. There's a Wham documentary and when I passed over it, it played... I was on easy mode! How could I lose? I'm out... u.u

I've kinda indulged in that irony before. Maybe for the first time in another forum a long time ago. Apparently in the old Expanded Universe there were tales that before them splitting, the proto-jedi/sith practiced both sides of the light, taking turns to meditate in special places connected to...

@Jfdlsjfd That sounds interesting. Ethical training is the main barrier to me wanting to use AI generation. It definitely has its uses.

Well, as far as I remember, I was taught that expert systems are a form of AI. Perhaps the oldest or simplest. I'm not going to say when, but it was not precisely yesterday.

Well I guess I should post my ideas. A tip.- Go to late 1984 and convince Thomas Rattigan to remain at Pepsi and reject that job being offered to him. The arguments are that the board chairman would get very jealous of him, make his life a hell, unjustly fire him, and force him to sue in order...

I've had this game in my head for weeks. Imagine you can time travel just 4 times: The first time, you can only talk to one person, warn them of something about to happen, presuade them of changing their future decision, or just give them advice. The second time, you can make a gift to...

I think I'm going to make it to Christmas, but I'm like playing on easy mode. It's been a few years since the practical totality of malls shifted to cheap covers from no-name singers for music. And I barely listen to radio except for news anymore. Besides, my favorite version is the one by Cascada.

Today I learned, while listening to a "Dark stuff" podcast, that Chernobyl/Chornobyl means wormwood/absinthe/ajenjo. And that someone placed a memorial featuring the biblical third angel with a trumpet from the Book of Revelation in-site in 2011...

You forgot more and more overworked and underpaid.

Also, cgi has gotten expensive. More and more movies use it, so there's more demand for it. All of this while sfx studios cannot afford to dedicate exclusively to one project, not with an evergrowing backlog. Everything demands more time and processing while studios keep rushing. Another...

I think I used to have one. But I haven't used it in over a decade and don't even remember which email I used for it, or if I still have it. Even then, I only used it to keep track of feeds -to lurk-, so I guess I'm off the platform.

I don't think I follow any blog nowadays, but some good stuff about comics is in Tales from the Database from Mile High Comics Tales From the Database - Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski It is a good source for comic history. Some highlights, the story behind the near bankruptcy of Marvel and its...

I like some of the stuff AI makes possible. It is very cool for data processing and analysis. They used neural networks to isolate John Lennon's voice in an old tape that they could go on to mix into a finished song. It also being able to upscale pictures so they look good on modern TVs is also...
