He looks like a movie villain announcing the next Hunger Games.

Tis ok. Scrolling past this image on a phone you don’t really notice (i almost didn’t). Harold Ramis is close to correct.

Still think the original OP could have just used AI to cut out the background of the movie frame instead.

Was it necessary to make AI Ghostbusters?

Ideal time to add: “Until we meat again”

Was watching the Digital Foundry review of this tech. They seemed impressed, the people in the comments were scathing

Everyday I think things can’t get worse. That maybe this will be the breaking point. But no.

The main Resident Evil example is just awful. It’s like an Instagram filter.

It’s worse than that guy who has been going around photoshopping “Ugly” female game characters to make them look hotter.

I hate this reality.

Product list starts on page 37.

Edit/note: I probably didn’t make my comment very clear. I’m aware it’s 1600 being laid off. More that I didn’t realise that Atlassian had 16k people in total. 16,000 people making their products progressively worse.

Even if their company only had 1600 ppl, I’d still say they were wasteful.

About 16k workers? How!?

What a waste of human effort, time and resources. All to make a few bad products, worse.

Indeed, that’s why I mentioned a PC monitor first

Well what about a PC monitor? You can get u to like 43" and beyond. Obviously they are great for gaming as well.

The other very impractical mention - after TVs starting adding ads, cameras and microphones, I switched to a 2nd hand projector. Most have no smart features.

All you need is a white or off- white wall to protect on to. And the ability to block some light coming into the room.

Downsides:

• They can be bulky and noisy. Particularly the 4k ones
• might need separate speakers
• Not as low latency as a tv but models do come with VRR
• bulbs do get darker from prolonged use (and aren’t always cheap to replace)
• you might need separate speakers
• and there are the trailing cables
• And you’ll never get the inky blacks of oleds. But for picture size and immersion for the cost, they are basically unbeatable.

Some can project from a coffee table.

For tv series and YouTube like content, I use a laptop. Then for big movies, I use the projector and 5.1 sound system (mostly 2nd hand as well.)

Same thing with me remembering names.

If I meet someone new, and they tell me their name, 95% chance I’ve forgotten it within seconds. It gets awkward after a while, so often I ask them what their surname is, then go look them up on say LinkedIn (or in the past - Facebook.)

Great with faces. But I even forget the names of super famous actors and musicians. Then I forget the name of a film they’ve been in, so I have to ask my wife.

My brain then has to go through this process of where I describe a film that the actor was in, and or the name of the character.

Or forget the film name, but know the character’s name.

E.g. Me - “Err Severus Snape”.

Wife - “you mean Alan Rickman”

Me - “Yeah, but he’s a terrorist, who’s taken over a skyscraper.”

Wife - “Die Hard”

Me - “But not Alan Rickman’s character. The main guy”

Wife - “Bruce Willis?”

Me - “OMG yes, Bruce Willis, how did I forget his name!”

It’s also the names of places I’ve visited as well. Might have been there 100 times, but it’ll just drop out of my memory at random.

“What’s the name of the place where we met all those dogs. Has a Waterfall. Might have been during summer?”

I hate it. Could describe every detail of someone or a place. Names - almost never remember.

1 - 100% chance of a metallic taste, that lingers after use. 3 as well probably.

4 is the only practical option, just need to use it with your left hand.
