Apartment gave us a "48 hour notice of intent to enter and presumed abandonment"

This notice is "delivered Nov 10th" (and stamped as such)

With an entry date of November 13th

Guys that's...that's not 48 hours. That's 72 hours

This is where I post from by the way

I TOOK OUT THE TRASH BLIZZARD C'MON I WANNA CASH IN MY GOOD KARMA

Roommate: Hey can you do [list of chores]

Me: Yeah lemme just finish this quest

But I wonder if it's worth converting all my criticisms and concerns to some kind of video essay.

All I hear about from tech circles is how "good" it is for "productivity" but very little about using it for *art* or *history* or any of those other things that it has ruined

Almost wondering if I should do a follow up to my previous video essay

I had to scrap my entire next video so far and re-do it *bare metal* because 86Box now accepts AI slop commits. Which has delayed me immensely

(just *fixing* my bare metal machines could probably be a video in of itself)

eBay electronics vulture be even *vaguely* helpful challenge (impossible)

WHY IS MS PAINT *CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET*

WHAT THE FUCK

But also I wanna be clear: I *will* fucking suck a dick through a garden hose if someone could hook me up with rips of all 38 of the MST3k DVD volumes. That shit is LITERALLY a couple thousand dollars to purchase now

I don't want a torrent file. Just running MakeMKV on each DVD and then putting them somewhere I can rsync them. I've got plenty enough compute power to *properly* re-encode them and make a torrent (and IA upload)

To be clear. I genuinely don't...know how "AI video upscaling" actually *works* (and I'm...not about to dive down the rabbit hole and find out)

Okay fedifolk. I need y'alls opinions (boosts would also be massively appreciated)

I need to acquire all of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a "not absolutely garbage quality" format.

No complete MST3k DVD box set exists. Buying all 38 DVD volumes would cost somewhere around $2,000

There's a guy on YouTube (and Internet Archive) who's been "remastering" the episodes, allegedly from DVD.

But he's "AI upscaled" them to 1080P/4K and also 60 FPS videos

Tl;dr of the question: Does "AI upscaled video" fall under the same blanket "fuck AI" ethically for folks as LLM's? I'm not actually clear how different (if at all) the use cases are

Hey

You got games on your phone?

My sister, who is by all accounts (read: literally every person who has been subjected to her) the worst person imaginable used to snarl at me when I'd stop to pet dogs

"You're not a CHILD anymore leave that person alone"

Fuck you, I'm petting that dog

Two minutes later:

Shout out to this guy in Deadlock who got so *terminally fucking mad*

That he googled me mid match to ridicule me for "being bad"

Somehow I'm not the meanest critic of Dave's slop

This guy sent Dave to the fucking mat holy shit

I wanna make it infinitely clear that I do not, and will not support trashing someone making a "bad youtube video" (even someone like Linus of Tech Tip)

Art is still art. Even if it's flawed

But if I'm criticizing the slop machine? Well, then I'm not really making fun of "their work" now am I?
