I promise I will read the article, but I am convinced already there is a problem here already based on the photo of the guy in the preview image.

Calling this line from McCarthy a "clunky" "mistake" based on "aversion to punctuation" ayfk, did an AI write this (probably)

A Beautiful Day for a Neighbor: Tom Noonan (1951-2026) A personal tribute to a great actor, a great friend, and a gentle giant of a man.

"I looked up, and up, and up, and up, until I saw Tom Noonan's face, looking down at me with a curious expression. 'What did you say your name was?' he asked." A remembrance of my friend Tom, lost too soon. www.rogerebert.com/mzs/a-beauti...

Watching the first free practice of the new F1 season, and I think it’s really interesting that the cars don’t work this year

It’s been so long since the car and engine specs have changed so much in F1, this season is going to be hilarious

Part of the disconnect is of course that techbros insist that a total revolution in the way that software is made is taking place, but anyone who uses software can observe that software continues to suck more than ever before

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

Hi/Jack Season 2 sucked shit. Season one wasn’t good either but it was significantly more entertaining than this. Idris Elba has made some decisions with his career!

"I bought another Super Nintendo. I wonder how many I've bought so far? I used to play when I was still active, but I was busy with matches and didn't have time. One of my dreams was to buy a white house with a view of the ocean after I retired and play games all day. I'm starting to do that now. First of all, I'll play Final Fantasy, but I also want to play Mario World and Sim Earth. I need a CRT TV."

From Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Vol. 3: The Captive Castaways

Mickey, covered in chains, looks down at a tube that rolled over to him, Opium written on the side.

Mickey: Good gosh! Opium!

"I don't have the yips with respect to boots on the ground" just makes me think he's going to handle this war about as well as Rick Ankiel pitched in the Game 1 of the 2000 NLDS.

1. This is despicably evil.
2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.

Really depends on the beers and tacos. 24 Corona Lites and Taco Bell Crunchy Tacos? Absolutely I could do that. Probably couldn't run 10 miles in one go right now, but spread over two or three sessions over 24 hours? Heck I'd do it for $50,000

A screenshot from Dolby about DolbyVision 2.  It reads:

Content Intelligence 
Content Intelligence introduces new tools to better bridge the creative suite to the viewer's living room. This foundation allows Dolby Vision 2 to authentically and automatically optimize your TV to deliver a more captivating picture based on what you're watching and where you are watching. And with Al capabilities, Dolby Vision 2 will intelligently adapt to give the best presentation of the content fine-tuned for your device and viewing environment.
Content Intelligence includes: β€’ Precision Black reduces consumer frustration that the image is "too dark" by making it crystal clear and improving clarity in any viewing environment without compromising
artistic intent. β€’ Light Sense fine-tunes picture quality through advanced ambient light detection and new
reference lighting data from the content source to optimize your TV for the ideal viewing
experience. β€’ Sports and Gaming Optimization introduce new enhancements such as white point

Another screenshot from Dolby Vision 2. It reads:

Building on Content Intelligence, Dolby Vision 2 introduces new tone-mapping that takes
advantage of modern TV improvements. Today's TVs are brighter and more colorful than ever. With bi-directional tone mapping, creators now have new controls that let them make the most of these enhanced displays. This allows high-performance TVs to deliver higher brightness,
sharper contrast, and deeply saturated colors while preserving the artist's creative vision.
Going Beyond HDR Dolby Vision 2 expands the capabilities of Dolby Vision beyond HDR. This includes features like Authentic Motion, the world's first creative driven motion control tool to make scenes feel
more authentically cinematic without unwanted judder on a shot-by-shot basis.

Dolby Vision 2 is just kind of giving up on the idea of a standard image, huh? If you're using AI and an ambient light sensor to recalibrate the black level, whitepoint, and motion smoothing on the fly, you aren’t β€œpreserving the artist’s creative vision,” you just aren’t.
