First you bait them in with the marketable, high quality Zelda Challenge content, then you STICK 'EM with the 700k word Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Fanfiction.

In reality, it's probably fine, it's probably just using the existing frames and that's why it can only generate a second of new frames total. But the water has been so poisoned by bad-faith actors and developers that I'm hesitant to use GOOD tools in 2025 because I can't trust them! BLEH!

SimplySnaps @simplysnaps.bsky.social · 26d

I tested it with a few gameplay clips, and some video I recorded on my own. It's really impressive stuff. But the dumb "AI" branding is unnecessary, and I can't trust the framework this neat tool was built on. I can't trust it's not using some stolen art to make my clip last another few frames.

this technology could exist ethically without the bullshit bubble it's generating. this technology HAS existed for decades. If you've ever "slowed down" a clip, the video likely generated fake blending frames with motion blur to smoothen it. This is old stuff, it's the "AI" tag that's new.

it's really a shame because Adobe Premiere's new "extend this clip for another few frames with generated visuals" feature is SO cool in theory and would genuinely be a game changer (if you've edited videos, you know how a few frames can make a cut come together) but because it's fuckin' AI I hate it

I haven't scrolled in days. I've come on here to post, then immediately leave. It's honestly so refreshing not being bombarded with dumbfuck opinions from dumbfucks I'll never meet. Like, if my friend says some dumb shit, we can work through it. I can't be losing energy on the entire population.

The length of the chapters is because I wanted to target 10,000 words due to that feeling like a half-hour episode of television. It's about the number of scenes and events that feels like a full episode. Sometimes I went overboard, and those were like "hour-long specials," etc.

Anyway the chapter list is literally too long to fit on screen. Each of these is 10k or more words. I'm terrified by my pandemic era writing.

Chapters 49 and 50 combine to 72,148 words, or 13.6% of the entire story.

My personal favorite is Chapter 43 which is just randomly 47,000 words. An entire novel crammed into a chapter. I had a lot to say.

Some fun, fucky facts about my fanfiction:

The first part of the story "Wayward Baby" is 531,347 words and 50 chapters. But the chapters start getting way longer near the end.

You'd think you're at the halfway point at chapter 25, right?

Chapters 41-50, are 220,483 words, or 49.5% of the story.

Alright, that's everything. Now nobody can tell me to "get good" when I vent frustrations about this very beautiful, annoying game.

I think a large number of games outsource their stories to YouTube theorists, and we let them get away with it.

Why write something that could have holes and require revisions when you can scatter puzzle pieces on the table and let teenagers explain the story you didn't write to children?

Somehow the Xbox I bought in 2020 has appreciated in value. This is literally bonkers, pardon my French. Imagine improving your hardware or having exclusive games. Sony and Nintendo are doing actual work! They're MAKING something. This is embarrassing.

In protest, Jimmy Fallon should do an entire episode where he silently stares at the camera, not uttering one word or interviewing one person. It'd be a powerful message about censorship, and incidentally the best episode of Jimmy Fallon.

Disclaimer: "Respect" does not mean agree, and does not mean I won't fight tooth and nail against them. I'm using "respect" in the classic sense here, where I acknowledge their principles and how they stick to them.

SimplySnaps @simplysnaps.bsky.social · Sep 18

I still think leftist progressives are the closest to justice and truth in our system, but I can at least RESPECT people who genuinely believe different things. I have no respect for cowards who sit right in the middle to avoid trouble, and will always be just a little to the left of the far right.

"I have various different beliefs built on years of consideration, and these beliefs fall across the political spectrum." Principled, well-read. A generous lover.

"I work backwards from the fetishization of Centrism and will believe whatever puts me in the least controversial position" Coward.
