i bet this poor meme can't even sleep well in the bed. I'm tall, but this boi, he's really tall. NO way he fits in a bed. Its' really sad. we shouldn't make fun of it.

And that is with him all curled up like an orphan in the winter smh

Edit: omg you guys, so much love

Edit 2: This is fun. I made !tallboi@lemmy.world, come play along!

[-] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago

A rare out loud laugh, such beautiful effort

[-] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

Actually brilliant. I applaud you

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 11 points 9 months ago

I have saved this. It is 100% the best comment I have ever seen on a meme.

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Omg I'm going to blush

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I made !tallboi@lemmy.world If you wanna follow/play along

From the thumbnail I though this was a really long cat with a little green hat lying down as if it had a fever.

Then I thought you added the post images onto the cat's body.

Then at last I zoomed in and turns out there's no cat.

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

I can see it too, now that you say that!

[-] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

I'm still laughing at this hours later, and am documenting this all to share with friends. Without a doubt in my top 5 comments of all time, I love you

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !tallboi@lemmy.world

[-] oce@jlai.lu 4 points 9 months ago

We'll need follow ups on the life of this tall boy.

Lol! Nice!
Giving me some Photoshopbattles vibes.

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Thanks! i really miss PsBattles. I started my own !imageedits@lemmy.zip but nobody knows it exists, and I don't use my lemmy.zip account anymore now that .world is stable again.

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 43 points 9 months ago

Okay but As a native north carolinian and a csi enthustiast, my only true beef with this and any other cinematic representation is... NC doesn't require front plates. Just the rear. So when people filming over in cali are all like, yo, pop this NC plate on the front bumper, I just.. i just lose it. From a continuity standpoint.

The csi zoom screw passes the vibe check for me, but the NC front plate does not lol

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I mean jeez looking for procedural realism in modern crime shows is a lost cause.

[-] vivavideri@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

It's a hill I'm prepared to die on 😂

[-] port888@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

Las Vegas opening, New York investigation, Miami punch line.

[-] Oaksey@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

Enhance!

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 20 points 9 months ago

There's gonna be a day when people don't understand this anymore. Considering the resolution phone cameras have now, it may not even be that much longer.

[-] DrugsMcChrist@lemmy.ml 10 points 9 months ago

I'm wondering if AI can already solve this. I'm not even some crazy AI fanboy, I'm just thinking about the possibility of predictive AI being able to interpret compression artifacts to determine what forms would collapse into a particular pattern.

[-] AeroLemming@lemm.ee 35 points 9 months ago

It's physically impossible to perform any type of analysis on a low resolution video and end up with a massively* upscaled and accurate result no matter what sort of technology you use. AI just guesses from what it can see and what it's been trained on. It's the digital equivalent of hiring an artist to create a higher quality rendition of a picture.

*There are some tricks that can be used to "enhance" images and especially videos, but not so much that it's like having optical zoom. For example, a bunch of noisy video frames of the same thing can be combined to get a less noisy result.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 9 months ago

Basically AI is making an artist's impressions.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

No, but AI can be used to make up "evidence" and falsely convict people through "science", "technology", and "math" that people don't understand but assume is correct because computers or something.

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Have AI upscaled images been allowed as courtroom evidence?

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 13 points 9 months ago

There have been upscaling AIs for a few years, which can take a blurry picture and then e.g. guess that some pixels are probably hair, so it'll swap those out for a custom rendered version of hair.

Sometimes that works well, but you often still have Uncanny Valley stuff going on. I also certainly don't feel like they're better at actually interpreting low-res images than humans, not in their current state.

And well, it should also be noted that if you prime such an AI with an image of the suspect, it will absolutely find a way to make a blurry mess of pixels look like that. So, it certainly shouldn't serve as the only evidence.

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Calm down there, you’re starting to sound all inquisitive & such. Like that creamsicle lookin’ fella from the show.

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

This already happens. See the Samsung S23 Ultra Moon picture marketing that turned out to be a lie.

[-] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

There has been for some time AI image and video resolution upscaling for some time, and it works very very well. Allows zoom and "enhance" but not to the ridiculous scale we see here of course. But you can take standard CCTV footage and 4k upscale it and zoom. Its very impressive.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Red Dwarf did a parody of CSI.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That was not a parody of CSI but of Blade Runner. The whole mini was packed with Blade Runner references.

[-] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

That was beautiful

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 12 points 9 months ago

Honestly seems that a lot of crime shows would become more realistic if they just had a psychic on the squad.

[-] JustAManOnAToilet@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Gotta get Daphne Moon

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Or Diana Troi

[-] Lutra@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

found this in video form.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAvUFD68NEQ

[-] slampisko@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Thanks, I was getting sore thumb from all the scrolling

[-] c0mpost@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 9 months ago

I'm so glad to see this again
