One Piece - 146 [1080p]
The Optoma HD146X ($549) is Optoma's least expensive 1080p home entertainment projector. Compared with other entry-level projectors, such as the BenQ TH585 and the ViewSonic PX701HD, it lacks a few features. Most notably, it has only one HDMI port instead of two, and there's no image shift to match the picture position to the screen for easier setup. However, it has the same 3,500-ANSI-lumen brightness rating. And when all three are compared as they come out of the box, without setting adjustments, the HD146X delivers the best balance of color accuracy, contrast, black level, and three-dimensionality for video and movies.
One Piece - 146 [1080p]
Unlike its head-to-head competitors from BenQ and ViewSonic, which have 1,920-by-1,200-pixel DLP chips used for 1080p resolution with room for image shift, the HD146X uses a 1,920-by-1,080-pixel DLP chip. Like them, it has a six-panel color wheel. The HD146X's wheel is red-yellow-green-cyan-white-blue (RYGCWB), with a white panel to increase brightness, and yellow and cyan panels to help minimize the color errors the white panel causes.
The HD146X wasn't designed primarily as a gaming projector, but it offers a short enough lag to satisfy most gamers. With Enhanced Gaming mode on, it clocked in at 16.4ms on my Bodnar meter at 1080p 60Hz. Its low weight also makes it light enough to carry from room to room or to a friend's house. Just make sure to pack portable speakers too.
The battery of the RE is 820mAh and can take 1,200 16MP photos or 1 hour and 40 minutes of 1080p footage. Other specs include 8GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot (up to 128GB), Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. The latter two are used to connect the RE with your smartphone so that you can share and sync photos and videos. It works with the HTC Zoe app, too.
To our knowledge, this is the first study providing a long-term follow-up (up to seven years) of 146 HD patients assessing their clinical and plasmatic IGF-1 and insulin levels. Our study gives a piece of information on the impact of IGF-1 and insulin on cognition in HD. IGF-1 levels over time predict and are associated to the decline of cognitive function, unlike insulin. The temporality between IGF-1 resistance and neurodegeneration in HD remains to be explored. In addition, it would be interesting to further investigate the role of the downstream PIK3/Akt pathway in resistance to IGF-1 on one hand and in the cognitive decline in HD on the other hand.
I really like art myself. I would never say I'm good at it but I love to sketch images off of Google or come up with my own fun comic strips based off of my interests (I'm currently doing stuff exactly like that with Splatoon for instance). So to see this basically come out of nowhere over the past few months (especially with how it tries to exploit real-life artists who actually put in the work to make their pieces as unique and beautiful as possible)....yeah, it makes me incredibly angry. I really do hope this stays a fad and nothing more (minus stuff like the intentionally goofy DALL-E generations, those are more than OK in my book).
I have similar feelings for game art, however, it is a little different in the sense that assets in games can be just a means to an end serving the whole (that is, the game) and not necessarily appreciated as individual pieces of art.
@Rambler Yes! I was sad not to get to dive more into the bias inherent in AI art, but I let the interviews lead me in this piece (and it was already hella long), and what we mostly ended up talking about was the copyright issues! Maybe a future piece focusing on the bias would be really interesting, when I've recovered from this one ?
AI art is memeable, but it never should be considered real art, as that would undermine the actual work which goes into making real artwork. It lacks the "soul" that usually goes into a piece which is made by an actual person. The life experiences, the struggle of making the piece, and the work that goes into the piece. All gone with AI. Unless AI somehow learns on a fundamental level how to be human, I'll never be able to see it's art as genuine art.
@everynowandben Even then, most of that is just placing prompts through a computer and letting the computer steal other's art in order to make the new piece. Sure, you do the clean-up, but the core of the piece is the computer stealing other's work to make something from it.
As a published indie author, AI art has been a godsend. Ive been using it a lot through Midjourney and DollE 2. As long as you clarify the art is AI generated, I see it as completely ethical.What a lot of people don't understand is that many of these AI bots don't "copy and paste" pieces of others' art. It studies the noise and patterns of other art, down to the pixels and color combinations then truly does build something new from scratch.
I do however think that copyright issues need to be sorted out first before this becomes a big thing. But then again, people like to make an argument as to why pirating games isn't theft since nothing gets stolen so people might actually be okay with an AI "stealing pieces of art" ...
As for AI, art is always in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't matter who or what made it. Some will find it boring, as you do, and others will look at the same piece and feel something from it. The viewer completes the art, so the saying goes. The fact you find something boring still lends to it being an art piece; it made you feel something regardless. We are attached to positive outcomes, which leads us to ignore such results.
In the end, AI can and will produce meaningful art that people enjoy, but it will go side-by-side with the handmade. In fact, I think it's going to improve handmade art, because so many people are going to put forth more effort to "combat" the AI art pieces.
I have had people, both kids and adults, who draw using cartoons as the model asking my opinion of their work. While it can be a good way to start most never move beyond that stage because nothing is really learned from the process. The picture they are copying has already had the hard work done for them. The trick is seeing something and translating that image into lines that are the basis of any piece of representative artwork. They are merely copying the lines.
Photo realism is a big right now. It takes great skill and I did a couple of pieces in that genre to prove to myself I could do it, but it feels lifeless to me. Much of art relies on the imperfections the artist translates into their work. I always try to used candid photos of people, especially children as again, there is more life to them, a spark that's missing when a posed sitting is used.
I've never seen a piece of AI art that can get anywhere near the work of a good human. I understand that non-artists will feel empowered by the software but that was true when Photoshop first came out too.

@SonOfDracula I respectfully disagree. The person coding the AI creates a tool that mixes and matches art. Without those pieces of art AI has nothing to learn. The coder, therefore, has to use other people's art, to feed it to the machine, if he is not skilled in creating art themselves. It's a different set of skills, as you said. Let me give you an example. Is a person working in a paint factory responsible for the art that is made with the paint he mixes? I would say no. He does provide the tools, which is a skill, but he isn't involved directly in the outcome of the piece.
And yes, you are right, not every piece of art moves everyone, I would even tend to admit that feeling stronger emotions towards art is something that people strive for, but few actually succeed consistently. I do not want to disagree for the sake of disagreeing, or stirring up any negativity, I also do not think of AI as of an enemy, more like a tool. I am captivated by the new technology and I adore the new gadgets and gizmos. But at the end of the day, I still think that AI is nothing more than a tool that won't think for themselves, no matter what. A tool that is adorable, but not worth adoration.
