i’ve loved this project for months! perhaps one day, we’ll reach its platonic ideal, as demonstrated by this mockup she did awhile back:

There’s a lamb souvlaki in a piece of pita bread on there, probably close enough right?

In a good world, real-time lip reading AI would be massively assistive to the deaf.

I saw someone getting the caption devices at a theater recently. I’m sure it varies by location/chain, but at this one (an AMC in a large metropolitan area), it looked like they were mounted on long bendable neck thing that you stick in the cup holder, so you could possibly have it in your line of vision while looking…

I’ve been wondering how those work. I just read that the text can be transmitted to a “device.” I think I’d have trouble looking at the device and the screen at the same time. But another one describes a pair of glasses that you wear and the captioning appears inside the lenses. That sounds very cool.

Seriously. That’s a brilliant idea and very necessary. My SO is losing his hearing and it’s a constant challenge. I considered learning sign language but I know he won’t.
There is so much good we could be doing with our tech but instead we’re surveilling everyone 24/7 and creating a disabling level of parnoia. And…

I would love to see subtitles/captioning in all movies shown in theatre. I know that some people hate that, find it distracting. Maybe watching and reading is a skill that you learn, because I have no problem missing the visual subtleties while there is text superimposed. It’s frustrating when everything sounds…

I accidentally bought tickets for a closed caption performance. It was in a smaller theater and there was no need to blast the speakers because it was intended for a hearing impaired audience. My experience was fantastic. I may seek out that type of experience for future films of his.

That’s how most concerts work. That’s not how the Eras tour works.

Yes, but it’s a cup of ice cream that will tell you all about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Eh, who cares about someone buying the card? I want the gigantic ring prop they used for close ups in the movies.

“ A video of the bear, named Angela, was posted on social media”

Anyone else annoyed that the thing is in the case the wrong way ‘round?

On the other hand, no one would’ve expected Texas to have an environmental regulator, so who’d bother looking for one?

I need a poster of that.

Take this for what it’s worth, because I’ve yet to watch the show

I’m cool with the car chases and explosions in a Michael Bay directed Transformers movie. I’m not cool with the racist jokes, sexist jokes, dick & fart jokes, Autobots literally pissing on other characters, in-your-face product placement, and plots that make zero sense in a Michael Bay directed Transformers movie.

Agreed. I’ll skip that episode. Utterly DESPISE musicals. The writers must be getting desperate for material.

Controversial take (without having seen it yet): this is dumb, doesn’t belong in Star Trek, and shouldn’t have been done.

Gotta love a Star Trek that allows itself to be goofy and so good at the same time. And Lt Kirk is spending too much on the Enterprise...
