I just search for an AI upsacling website, quickly upload images to the first 5 of them, and choose the best result

Not perfect, but it’s a better quality :)

Nope, this is the best quality that GPT 4o produce

When I need to increase the resolution, I usually load the generated art into AI upscalers and apply sharper filters

I was thinking more about the Eclipse scene from Berserk

iteration 9 is what I posted :)

I like to take some web comics, and push them through multiple iterations of AI until they totally fucked up e.g.

It turns out that AI doesn’t understand tooth shapes at all) I made 30 requests for corrections, but it still couldn’t change wisdom teeth to baby teeth… meh

You know what this reminds me of? Commercials from Robocop:

However those nations instead stayed at the top of the polluters and emitters lists - and they are still there.

huh?

but has a blind spot in how it can be gamed if a few large companies conspire in keeping the electricity a mix.

Interesting, thank you for insights, is there anybody on youtube or podcasts who provide any analysis on this topic for EU?

As a result electricity prices for private and industrial consumers are high

Does that mean, that it may be cheaper for them in advance, to build their own solar plant + large energy storage? e.g. with 3-5 years ROI

China the enemy though, right?

Their success in renewable energy doesn’t change the reality that China continues to disregard human rights, democracy, and freedom of speech.

So we can give credit for the renewable energy progress, maybe copy few ideas, but that’s about it.

Did you actually listen to the video? They explicitly mention that capitalist countries do subsidize renewable energy, but it’s unreliable due to political fluctuations. Subsidies can be abruptly discontinued with a change in administration (e.g. like new US administration cuts funding). The main point of the video is the investment behavior of energy companies regarding renewable energy, and why, from a Return on Investment perspective, renewables are still not competitive.

hmm, any suggestions? I don’t want to use youtube
