Sigh. A YouTube creator I like used an AI generated thumbnail for their most recent video. I gently commented that he should reconsider using AI thumbnails, and a still from the video would much better showcase his art (he is a historic documentary filmmaker and photographer).
Replies to my post quickly degenerated into people suggesting that I meant he should use MORE AI art, and the creator replying that the thumbnail was not generated and was a hand picked still from the video (YouTube showing me something different?). And finally I was asked if I am actually a bot or just replying to the wrong video.
Sometimes I just want to pull the covers over my head and cry.
Does this thumbnail seem AI generated to you? Is YouTube just randomly replacing thumbnails now, and only showing it to some users?
Mmmmm…freshly washed berries next to lovely flowering plant . Big thanks to my big brother for passing down his beautiful table; we love it. We took the family van on a 1200 mile road trip to pick up the dining room set, and gave our daughter many hours of driving lessons on the way. She will be ready to take her test in no time.
I have so many cool electronics and #retrocomputing projects on and off my bench. Many days I just stare at my hands and wish my brain would kick in. I’m sorry I’m not posting more photos and stories. Thanks for sticking with me. I appreciate this community.
My Commodore 1571 floppy drive spindle has been grinding and not working consistently. I finally disassembled it today only to find what I would describe as tar where the old grease degraded. Yuck. Time to clean and lubricate.

Still fighting with this 41 year old 1541 to get it running smoothly. I am beginning to hate the spindle washer assembly.

Working through a bit of a puzzle on my childhood C64. Its composite video output is too “hot” and wreaks havoc on my bench LCD TV. It’s fine on the 1084. I’m comparing to my backup board (same but REV B) which works fine.
