And in the video, Robert said, and this was transcribed, transposed, transcribed by John, the general rule for pixel density is that if you multiply the pixel pitch by 10, that will give you the viewing distance in feet only.
where individual pixels are indistinguishable.
John, apparently you said the general rule is if you multiply the pixel pitch by 10, you get the distance where you can't see the pixels anymore.
So 0.9 millimeters means about nine feet away.
John, where did you go wrong there?
I'm trying to be inclusive and no good deed goes unpunished.
yeah uh speaking of member specials a little while ago i think it was a couple months ago we did atp movie club war games and this is kind of apropos because the whole of the internet and that is not a complaint i'm glad that you all did the whole of the internet sent us a youtube video from dave's garage where he bought basically one of the display units i don't know how to describe this that generated those screens in the bunker those like um those i don't know how can i verbalize this
All right, we're going to talk about AI for a few minutes.
This is still part of follow-up.
We're going to do this a little bit in a funky way.
What we're going to do is I'm going to introduce a couple things, and John, I think you would like to say a couple things, but then I'm going to plow through a whole bunch of stuff, and there'll be a bunch of links in the show notes, and we're going to try to get through all of the...
stuff that i need to get through to like set the stage and then we'll i'll let you two loose to have a conversation about it um but bear with us for a minute because it really requires a whole bunch of foundation before we can really have a conversation about it so uh first and foremost
On behalf of all three of us, we all apologize.
Genuinely, we all apologize for not having disclosed past or future sponsorships from AI companies.
I like to think we do a pretty good job of this.
We try really hard to do a good job of this, but we 100% whiffed on this one.
And so that is our bad and the offending parties have been sacked.
But we should note that Google Gemini has been a past sponsor.
Anthropic has been a past sponsor, will be a future sponsor.
