4chan and Twitter: "Define shame"
moomoo11•28m ago
i mean.. i get it.

i'd never do it.

but this is the internet. people are making AI videos of everyone and everything.

no offense, but RW isn't special there are many famous people out there and it just comes with the territory of being famous.

if it is a good AI video and i think it is funny or good, i'll give it a like and move on.

you're free to downvote me if you disagree, because either way, in this case both up and down votes prove me right.

popalchemist•21m ago
yes, AND, if your father was dead and people were desecrating him daily, would this "logic" of yours stop you from feeling that saying something is appropriate?

(No. Come on.)

moomoo11•4m ago
i see AI edits of living people like sama or dario every day, various politicians, actors from various movies, etc.

i see AI edits of people who aren't here anymore like that guy charlie kirk or george floyd (to pick examples from "both" sides), i saw ai edits of alan rickman (guy who played Snape in happy Potter), and there are edits of napoleon or others.

if my dad was a famous actor known by literally 100s of millions of people, that was my dad's choice to bring that on himself. just being real.

people trying to compel other people is just an L take

So your worldview boils down to: if something happens a lot, it can't be bad?

I remember being stunned by Mork from Ork. Then watched as the same guy grew into one of the most iconic and loved humans on Earth. Given the amount of brain share that he earned it's kind of inevitable that so many people try to bring him back. I hope his daughter can also feel the love in it.

But shazbot to anyone who goes rule 34 on him.

willis936•4m ago
There's a few different ways to look at this.

1. You appreciate Robin Williams and were he here right now judging you for how you honor his memory, would he approve?

2. Robin Williams is not here, or anywhere, so then if he were would he approve of you bringing pain to someone he loved dearly? Why would you do that to Robin Williams?

3. Robin Williams is not here, or anywhere, so then nothing matters and I bet I could get some views.

It's difficult to see love in these acts when they seem to be fundamentally selfish. Not at all what Robin Williams would do.

No, they really don't.

in my post i said:

i mean.. i get it. (point 1) i'd never do it. (point 2)

i also said, it is the internet and people will do that because famous people are... famous... and if there's an AI video of a famous person that I do like, i will give it a like.

if Robin Williams was some guy who worked as a cashier at Trader Joe's his whole life nobody would care

maybe Robin Williams should have never been an actor then he'd be unknown to the masses, like 99% of us on HN

Bob Barker and Wilford Brimley both took it pretty hard on Sora.

I don't remember seeing any RW content, but there was some John Lennon stuff. He was mostly in good taste, but I remember seeing something and being, uncomfortable with it.

I don't really see why Bob Barker should be any less protected, then John Lennon or Robin Williams. None of these people were saints.

But there is or at least used to be deference provided to certain people or establishments.

I haven't seen this video that was so upsetting, but perhaps it's not the reanimation so much as the content. Some of it is so obviously satire it's not to be taken seriously.

But, I remember somebody used Bruce Lee as a vessel to spread the gospel on Sora. I had to frown at that, as it was not how he would have behaved.
