Linkin Park - Lost, the fan's music video

 

A.I. is a controversial topic currently in the world of artistry. Most of the artists are adamant to recognize the said technique as a valid art. The most argument from them is that A.I. is using other's art to generate art. The said usage may infringe copyrighted art.

Linkin Park uses A.I. in their official MV. They used kaiber.ai to generate the video animation. Based on the product description, kaiber.ai is using the A.I. to generate animation-style. 

The A.I. seems using stable diffusion to generate the sequence of images. That's why the animation is not consistent. Corridor Digital discussed this as the A.I. is designed to create image not a series of images. The noises randomly created by A.I. made each picture differ from each other.

That's why the animation may jumpy and flickered. 

In other video, that may be not ideal, but this MV is talking about memories. Memories are fuzzy. They sometimes play the incoherent series of imaginations. Sometimes, it would present images that is not there in the reality.

The usage of A.I. generated fuzzy series of images really makes sense. It makes the video really a series of memories played inside the head.

However,

I really love the fan's version more from the official version.

The original Linkin Park depicted the memories from a girl from her last moment. The fan's version is more anonymous and can be personalized to me, the viewer. The video also really match with Linkin Park.

The fuzzy images of them Linkin Park embarking the journey to outer space is a testament for this band over the years. The band didn't stick at their original style, Nu Metal. They try to explore on other territory, not afraid to startle their fans. 

For me, their finest album, A Thousand Suns, is the mark of their growth. They talked about war, about the victim's feeling, about the anxiety to release forgiveness and moving forward. I have kept the CD well and from time to time I always come back to play the album.

Also, I remember Han directed Meteora and all of their MVs. He seemed try to push the animation forward. I can see the Animatrix style video in there, the experimental imaginary. And now, they don't afraid to push the boundary and put A.I. generated MV.

All in all, these reasons I think that made me feel the fan's version is the it.

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

Installing Goodix Fingerprint Reader Driver on Fedora

I currently have a Lenovo Thinkpad L14 laptop equipped with fingerprint. I was `belok` from KDE Neon to use Fedora 40 because of someone. Now I am tempted to enable my fingerprint: lsusb | grep -i fingerprint Bus 001 Device 004: ID 27c6:55b4 Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co.,Ltd. Fingerprint Reader Dump the firmware Assuming this is a fresh install, lets do some magic by getting some dependencies: sudo dnf install gcc git python-pip python-devel openssl Let's get the source code: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/goodix-fp-linux-dev/goodix-fp-dump.git cd goodix-fp-dump Create an isolated Python environment: python -m venv .v source .v/bin/activate Do the magic: sudo su pip install -r requirements.txt python run_55b4.py exit There are some python scripts available. I run run_55b4.py because my device ID is 27c6: 55b4 . It will spell some nonsense, which is a good thing. That nonsense actually the firmware captured by our device. Also, I typed exit becaus...

Chivalry vs Feminism

Throughout these years I constantly making experiment about how our society perceive about the societal changes. The overhaul of sexist strata and the privilege reformations follow. Note that every change could be perceived as progress or detrimental to the society. The foremost subject that I run is about the opposite of manliness perceived by the oldies vs modern women. The modern era allow women go out from the kitchen into the office. They can have career and enjoy the privilege that men were exclusively had in years. And, can men also do the reverse? Can men also enjoy the privilege of what women do in the past? Can men move from office into the kitchen? And the answer on this era is: NO. While women could reverse their role, men are not allowed to do the same in this society. Society will punish you when a man tries to do that. They will put a healthy man who chose to be at home dad as an irresponsible not-a-man person. If a woman's worth could be rewritten, why not...
