  • 5% error rate is being very generous, and unlike a human, it won’t ever say “I’m not sure if that’s correct.”

    Considering the insane amount of resources AI takes, and the fact it’s probably ruining the research and writing skills of an entire generation, I’m not so sure it’s a good thing, not to mention the implications it also has for mass surveillance and deepfakes.



    1. The “No Plex Shares Needed” Share

    Send someone an SMB/NFS share to your media. They install MPV. They can now browse and play your media library like it’s local. No Plex accounts, no streaming limits, no transcoding quality loss.

    Yeah, that’s not tenable for anyone but the nerdiest users. None of my users know what an SMB share is. They know Plex is the icon they click on to watch the movies I get them.

    I’m glad this exists but the Netflix-like experience Plex offers is key to adoption by normal people. Aside from the yt-dlp integration, it sounds like DLNA sharing via PMS or XBMC from way back.
