    8k is a screen resolution, so his New Year’s resolution is 8k as though maybe they just upgraded their tv/monitor (or they’re just rubbing it in as 8k is a higher res than most people have), where normally a New Year’s resolution is something where someone is trying to improve themselves in the new year (such as walking 10k steps every day, losing 10lbs, eating out less often, or learning a new skill, etc)

      I thought maybe it was because 8K is mostly useful for TVs that are like 77" and larger, and for 99% of people 4k is higher than they’d ever practically need. Also, good luck driving video games at 8K res. Thus it is a shit post.

          That too. Right now 8K is just a marketing gimmick. 8n the furure they’ll probably make 8K stuff but it’ll take a while. Right now it’s just a way to overcharge.

            Or use machine learning (like Stable Diffusion) to upscale existing videos.

                The original solutions that came up with the idea and trained on thousands of input before it I presume would be likely more robust.
