ChatGPT and stellar magnitude ... Yes, I promise there's a thread that ties those two topics together! And his name is "Flat Earth Dave"

Scheduled for a premiere about 12 hours from now, at 3pm Eastern Time:

Given how the topic of AI went on this thread, I'm sure @Retro (and perhaps others) will disagree with some of the statements I make about AI in the video.

However, on the topic of stellar magnitude, the chart I show at the end of the video might be the first artifact of my flat-earth-debunking research that seems like it has genuine potential to be published on Wikipedia as an aid in general science education!

I'll probably share it here after the video goes live, so as to avoid spoilers.

"Flat Earth Dave"

Imagine being a mf calling yourself "Flat Earth Dave" and introducing yourself to the ladies as such.



"Hey baby... I'm Flat Earth Dave. So uhhh... wanna, like, make out, or something? Huh-huh-huh."

(this is a rendition of how I imagine Flat Earth Dave)

Alright, now that the video has premiered I can unveil the main feature: a scatter plot of familiar objects with their luminance / magnitude / angular diameter!

I also published this on Wikimedia Commons.
