I've heard people are starting to do this on TikTok as well. I think it says more about us a civilization than anything. This is a clear scarcity/enshittification issue. Everyone wants good value and good quality products. Unfortunately a lot of mom/pop shops that produce those products don't want to expand and if they do end up franchised capitalism's ever growing desire for increased gains ensures that the franchised products only become worse over time.

It's a clear shame to see capitalism pitting people against each other in this fashion.

I wish I could say this instead of having to schedule my vacation time a month in advance.

Damn, I used to watch GB growing up and he was one of my favorites. Loved how even when he was getting his ass kicked on the field you could still see the guy smiling as he lined up for another play.

Fuck man why did you have to do this?

I stand by my opinion that learning systems training on copyrighted materials isn’t the problem, it’s companies super eager to replace human workers with automation (or replace skilled workers with cheaper, unskilled workers).

I mean it's the heart of the issue.

OpenAI isn't even the big issue regarding this. It's other companies that are developing and training specialized LLMs on their own employees. These companies have the capital to take the loss on the project because in their eyes it'll eventually turn into a gain as long as they get it right eventually.

GPT and OpenAI is just a minor distraction in regards to what is being cooked up behind the scenes, but I still wouldn't give them a free pass for that either.

YouTube: Has ads and sells your data like every other online service

Also YouTube: Doesn't pay creators much to the point where creators often have in-video advertisements but expects audiences on the platform to pay for an adless experience

Even if AI was absolutely impeccable it will always feel better to use products that involve real human beings.

Yeah, I just snip the tips on the front ones usually. I've been doing it since he was little and while he doesn't appreciate it he has never fought or clawed me in the process of it.

ArchWiki makes it so much easier these days.

Well, well, well if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

Unfortunately this is possible.

I think it's for the better that companies are having these blunders though. It'll generate some amount of pushback and keep AI from taking over workplaces.

I see. I simply ask because the platform has changed a lot if you used it a little over a decade ago and I know some people who never got over the transition.

Absolutely understandable that you don't want to spend time looking for anything that might catch your interest though.

Its literally the lowest form of entertainment and its not worth a single moment of ad watching.

I'm just curious, but what type of content would you be watching on YouTube?

I think the platform has come a long ways when it comes to content. Sure, if you're just watching gaming content I'd say you'd be disappointed. It's been like that for a decade now at least. There's a lot of decent content on there though with a lot of it even being somewhat educational.
