YouTube is the new cable, and it will take monumental effort to dethrone it. Hosting video at this scale is expensive. And people loathe having to go to multiple places to get video. Users, including people on Lemmy, want all of their video entertainment on one platform. They hate multiple subscriptions. They hate having their games in multiple storefronts.

There are user behaviors that enable these bad things to happen. And people need to start ranting about these factors and educating people about how multiple platforms are good, actually. Multiple options for account servers are good, actually. Multiple video hosts are good, actually. Paying creators for content is good.

The solution is not to hack YouTube and put a different front end on their infrastructure.

You mean front ends to YouTube infrastructure? Or stuff like Loops? One of those two are cool, the other is unsustainable if it were to get popular. Well, maybe both? I guess it depends on how the FOSS infrastructure works about.

Freedom of speech not freedom of reach. New laws would have to be made that force private companies to publish the work of others with no restrictions.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I went to look. Check out that bullshit claim that it’s a “great price.”

That’s the DoorDash inflated price too, I think. Looks like the DoorDash UI.

So, that 0.89 isn’t delivery price.

That’s a good way to keep people closed minded and trained. When they are not exposed to people different from them, they can keep their bigoted ignorant thoughts.

I just tried doing some work on a convention center WiFi connection in a small town. And it was clear the software I was using had no concept of slow internet. No progress bars on downloads, no resuming when connections dropped.

Everything just assumes max performance and fast network.

People took the wrong lessons from beautiful GUI design. Anyone who felt it was just aesthetics missed the point. It wasn’t just flashy UI on what boils down to a database.

They craved the reach.

This is what convinces many people to stay. They desire the attention. And the accounts desperate for attention range from big companies, to small artists.

Last year I asked the HR block ai chat bot thing a question and it got it wrong.

You telling me I can install Bazzite on a 486?

Your typical Arch install? Steam OS? Ubuntu?

Did YouTube have manual review in the first years? Apple has always had review.

Wow, that’s pretty damming. Three of them? This can’t be a random absurd error like it plausibly could have been for the first one reported.

There must be a really big flaw in their system if three VPN devs just “missed an email”. Is Microsoft sending the emails from a bullshit sus address?

That’s… that’s a lot of hard drives. Or a lot of rented server space.

That’s many many weeks of downloading.

I wasn’t wrong in this reply. I was asked about believing Anthropic.

Are you saying they are lying? Why should I disbelieve Anthropic?

Whoops, I conflated it with other recent talk about their models not following restrictions set in prompts and deciding for itself that it needed to skirt instructions to achieve its task.

You are correct.

Good job nurse.

Wow, the only thing Siri is generally competent at.

Well, for now. I’m sure any of those 12 partner companies they called out as new security partners will end up leaking that this is all lies eventually. If it’s just made up bullshit.

Anthropic announced new partnerships to inform the companies of security issues and to work with them to fix said issues. If it’s bullshit, it’s gonna be wasting their time. And that’ll surface eventually.

The meme still applies to people asking the AI to tell them what they wanna hear, and delusional people spiraling with sycophantic AI.

But I believe Anthropic when they say their models are not working as intended and posing security risks.

Claude Mythos Preview’s large increase in capabilities has led us to decide not to make it generally available," Anthropic wrote in the preview’s system card. “Instead, we are using it as part of a defensive cybersecurity program with a limited set of partners.”
