Looking forward to buying the robot I can send to the movie theater to watch the AI-generated movie for me and come back and tell me what happened.
Then it can watch the fucking ads for me.
Soon enough, the AI will be able to kill us and live our lives for us.
I hope it enjoys its existential despair.
Then it’ll make meat bots to do all the dreadful stuff and the cycle will begin anew
If its really intelligent it will know better and just leave us to suffer
There’s a good chance if it’s really intelligent it will act to enhance our suffering. Like we do to lesser intelligent beings for some reason
I have no mouth and I must scream
If that somehow insures it’s success I suppose. But if it ends up with the kind of intelligence that humans have developed—heavily influenced by survival and evolutionary traits, it’ll do whatever is best for its survival. It might need us to stay happy and keep feeding it data, or decide we’re the most efficient labor for robot repair or power generation or whatever.
Then AI could want to keep us like we keep working dogs, or even just pet dogs if we’re lucky(and cute enough).
You have to remember we evolved as meat sacks full of chemicals. As in we have rich sensory input and chemical signals that give us powerful emotions. An ai is just a neural net made of silicon, it doesn’t get a boost in serotonin or a lift in dopamine to motivate it. You can program it to act like it feels but without the chemicals and pathways to support these feelings who knows what we’ll get. Add on top the ability for it to tweak and write its own code and there’s a lot of possible outcomes other than good ones.
Oh for sure. It won’t have to worry about its gut bacteria making it angry and irrational when it hasn’t had a snack in 7 hours.
Maybe it’ll get tied up constantly fighting competing AIs for survival if they are allowed to interconnect. Then we might get overlooked while it’s busy with its own shit.
But can it watch videos with me? 🥺
and if they make it beautiful , make it wear a lot of makeup, skimpy clothes and heels then fuck yeaahhh I am down to netflix and chill
That’s cool and all but they could’ve just made sure the regular-ass search indexer was consistently aware of the video transcripts.
Many times I’ve searched for a video I’d seen using a specific quote I remembered from the vid… And got nothing, and had to painstakingly find the video manually.
This is what pisses me off about the modern internet more than anything else. Most things don’t need to be a video. Written prose works so much better for most information content. This is how the internet used to be before YouTube.
My man. Thank you. I have been screaming at my wife about this for years as if it was her fault. I’m really starting to think it’s because a lot of people are low key border line illiterate.
Can it block the ads on YouTube?
No, you have to read a text summary of at least two ads before it gives you a text summary of the video. And the text summary of the video is broken up with other text summaries of ads.
“Basketball player and genie, Shaquille O’Neil is holding a dominos pizza box and asking if you’d like to Shaqeronni your evening.”
Ublock Origin can. It’s available for Firefox on Android. No similar options for iOS or TV apps that I know of, though.
I use UYouPlusExtra on iOS. Side loaded with SideStore (no jailbreak)
If TV uses android (for example fire stick) you can use https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube
Also not on iOS but android you have ReVanced: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/blob/main/docs/README.md
With Android you also can use Firefox, where you can install uBO.
Would be great if it can watch a video and generate timestamps for me to skip to specific sections.
deleted by creator
Youtube was already trying autogenerated sections, did they drop this experiment? I bet it lowered watch times
Just use https://www.summarize.tech/, and if the transcript is too long, send it to a summarize like Kagi.
Yo dawg… I heard you liked summaries so I summarized your summary.
It’s going to devolve into the ai telling you “good,” “bad,” “very good,” or “very bad” for everything and you won’t even need to watch it.
Holy shit, this is a hilarious idea but also terrifying.
Kagi can summarize YouTube videos directly.
Oh cool, just tested with !sumk on random YouTube share link in Safari on iOS and it worked like a champ.
Even when I asked about how to do this in the Kagi discord channel I didn’t get this answer, so thanks! To everyone else, check out Kagi, it’s awesome :)
All this will do is piss off creators due to monetization reasons, lead them to complain against YouTube, forcing YouTube to change their monetization process, which will lead to again changing the way videos are made.
And at the end, they will find a way to again shove ads in your face more efficiently.
But does it still watch the ads, or does it use adblocking?
The question to rule them all
This will be handy whenever someone responds to a comment with “this link proves my point!” And a link to an hour-long ramble.
Anyone can already summarize YouTube videos: https://www.summarize.tech/
Holy shit, that indeed works. That’s crazy…
I wonder if Bard can plain watch you. Like you consent to have Bard use your webcam the entirety of the time its open and even if you detoggle or choose to disable and de-permission it explicitly. What a time to be
watched and tracked perpetuallyalive 🧞♂️On that note, can phones bring proper borders back? Damn hole-punch cameras make it unnecessearly hard to cover them up
Bezel = Life
android now lets you disable the camera on an OS level. Not quite as good as hardware, but close.
Is this new with Android 14?
No it’s been around for a couple of years
Do you mean the sensors toogle that you can enable from the developer options?
Or is there actually a separate feature for this?
No a seperate feature. It should be in your quick toggles but may depend on your oem
Oooh, I see what you mean, just found it. Would be cool if it allowed for more granular control though, so it would prompt to enable access just for the app you want to use, and not globally
I think Google and other companies would like that. Particularly to watch your eyes and see what draws your attention on the page. For the ads, obviously. Because we live in the worst timeline.
A boring panopticon
Talk dirty to me, Big Brother
This is why webcams have a little light next to them to indicate that they are active. If it’s on when it’s not supposed to you know you’ve got a problem to fix.
I still cover 'em. Just need one for iPhone 🤔
