  • I’m finding I’m using youtube less and less that I can’t actually remember the last time I used it for anything. Youtube has so much crap now.

    Because of their monetisation scheme for content creators, it was profitable for creators to drag 15 mins of information out to one hour, and then to include shock faces as thumbs to get more clicks, and then to get more viewers just to watch a bit of the video as viewership dwindles into just mindlessly watching suggestions.

    I feel sorry for those creators who have gone balls deep with youtube content and who have no “plan b”.











  • Some questions and because you don’t actually understand, also, the answers.

    • what does the LLM understand the context of, (other user’s data owned by Twitch)
    • How is the LLM fed that data? (You store it and feed it to the LLM)
    • Do you use Twitch’s data and its users data through an AI without their consent? (Most likely, yes)
    • Do you have consent from the users to store ‘facts’ about them (You’re pissy, so obviously not)
    • Are you then storing that processed data? (Yes, you are, written to a file)
    • Is the purpose this data processing commercial (Yes, it is, designed to increase viewer count for the user of this system - and before you retort “OMG it helps twitch too”… Uhm no, Twitch has the viewers if not watching him, watching someone else)

    I mean yeah, it’s a use case, but own up to the fact that you’re wrong. Or be pissy. I don’t care.

    I like how all the big media just happened to publish articles about “peaceful protests” to pacify the protestors, “please don’t be violent everyone, the police can’t shoot you all in the leg with rubber bullets”.

    The violent protests are the successful ones. Just ask every country, ever.

    There’s a difference between using it as entertainment and using it chronically. In answer to television/ films - everything in the last twenty five to thirty years is rubbish and a waste of time. I still like a blast on a cheap Chinese hand-held emulator to fill 10-20 mins or so then I put it down and forget about it.

    When you adult, you have responsibilities. I’ve known children who come from successful families who have never played on a console because they’re busy doing positive things in life that will help them in future.
