Like I said, I usually "find content" on Youtube by someone else embedding it in something they wrote. I don't generally browse it without a reason. Occasionally I'll use the search for something specific, although lately that works better on Kagi.

There is no practical way to do that. Seriously.

In order to do it properly you'd need to have a process similar to declassification redactions, where a human can reason about real-world context. And you'd need a lot of bodies to do that to 20M chats in any reasonable amount of time.

"De-identification" automation can sometimes give you a dataset that by itself is anonymized. You really need structured input data for that, though, and the real problem is that there are frequently ways to "enrich" an anonymized dataset by finding other datasets you can join it to.

And here we're talking about freeform chats with multimodal inputs, those tools really can't cope with that sort of thing.

Further, the "enrichment" for this sort of thing could be weird. I could theoretically have described a situation to ChatGPT that didn't have identifying names/numbers in it, but that you could recognize, thus outing me. There's no way to redact that sort of thing.

So you're sad that people you don't like, don't like your idol.

Just go buy some new vaporware feature from him, or maybe he's selling in-car robot porn or something.

I'm sure it will make you feel better.

Or more specifically, to own your digital artifacts and identity.

Making you authenticate to the mothership makes it far easier to:

- surveil everything you do on your machine and over the network
- progressively make it harder to save files locally - they really want your data in Onedrive
- add metered billing for certain features
- and of course record details about how you respond to ads, which is the ultimate goal of every software company now

I understand some folks use them as a TV substitute, so in that case I get it.

But for casual users, why? I mostly view videos embedded on other sites, no account needed. Sometimes I'll run a long video in a different tab to listen to an interview or something, still no account needed. I see no reason to care about being logged in.

If this is them "adding value to the logged-in experience", yeah, still no reason.

A vocal minority in the US has pretensions of aristocracy, and a lot of awfulness flows from that.

Most of the south actively suppresses labor and wages with the direct goal of being "good for business" - e.g., cheap labor with no recourse or way out.

Now we also have people like Musk and Theil all but openly demanding an end to any political power for anyone but them.

There's a reason guillotine T-shirts are selling well, and there is a certain segment of society that should take it a lot more seriously than they currently are.

Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).

All one needs to see this is to be employed at Intel in June, when every single monitor becomes rainbows and the rainbow flag flies on campus every month.

This convinces me that education is in crisis. But on the bright side, illiterate morons like this apparently want to pretend they can read and take meaningful part in society, so there's still hope that, one day, maybe cretins like this will learn to reason.

Hey, howbout let's reclassify that Waymo robot as a food processor and handle two stupid things at the same time.

He also questioned the accuracy of First Street's data, saying he didn't think that areas which haven't flooded in the last 40 to 50 years were likely to flood in the next five.

What he really means is "there are a lot of doomed properties we can make one more commission on."

If I'm being uncharitable, he can of course make me a fool by insuring buyers' flood risks for 5 years.

No surprise that a nation that outsources gaslighting itself and cares more about making sure people don't think about its compromised phone system than fixing it isn't going to give a shit about who gets to share its surveillance product when the targets are just the little people.

Eventually someone will use Flock to assist with a high-profile heist of some sort, at which point it will become a problem.

I am really enjoying this story.

Waiting for the young one to pop an ollie off one of the pews.

Not to mention the millions spent on DEI hiring of marginal people based only on demographics.

He did, on the promise of the Biden CHIPs act money- the employees ballooned to 145,000 worldwide by October 2022.

Due to CHIPs act not coming through as planned, in December 2022 they started rounds of layoffs, which Lu Tan is continuing
