YouTube Is Littered With Mass-Produced Videos Made By Automated Bots (hackernoon.com) 99

A report via Hacker Noon sheds some light on the practice of using bots to mass-produce videos for YouTube. The YouTube channel Breaking News Today, for example, constantly generates new videos from recent news sources, and posts as often as every few minutes. You can tell the videos are bot-produced because they always start off with a cringe-worthy 80's style intro, followed by a robotic voiceover and floating low quality images. From the report: Someone has effectively created a fully automated process running 24/7 that is taking and stripping recent articles, converting them into video format, and posting it on Youtube as their own. And while doing so, they take credit for it and reap all the rewardsâS -- such as revenue and influenceâS -- âSthat come with it. Some videos, especially the ones that gain momentum and get popular, even feature a large juicy ad on the bottom, in which Google displays and shares profits with. Sure, one video with a few thousand views isn't really that significant, but when you have hundreds of videos being pumped out week after week, you can see how quickly things can add up. And while many new videos are still awaiting their first dozen views, others are in the tens of thousands. One even amassed almost 50k views in just two days. In total, the channel's videos have been viewed more than 225,000 times just in the past month, with an average of around 8,000 views per day. Did I mention that there are more than just this one channel? There's also this one, and this one, both following the same concept. There's actually many, MANY more. There are few solutions to deal with this new type of fully automated plagiarism. While you can certainly down vote the videos and report them to YouTube if the uploader is infringing on your copyright, they will likely stay online for days racking up views and revenue before any action is taken. There's also no reason why the videos couldn't be uploaded to separate channels to fly under YouTube's radar.

Comment Re:Short term the best carbon sink is rainforests (Score 1) 83

First you lie. The US emissions of carbon are decreasing both in total and per capita.

Um, did I assert otherwise? I'm not sure where you think I lied since at no point in my comment did I assert that US carbon emissions were going up or constant. But the fact is that the US is doing less about emissions than many other countries. A declining CO2 level is not sufficient by itself- the rate of decline needs to be much faster.

Submission + - How To Write The Best Proposal as a Freelancer (it-freelancer.eu)

An anonymous reader writes: The ever growing market ofIT Freelancers becoming very competitive. Some numbers show that there are 54 million freelancers in the US alone. This is your competition, this is who you are competing against when sending a job proposal, so how do you stand out from the crowd? Honesty and a good background! It may sound simple but it’s not. Let’s try to break that down...

Make it clear in the first few sentences that you have looked into their background and that you aren’t sending a generic message. For example, if you are a freelance writer looking to get a job at “Company X” start your proposal with something like “My 5 step program for improving the blog quality of Company X”. This will show that you put up a plan, did some research and have ideas on how to improve something that is of value to your potential client. Don’t give them everything, hold back on the details, just go over your plan lightly. You don’t want your proposal to be longer than 200 words.

Comment Greeaaaaat... (Score 2, Insightful) 16

Keyword search is great when you're hunting down a specific piece of information, but Google -- and digital technology in general -- still has a long way to go when it comes to connecting ideas and answering questions with complete thoughts.

Does that mean that Google search results will continue to be less and less relevant at an ever-increasing pace? I already have to re-refine my searches over and over again, in a drain-swirling process of thwarting Google's hopelessly inept attempts to read my mind. And then all those re-queries I end up trying, result in that fscking Recaptcha thing - and I'm pretty much NEVER signed in to Google, so that process takes two, three, or more minutes, depending on how coy their 'anti-bot' algorithm is being at the time. At which point I either give it up, or have to fire up another browser instance just so I can keep soldiering on.

Fuck Google, fuck the horse they rode in on, and fuck their attempts at "answering questions with complete thoughts".

If the arctic ocean stays ice free it forces the cold arctic air will move over Greenland or Canada.

Feed Techdirt: We Interrupt Today's News With An Update From The Monkey Selfie Case (techdirt.com)

In today's fast-paced news cycle it's easy to overlook the important things: the copyright status of the monkey selfie.

Today we have learned nothing new about it, except that the case is not over yet. Which is itself significant, because the parties in the case had jointly moved to dismiss the appeal, and today that motion was denied. In its order denying the motion [pdf, embedded below] the Ninth Circuit acknowledged that while it had the power to dismiss an appeal if the parties so requested it, it did not have the obligation to do so if there were countervailing interests. And in this case, the Ninth Circuit found, there were countervailing interests requiring it to fully adjudicate the matter.

It cited several other cases as analogs. As in Albers v. Eli Lily, "this case has been fully briefed and argued by both sides, and the court has expended considerable resources to come to a resolution. Denying the motion to dismiss ensures that 'the investment of public resources already devoted to this litigation will have some return.'" Furthermore, as was the case in Ford v. Strickland, "a decision in this developing area of the law would help guide the lower courts."

Also, referencing Albers and Khouzam v. Ashcroft, the court noted that denying the dismissal of appeals prevents the parties from "manipulating precedent in a way that suits their institutional preferences."

As one of our colleagues once warned in a similar context, “courts must be particularly wary of abetting ‘strategic behavior’ on the part of institutional litigants whose continuing interest in the development in the law may transcend their immediate interest in the outcome of a particular case.” Suntharalinkam v. Keisler, 506 F.3d 822, 828 (9th Cir. 2007) (en banc) (Kozinski, J., dissenting from the denial of rehearing).

In other words, enough of this procedural monkey business. The appeal remains a live matter, and at some point the court will presumably substantively rule on it.
