I guess here goes my idea of starting a ultra-Libertarian podcast using your likeness.

Corinthian DSL was already taken?

I will go further than that - it will be designed to ban small percentage of actual creators. After all, when YT bans creator they continue monetizing already existing content while not paying anything to the creator.

This does not mean that complaining about real rather than perceived issue. I have hard time believing that anyone would watch AI impersonation of a presenter in any context but satirizing of said presenter. I think at the core of the complain that mindless slop gets promoted by YT algorithms. This has nothing to do with AI, as slop channels like Mr.Beast were getting promoted before AI content was a technical reality.

Likeness detection is algorithmic face identification. This is just another excuse to feed all the YT to the AI.

Just like in that saying goes, if you owe a bank a million they own you, if you owe a bank a billion you own them.

On a scale of 1 to 10 of meritocracy, Unions are at -1000.

Literally.

Unions have very substantial downsides, even when not corrupted by politics (don't laugh, this is to illustrate example) Unions are anti-meritocratic. They allow bad-faith individuals to exploit the system and make it next to impossible to fire. They also prevent individual members from advancing based on any metric but seniority.

How would you go about measuring that? If you measure it by seeing how much you agree with me, you are presupposing that you are right all the time. Rather arrogant and extremely unlikely.

Yet even after the reason is no longer there, the union continues existing.

Even if you look just at /., what exist today is less civil, less insightful, and not nearly as funny as what it was, and I'd say /. weathered time better than nearly any dotcom era community. I don't even need to talk about social media, that is a cesspool of attention whoring that is beyond any redemption.

The next question is why this is happening? I think because Western Civilization is undergoing cultural collapse. People living in the West no longer have agreed-on set of shared values. Even on fundamental issues like freedom of speech or presumption of innocence you have wide disagreements.

Very insightful. The authority keeps repeatedly getting it wrong, from amyloid plaques, to string theory, to mRNA jabs. More so, the long march through institutions by neo-Marxist made a mockery of scientific authority, when they tell you a man can become a woman, then you start wondering what else they tell you is ideological propaganda and not based on the actual science.

This is how science should work. In reality, a scientist like that would lose tenure track, grants, and would not this model published because peer review would not let it through.
