If we lose an important service because of the companies going out of business that seems like a reasonable argument.

True, another user broke down the distribution of meteor strikes over time, but that’s all averages. A big one could wipe it out in a single go, but is more unlikely.

She just likes to shit on everything while conveniently leaving out her own favored unprovable theory. It’s also not entirely about quantum computation. Quantum sensing technology is important too.

I'm not saying that the public should pay for it. I'm just saying that it would be a massive undertaking to categorize the videos. Porn seems to me that it would be easier to detect automatically. There are specific images they can be used to detect such content

General content is more difficult because it's hard for ai to distinguish, say, legitimate discussion over trans inclusion vs transphobic hate speech disguised using bad faith arguments

And in order to demonetize and not promote those videos, we need to first figure out which videos those are

Thanks! I hadn’t seen that resource. It does seem GPT is somewhere in ballpark, and it includes plenty of caveats.

Oh some of us are .

What the hell are you talking about? Google removes terrorist content as soon as it is reported, the case before us is more like a book in the back (that isn't even illegal) which has a bunch of pictures of US soldiers who've been tortured by the Vietcong, and is against the bookstore's internal code of conduct to sell, and offended someone who sued even though they had a button to delete the book and others like it from their own personally curated section of the bookstore forever

I also want to point out that a good deal of terrorist content is legal and covered under the first amendment. Not like bomb making or whatever, but their ideology can absolutely be spoken aloud in America, google gets plenty of pressure from it's advertisers to remove such content

Now, right wing hate speech, not so much, the algorithm encourages it because it favors engagement and highly emotional rage bait encourages engagement, none of this has anything to do with section 230 however, and yet here we are

Should we, as the public, be paying for YouTube's private costs? Its my understanding that AI already does a lot of the categorization. It also isn't about being perfect, but good enough. Its my understanding that even with all that they do to keep YouTube free from porn, some still slips through, but it is taken down as soon as it is reported.

But the case isn't about categorizing it, but is about how it is promoted and monetized by YouTube/Google and their algorithms, and, then the ultimate issue of the case - is the algorithm promoting the complained of content protected under 230 which was written to give safe harbor to companies who act in good faith to take down material that violates that company's terms of service?

Are you just going to ignore everything else I typed?

There is no way to present content that doesn't favor some weighted position, and with 3.7 million videos a day the service can't exist if you're just blindly putting it out alphabetically

that would be, again, like a book store being forced to just randomly put books out front in the order they are received and not being able to sort them by section

This has been on the arxiv for several months. Like most of Google's work in this field, it's very impressive and pretty important from an R&D perspective (as far as I can tell from skimming it last year). Also, don't freak out, because one logical qubit doesn't exactly mean that we're just months away from the thousands or millions we need for something like Shor's algorithm.

I can’t say what it will look like, but I can shed some light at the technology itself. While NFTs are a part of decentralized technologies, it’s by no means the main one. Much of the community was unanimous with regard to how silly they are (at least the ones that were hyped up like crazy). For example, he could add on-chain donations or member subscriptions. He could add decentralized comments or something better than I can come up with right now. I used to look down at decentralized technology, until I switched to Qamon. I’m a huge advocate of decentralized tech (I think they have a big spot in our future) and that alone helps me see Neal Mohan in a much more optimistic light, even though he tends to buy into hype a bit too much.

One other thing he can do is accept currencies other than fiat for subscriptions or memberships. A business should never say no to money, so supporting more payment methods couldn't be a bad thing. It's a sure way to increase revenue.

Sounds like they needed a “breakthrough” at Google after the last Google AI event. Trying to gain some street cred back to push those stock prices back up.

adversarial networks, the same way they train Alphago - once you have something that can produce and understand stories, then it can rate them. It will generate and rate itself millions of times faster than the human race did, and just like Alphago became dominant enough to take down Go grandmasters, so will this.

No point fighting against it, learn to adapt, learn to adjust.

They've made the same announcement so many times the Last 5 Years. Google's getting desperate.

Thanks for posting this. I hope futurology isnt fatigued from too many life extension posts. But im glad to see this here.

Reddit really is an echo chamber damn

That’s not the point of quantum computers.

Its not about making faster classical computers. But rather that quantum computers could potentially solve problems and do things that classical computers cannot practically do irregardless of how good they are.

IMHO, more like automated and coordinated conscious subroutines (e.g. a lion suddenly appears in front of you, fear kicks in and automatically gives you everything your body's got to survive: all non priority tasks are shut down (e.g. digestion stops, and you may literally shit your pants), chemicals are pumped into your system to enhance performance (e.g. adrenaline, cortisol, etc.), etc. etc.

And those emotions can be retrained (e.g. somebody fearful of spiders can be "brain-washed" into feeling comfortable with them)... So they are tools. If a trigger isn't adequate anymore, or new triggers are created, one can retrain oneself.

That's why I argue computers already have emotions. They only lack consciousness to feel them.

Then the big problem is how do you categorize the video? Content creators will not voluntarily categorize their content in such a way that will reduce visibility. Text filtering can only go so far and content creators will find ways around it

The only certain way to do so is via manual content moderation. 500 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube per minute. That's a massive task. Anything else will allow some videos to get though

Maybe eventually we can train ai to do this but currently we need people to do it. Let's say it takes 3 minutes to moderate 1 minute of video to allow moderators time to analyze, research, and take breaks

500 hrs/min x 60 min/ hour x 24 hours/day= 720000 hours of video uploaded

Multiply by 3 to get 2.16 million man hours of moderation per day. For a standard 8 hour shift, that requires 270,000 full time moderators to moderate just YouTube content

That's an unfeasible amount. That's not factoring in how brutal content moderation is

Even with moderation, you'll still have some videos slipping through

I agree that something needs to be done, but it must be understood the sheer scale that we're dealing with here means that a lot of "common sense" solutions don't work

The next 20 years is going to make the last 20 years seem like nothing in comparison.

YouTube, especially the shorts, thinks I'm really REALLY into guns, ufc, Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, and whatever bs Dana White has to say. I don't look up any of these things. Hell if anything I only get on YouTube to decide if I want to buy a game or not.

It's fucking annoying and pops up no matter how many times I dislike them.
