She probably won’t, but of she does, I’m sure they can fuck the guy’s life up bat without any legal basis whatsoever. It’s not like the law matters to them any more.

If they follow the script, they’ll blame Antifa, Obama, and trans people.

You’re right… it does go a lot deeper. If you’re in the USA, your local community college might have classes. Consider starting with some formal instruction. The problem with YouTube is that you (the one lacking knowledge) has to decide whether the YouTuber knows what they’re doing. There’s a lot of great stuff on YouTube, but there’s plenty of wrong and unsafe stuff too.

Also, avoid super cheap tools for the tools that interface with screws, nuts, and bolts, like wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, hex and torx drivers. Cheap tools make it wasier to damage screw heads and bolts.

Training courses and apprenticeships; there are a lot of specialized tools, techniques, and diagnostic procedures that aren’t obvious. Self guided usually results in doing a lot of things the wrong way.

Asking you to provide evidence in support of a position they’d never consider distracts you and keeps you busy doing worthless things.

I don’t use the phone part of my smartphone much, so thie idea of a dumbphone has no real appeal for me.

Lol… we can never really know because he’s looked and acted like a stroke victim for years.

They should just mandate that the child pornographers set the evil bit. It would save the EU leaders the trouble of learning how cryptography works.

It happened to me as well. Using reddit behind a VPN seems to trigger that pretty fast. I’d bet if she goes to your profile page ie, u/theNameYouChose) it will say the account is deleted to her, but you can still log in.

YouTube is drowning in it, and Google/YT leadership either doesn’t care or doesn’t seem to realize it. I started using Grayjay recently, subscribed to just creators I like. And for the first time in a long while, my feed isn’t two-thirds AI slop. It’s made YouTube tolerable again.

And yet… I would’t bat an eye if I saw a new executive order tomorrow requiring that.

I don’t know about relief. The people that put him there and did all the project 2025 shit are still at the helm. It’s hard to feel relief when the criminals run DOJ, NSA, CIA, DOD, etc…

AI upscaling is still just upscaling. It’s not going to change shadow details like the way this article suggests. And if you upload SDTV video to YouTube, you are ensuring that upscaling has to happen on every display you can watch youtube on. And if you have to upscale, more intelligent, content-aware scalers are likely to be better than older scaler algorithms. Even if YouTube didn’t do this, a scaler on the playback device will.

No sensible engineer is going to design an upscaler that intentionally makes video look bad. This youtuber could probably solve their problem by scaling the video to 4k themsekves, ensuring it still looks shitty after scaling, then upload that version to YouTube.

Of all the uses of AI we might complain about, I don’t really get the beef here.

Reads more like commentary about when than if.

It’s no Sanctuary Moon, but still a pretty good show. :-)

I still remember the CD-ROM carpet bombing campaign of 1995.
