    Ah, I remember when you paused and the whole video was buffering. You could have multiple tabs open and watch the video when it was done. No matter what kind of connection you had, you could simply wait for the video to finish downloading in the background and watch it without problems.

    No ads, a 5-star rating system, 100% buffering, and mostly enthusiasts posting, no profit-driven incentives. We didn’t know how good we had it.

    I hate the way YouTube now gives millions of dollars to people exploiting children watching videos - be it slop factories or ‘influencer’ preying on their insecurities.

    In a just society YouTube would have been destroyed as a pseudo-monopoly ages ago.

    They/them would be more accurate since the god from the Bible is a mixture of different bronze age gods. Did you notice how God is something shown as bloodthirsty and sometimes as benevolent? That is because they took myths and stories from different gods.



  • They didn’t include the most prominent problem with open models: they can be fine-tuned. Especially, they can be fine-tuned to remove the guardrails.

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t see this argument as a real problem since:

    a) I don’t especially trust US companies (or Chinese companies, for that matter) to be the final arbiters of morality

    b) There isn’t any model on the market that hasn’t been jailbroken

    so I see that point as moot. But it’s at least a point that is understandable.
