You could make it much harder to detect by synthesizing a unique video with a DNN and hiding the data using traditional stenography techniques.
I think that video compression might make this not a viable technique. Artifacts would destroy the hidden data, right?

Re: YouTubeDrive: Store files as YouTube videos
#152I only looked at the example video, but is the concept just "big enough pixels"? Would be neater (and much more efficient) to encode the data such that it's exactly untouched by the compression algorithm, e.g. by encoding the data in wavelets and possibly motion vectors that the algorithm is known to keep[1]. Of course that would also be a lot of work, and likely fall apart once the video is re-encoded. [1] If that's…

Or, film pieces of paper in succession, in a clear enough manner that they're still readable even when heavily compressed.

#154This reminds me of an old hacky product that would let you use cheap VHS tapes as backup storage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArVid You would hit Record on a VCR and the computer data would be encoded as video data on the tape. People are clever.

What kind of content do you upload? (Should "content" be in air quotes? :P)
Lol yeah. It's just recordings of myself when I'm doing deep work. I use OBS to stream my computer screen and a video recording of myself (mostly me muttering to myself). It helps me avoid getting distracted (I feel like I'm being watched lol) and it's also interested to check back if I want to see what I was working on 3 months ago. All the videos are unlisted or private.
Also, any potential issues with Google having access to proprietary code? I know the chance of any human at Google interpreting your videos is near-zero but still

#158Would be interesting if you could treat each service (Youtube, Docs, Reddit, Messenger, etc) as a “disk” and stripe your data across them.

#159Are there any services out there that combine all of these “Store files as XYZ” into some kind of raid config? Would be interesting if you could treat each service (Youtube, Docs, Reddit, Messenger, etc) as a “disk” and stripe your data across them.
