Just to me, this seems like a waste of resources
It's art.
Art is a valuable part of the human experience. Art connects us, inspires us, humors us.
You may not appreciate all forms of art, and that's ok!
Can humans say the largest prime number before we find the next one?

YouTube has on average close to 4 million video uploads per day
And still can’t recommend me anything interesting outside of my chamber.
Above note is the reason Google can't recommend you anything.
Consider momentarily the amount of data processing necessary to somehow recommend a relevant video from:
~14,000,000,000 videos on Youtube
615 seconds (~10 minutes) mean length.
8,610,000,000,000 seconds
143,500,000,000 minutes
2,391,666,666 hours
3,274,083 months
272,840 years
27,284 decades
2,728 centuries
273 millennia

#113Don't be boring. A quick triage with an AI and a spot check suggest that the guitar solo at the end of Hotel California has just about the right number of notes (depending on how many '7' you get). Sweet Child of Mine probably works. Comfortably Numb(ber) allegedly works, but I doubt any of the singers I have access to can enunciate fast enough. For the most relaxed of the options, it has amazing little clouds of fas…
"Constrained writing" is literally the thing these LLM's are good at.
The Great Gatsby is pitiful in comparison to the output any prompt anyone reading this can obtain within seconds.
Not to diminish, it is fun as fuck, but accumulating uncannily daily.

It can't be that hard, once you develop a profile for a user, you just need to classify the incoming videos and cross reference their profile against the classifications.
Re: Can humans say the largest prime number before we find the next one?
#115given some sort of excrmption from time the chance of any human or group of humans getting it right are still zero, nobody is that good, so the only plausable way to do it, is to just aproximate the number, which we then might as well get on with congradulating ourselves with a job well done, me first I so great,now you ,and you
,and well everybody so great now

I think that “just” might be doing some heavy lifting in that assertion.

I wouldn't mind if it didn't keep recommending me videos I've already watched (they're showing the red bar! they know I've watched it!) or from channels I've already said no to or on topics I've frequently said no to or on topics that I watched one video on[1] and now YouTube thinks I want a full page of similar videos. The algorithm is, for want of some better words, absolute cack. [1] Even if I don't finish the vid…
Just wait until your kid borrows your phone,one time, to go watch Minecraft videos. You will never escape.

Lol, I know the pain (who doesn’t). Disliking and removing from history works for me, at least in the short term. I put history right on the sidebar with unhook extension, I believe. Sometimes I clear whole pages from there to avoid spam. What to do with videos I don’t want to dislike, idk. It keeps recommending watch-once-already-watched videos indefinitely.
I solve the problem by watching less and less on youtube. I think it's the solution they wanted.

Maybe they could run it through Whisper on Groq? It should be able to process individual clips in about a second.
Except that: >We're aware it's likely that if you're reading out a long string of digits like this, you're likely to slip up or say a wrong digit. Mistakes are a very human feature, but as long as you correct it and carry on, they're fine - we just need evidence of humans having said the whole prime, not necessarily in one go. You can watch your video back through before submitting to check it's ok. If you want to ed…
You don’t need semantics. Just what is expected. If it deviates and returns to what is expected, it is a success. If it deviates and doesn’t return, it is incorrect. The assertion is that all the digits are said, not that all the digits are said flawlessly.
Re: Can humans say the largest prime number before we find the next one?
#120> None of us can do it alone Off topic but this is not technically true. 41 million digits means 1.3 years of saying one digit per second. Even taking 3x as long, to account for sleep and other activities, this would take about four years - still very much doable. Four years times $100k/year plus $100k completion bonus equals $500k; I guess many people would be willing to do it alone under these conditions.
Do we find prime numbers slower than one every four years? I would have thought we find newer bigger ones more quickly than that. The goal of this project is not only to say the big number, but to say the big number before we discover the next bigger number.
It took 6 years between the last largest prime number and the most recent.
The two gaps before that were each only 1 year though.
So depends on how lucky you think you’ll get.
