It's deeply haunting to think about how badly AI is going to mess up the world over the next few years. Today, it's YouTube videos. Later, it will be a rejection of the insurance claim for a kid's life-saving surgery. If you're in a position of influence in an organization that's losing its marbles over AI, please, at the very least encourage others to pump the brakes and think . If there was ever a time to speak up…

According to this article, it's been happening for a while now: https://www.statnews.com/2023/03/13/medicare-advantage-plans...

Again, I am not against backups but that doesn’t solve the actual problem. The problem isn’t losing the files, it is losing a reliable source of income. Putting the videos on Vimeo/S3 bucket/some random website doesn’t solve that problem. People create videos as a full-time job, which is only possible because of the traffic YouTube brings. Also I think the analogy is pretty solid because it clearly illustrates the em…

It is certainly helpful to hang up a shingle where all the people are — the mall, the town square, the marketplace — but your patrons should know that a bridge exists to your flagship, your headquarters, your farm, your factory of ideas.

If a farmer stops showing up to a farmers market, no one is going to go to their farm for their specific carrots when there are other carrot farmers at the market. Even if they have the best carrots, that doesn't mean their carrots are sufficiently better to justify the added hassle. If their livelihood comes from the customers at the farmer's market, they need to keep their stall at the market.

Speculative assets are by definition are zero-sum. If they go to infinite or to zero, they still produce zero.

You're confusing things that you value in life with things with economic value. Also you don't seem to see that something that stores your economic value better than anything else (the "infinite" outcome) would be of great value to your life.

You could also see it as economic value is commonly extremely divorced from any useful human measure of value. Enough money to feed the world is "made" and "lost" though market oscillations that aren't really based in any practical reality. Like Tesla being worth more than the rest of the next 35 car companies, say. Or just one of the several apps that calls a cab being worth the GDP of Kenya. Or the value of Bitcoin.

The fiction is that the market is an infinitely rational representation of value, denominated in the same units humans buy food and shelter with, and generally correlated with their ability to do so. But it seems "the economy" has less and less to do with life on the ground.

I wish Youtube etc would blacklist requests by these companies, but am not optimistic. Curation seems like the path here, but it seems difficult. (See also the recent Kagi thread here, highlighting how being able to curate which sites appear on your search results is a big deal)

I agree, but the economics currently don't favor YouTube caring enough to solve this sort of problem In fact, everything aligns to incentivize them not to care: making the barrier to make a successful claim higher and the larger rights-holders start to cause problems; the cost of seriously adjudicating claims is substantial and may well be unsustainable. The consequences of bad policy are also quite low for them: mos…

I would think Youtube would care enough about content creators with large number of subscribers (3blue1brown has 6.8M) to have a human review takedown notices against those channels.

You can just create a new company. There is an asymmetry there which your tit for tat approach does not take into consideration. And no, creating a new channel requires far more work.

I don't mean banning the company which does the takedown submission, I mean the company that actually owns the copyright. That would result in companies being a lot more vary in terms of whom to trust with such job.

So if I make 3 bogus takedown requests based on stairway to heaven's copyright being violated, no one can make copyright strikes based on stairway to heaven?

People can use whatever words they please. Never mistake yourself to be the arbiter of language, which is ever evolving.

Never mistake yourself to be the arbiter of language Isn't that exactly what you just did?

"you're not the boss of me" does not mean "i am the boss"!

Imagination is not an English word. It’s a borrow word from Old French, because there was no existing English word for that meaning. Your move.

It's from Old French all right, but probably not because there was no existing word. Old English Translator[1] suggests geþanc (a bit similar to the modern German Gedanke) or the verb wénan, both of which can be confirmed by Bosworth & Toller's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary[2].

The Normans introduced French as the prestige language of England when they invaded, but Anglo-Saxons would have wanted to express the concept of imagination way earlier. If they had wanted to, they could have borrowed the word from Classical Latin imāginor without the 'help' of the Normans.

I'd like a couple of laws whereby if you charge or make money through something, you need to have some human monitoring. Surely there's precedent is it not illegal to operate an unmonitored industrial factory

There are humans that work at google (or so I am told), just not enough.

It is not illegal to operate an unmonitored (nonetheless an under-monitored) factory.

Filing a take down requires a sworn statement of good faith belief the claim is false, so this would appear to be perjury.
