You're in for a surprise then, because this article is clearly in an LLM style. That doesn't mean it's hallucinated, no, there is a real human behind, but the actual content that you enjoyed is LLM-written.
It's no secret LLM's can disseminate news in a superior fashion to 99% of human writers, when instructed properly
I recently left Google having worked on a number of projects with various YouTube teams. I think I can explain why it's being handled this way by YouTube. This is a fairly nuanced/involved issue, so the task of classifying the bug likely made it's way to one of the engineers responsible for the implementation of this feature. That engineer has already launched this project, and filed it away under their GRAD (perform…
Whenever I create a playlist, YouTube makes it Public until I dropdown to make it Unlisted or Private. All your settings are just gonna keep defaulting to Public and you're gonna need to micromanage everything, unless you simply give in and let it all be Public.
So it's not really a bug as described, just a feature. Let's just face up to the fact that social media is public.
Remember in the old days when they said "don't write anything in email you wouldn't want to see in the newspaper"? Well, extend that to social media [including YouTube and creators], and now we've got an idea of our false sense of privacy.
> Attacker leaves the comment on a creator's video. > Creator opens YouTube studio's comment tab. > Creator clicks a suggested AI prompt (Designed by YouTube) > Injection fires, attacker-controlled content appears in the response. It's insane that YouTube doesn't see prompt injection as a bug.
Or dismiss them all as social engineering and keep it moving.

Of all the fucked up things in this comment, giving a single Engineer lifetime responsibility for all bugs in code they wrote is probably the dumbest. And it's slowly becoming the norm. The last place I worked at, a large and well known Tech company, didn't even roll with QA's. That just wasn't a role anywhere in the division. You are fully responsible for all the bugs in all the code you ever wrote Cute at first. Un…
Now if only OP talked to humans once in a while and not LLMs they’d stop writing “it’s not X, it’s Y”
Why is writing "it's not X, it's Y" a bad thing? Other than it happens to be used a lot by LLM's, it seems like a fine language construct. It's not like it's new; it was used plenty before the time of LLMs too. In my opinion, we shouldn't let the LLM companies claim parts of the English language for themselves, and make it effectively unusable by everyone else. That's what is happening because of this pervasive hatre…

Ok. So QA finds a bug. Who’s responsible for fixing it? The only value of QA is to try to make sure you become aware of issues before customers find them

I feel like part of it is the "over-systemization" of promos. I see the logic behind it to some extent - if there's a system, it's "fairer"/"more democratic". But, then we end up with ridiculous gamified promo systems.

Good != Successful. I assume that's why they wrote good and not successful. It's an average software product with incredible scaling behind it and a lot of elbow grease to keep it chumming along, but it's not great software by the definition of "bugs actually get dealt with"
It's great software in the sense that it makes a shit ton of money though. In the end software that doesn't get used and doesn't make any money but has no bugs is not valuable either. Not saying that this is the trade off you have to make but if you have a working mode in place that achieves usage and money somewhat consistently i can understand being hesitant about changing it to optimize for less bugs instead.
Similarly, most people don't put much stock in the salesmen of a product describing their own product as great.
Stop debasing all of quality to profitability.
