#123What if we summarize all the information in the world into a few hundred volumes of human knowledge, then summarize those into a 10,000 pages book, then that into a 10 long form essays, then those into a 100,000 chars blog post, then that into a pamphlet and finally we summarize one more time into a single tweet.

Gemini's output:
Our understanding of reality is fundamentally shaped by the power of stories and narratives.
Humanity constantly seeks to impose order and structure on the world through systems and frameworks.
The inherent human drive to create and innovate defines our art, technology, and design.
We are bound by the complex interplay of connection, conflict, and cooperation in our relationships.
Time's relentless flow drives change, progress, and the unfolding narrative of history.
The vastness of the unknown perpetually challenges and defines the limits of human knowledge.
The search for purpose, values, and meaning is a central and ongoing human endeavor.
Abstract concepts and models are powerful tools for understanding and navigating reality.
All living things are interconnected within a complex web of life and ecological relationships.
The future of humanity presents both boundless potential and significant challenges to overcome.

I know you’re making a joke, but more seriously I think most yt videos have atrocious signal/noise ratios so information compression is likely very useful. Less so for many academic papers (although they have some pretty awful filler sometimes).
I was on YouTube a few weeks ago and saw a 20 minute video with a title that looked interesting. Under it was an AI summary that saved me 20 minutes, and had me skip the video completely. I wish that was under every video.
This week I got a notification about the AI added to YouTube to allow users to ask questions about a video. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but I can see that also being useful to get the main points from a long video. Up until now, I mainly use the popularity indicator on the progress bar. Since I watch most videos on my TV, it’s harder to use the AI, as I would need to pull out my phone, open the same video, and ask… that’s a bad workflow.
I do find it a little ridiculous that we need AI to summarize long videos full of fluff, when the only reason they are full of that fluff in the first place is YouTube’s own monetization policies which pushed the average video from 2-4 minutes to 10 minutes.

That's really bad, but also excellent in a particular way, which we might call glibness.

Lol, no they don't. If you have a pdf with enough words in it, you can go from that to a published paperback on Amazon in 15 minutes.
Those aren't books. They're printed blogs you pay for. Every book can be published as a pdf. That doesn't mean that every pdf is a book.
No true Scottsman!

#128Hi HN! I'm the author of this service. Thank you for your support.
There may have been some temporary downtime due to residential proxy running out of bandwidth. I have purchased additional bandwidth. (I run this service for free.)
There also may be some errors with particular videos because they are not accessible in certain regions. For now all requests to YouTube originate from United States, but open to change in the future to some kind of round-robin or fallback system.
I know it's not perfect. I developed the tool originally for my own use. It's open source and I'm open to any patches or pull requests.
Enjoy!

#129This feels like the inevitable outcome of the youtube algorithm favouring longer videos.
How can anyone make a generalized statement about “the algorithm” when it is by definition personalized? All YouTube cares about is keeping you on the platform as long as possible.
because there are generalized algorithms in use as well. The 'show ad' logic that is used at specific points along the way.

This should be fixed now. There was temporary outage due to proxy running out of bandwidth.
