I don’t think it comes from these Youtube videos – Flickr and other photo upload services are a more likely source of training images with default file names.

Maybe its a combination of both.

It seems exceedingly unlikely to me that frames from random YouTube videos would have been used to train image generation models. First off, they're difficult to extract and second, the quality of individual video frames is very low, especially if we're talking about 15 year old phone videos at what, 480p at the very best!

Twitter used to have an app, Periscope. You could start a livestream any time, anywhere. And viewers could fine live streams on a world map. For a few months, it was possible to feel the incredible simultaneity and richness of human lives. Someone biking, another person cooking. Day in one place, night in another place. It was ahead of its time. And too expensive for Twitter to keep running for too long. But it was a…

they should bring it back

The website http://astronaut.io/ does a similar thing but for recent videos, and not just from iPhones. From the home page: > These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). At one point you might be at a school recital in Malaysia, and the next minute you a…

What a lovely idea!

IMG_XXXX is actually a standard for digital cameras https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_rule_for_Camera_File_sy... TFA, "Apple uses the ‘IMG_XXXX’ naming convention for all images and videos captured on iOS devices, where XXXX is a unique sequence number." isn't very accurate, as the numbers are not unique. They're just sequential. if you take 1001 images, the file system will actually create a new folder and roll t…

Although as that link says, the prefix depends on the manufacturer. My Sony Mavica cameras have MVC_, newer Sony cameras are DSC0, my Fujifilm cameras have DSCF, I think IMG_ is pretty unique to Apple

>I think IMG_ is pretty unique to Apple

You'd be thinking wrong. Canon cameras also use the IMG_ format. It's been a while since I've dealt with GoPros, but I'm pretty sure they are IMG_ as well.

While it's nice to hold onto what you know from experience, extrapolating that to end-all-be-all knowledge is just not a good stance. Especially in the light of information from people with wider breadth of information.

Some time ago there was a website that showed you a random YouTube video. Like truly random. The biggest discovery to me was that a typical video has 0-1 views, nearly always I believe the website tried to find videos with least bias possible by doing some clever searches using YouTube API (so not just videos titled IMGXXXX). Maybe it was trying to do partial matches on video ID.

> The biggest discovery to me was that a typical video has 0-1 views, nearly always This is also interesting when thinking about how to optimize a video platform. You can see how the vast majority of videos could be evicted to cold / slow storage.

I was on tiktok in 2019/2020 and for a brief period it was just ordinary users messing around and posting whatever they felt like. No tiktok shop, very few ads or thinkpieces, nobody was trying to build an audience. A lot weirder and a lot more fun

Commercialization and infiltration of advertising-dollars-seeking "influencers" ruins social media sites. I miss the early days of the internet (and especially YouTube) so fucking much. I'm 28 now, and I've been online since 2009. I think 2009-2014 was the GOLDEN AGE of the internet for me, especially on YouTube.

You might like this website: https://www.cameronsworld.net/

It's a Geocities archive containing websites hosted on the platform from the 90s/00s. I really like the creativity and authenticity in the archived sites, it's like looking at a mirror into the past.

I personally don't have a problem with this, but this really made me feel like I don't understand the community of this forum sometimes. HN every day has multiple posts which drive so many comments about how privacy is lost and everything needs full E2EE, trust no one, etc. Then there is this post which is also a breach of privacy (much more than some things complain about), and yet the reaction is "wow, this is so pure and amazing to view into these candid moments". It feels like some cognitive dissonance. Still, personally I thought this was a cool post.

This website isn't a breach of privacy. The original upload process wasn't privacy preserving.

The videos are already public on YouTube.

From my notes. Maybe it's useful to someone. Not comprehensive as there are other brands and other iterations I'm sure. Many dpreview.com sample galleries show original filenames. Some forums list filenames, youtube descriptions can list model names, pdf manuals and manufacturer websites sometimes list the names. There isn't really a good list of these that I know of. ○ Apple - IMG_0001 ○ BlackMagic Design - A001 * C…

Pro-level (1D) Canons let you set the three prefix letters.

How is this a breach of privacy?
