Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@rgmoses2189 says : Please make a follow up video to this where you talk about ai 2027 and its legitimacy>> <<@bascal133 says : I’m incredibly impressed by how Prescient this video is.>> <<@BoogieDaCat says : There's a reason Republicans argue with emotional arguments and not facts: anyone can understand emotions, no matter how dumb they are. And dumb people are easy to control.>> <<@BoogieDaCat says : It's on the way to ruining a lot of stuff.>> <<@bass-dc9175 says : It is VERY interesting how relevant the ending of Metal Gear Solid 2 has become in recent years ... An AI that is overwhelmed by nonsense, trying to filter through disinformation and gossip, to try and determine what is true. And upon being asked: 'And YOU think you have the right to tell what is true or not?' it responds with an ice cold: 'Absolutely. Who else could wade through the sea of garbage you humans produce?'>> <<@Spaceninjas11 says : Haha CCPT>> <<@hamishholden2922 says : I like to think that I can fight the bull shit content by telling youtube not to recommened me those channels but not sure it's working lol I think people are burning out from propaganda, I know I am. The media landscape is a shit show right now, I try to pay as little attention as possible.>> <<@Motocentrick says : I'm praying for aliens>> <<@CorralSummer says : Pretty much spot on. Most of the ai videos are pretty obvious and suck ass, and most all of them get practically no views. But sometimes they do. And if you go on google images it's even worse with nearly everything being ai now. You can search something as simple as "tree" and the first image is ai. Why? There are probably trillions of photos of actual tress. What the fuck is the reason for the ai generated trees? Who is benefiting from this.>> <<@paulstewart6293 says : À wee mistake. It happens. 40% of Americans don't know that the earth goes round the sun. Not only that but the same wankers have voted Trump back in! We look on in horror in what they're going to do to our planet.>> <<@LesterBrunt says : those bot channels already destroyed a large part of YouTube for me. Back in the day, when there was something happening, you could just sort by upload date and see what people thought of it. Was a great way to find new ideas and channels. But now, if you search something like Joe Rogan and do it by upload date, you either get just news channels, or bot channels, it is completely swamped.>> <<@LesterBrunt says : I fear it will destroy the internet, but I hope it will bring desperately needed regulation. It already is at a point where you can't be certain that anything written online wasn't just prompted to an AI. In a couple of years, it will be so good that even video will be indistinguishable. And then, you will have no way of knowing whether anything that falls outside of the very select few established channels is real or AI generated. The only way out of it, is to make it so that if you want to publish anything, from videos to comments, on the internet, you need to have your identity verified and tied to that publishing. It could still be anonymous, just have some step verification that is tied to your actual social security number or something similar. In my country, there is already an app that does that if you want to make doctors appointments, or do taxes, those kind of things. We need consequences for fraud, for deceiving, for misinformation. Without it, then lying is a virtue. And the way the internet is set up now, there are no real consequences. At best, you get banned, so you make a new account through a vpn. So why not just write a bot that can spam AI generated YouTube shorts, that is a great way to make money, who cares that it is fraud, that you are using AI to do it, what are they going to do? Ban those accounts? You scripted a bot to make new accounts through vpns, it is unstoppable. Unless, you couldn't just make an account but had to have government certified verification.>> <<@Gbbb239 says : I have nausea listening to machines speaking. It’s deep in the uncanny valley, monotonously spewing prefabricated nonsense. It’s the worst “content” possible. Even when just translating, it’s hideous.>> <<@peters-z8n says : It's not completely useless and it's not gonna take everyone's jobs. For me, it's a good tool for my work. It's not perfect and it's not completely flawed either.>> <<@janklaas6885 says : we are screwed very badly, yeahhh>> <<@davidmessick1551 says : I have only been on YouTube for a couple years now and I am always looking for a new video from you. Even if it’s an old one I haven’t seen. Love your channel 🫡>> <<@spianny says : Are you a human?…… “I love human food, trust me” hahahaha 15:46>> <<@waterwomaninFL says : Everyone in my neighborhood wants solar generators because of ads like these. I try to point out, in my ADMITTEDLY UNSCIENTIFIC WAY, the batteries aren’t big enough to hold enough charge to do what these want with them….after a hurricane using for weeks, for instance. These videos convince people more than the fact I own an off grid house with a small solar system I had to fix myself through research. Oh well! I tried!>> <<@misterdudemanguy9771 says : Funny how you say that this feelings over facts stuff would never fly in the scientific community. And yet we can't now agree upon what a woman is. And the science is 'settled' regarding climate. When, in reality, if things were settled science would stop.>> <<@niolss says : Cry me a river>> <<@ds_e5202 says : 21:04 “Just like I was first, I will be last” is such a good and underrated reference. I had to come back to this video several weeks late just to look for it because I randomly thought of it myself and I had to check to see if you used it.>> <<@millax-ev6yz says : Great video! I think what you need to do is clear, turn science into its own religion. Give facts feelings etc, fight fire with fire!>> <<@Usernhhh77776 says : Get down to the words aka "Nitty Gritty">> <<@FirstElektroGiant says : the short clips section is also really badly hit. sometimes when you go through it, there will be 10 clip with same topic, same music and then one clip with something vaguely relevant and then more autogenerated videos or whatever the f they are. it is really horrible. youtube and every other platform should make it mandetory to tag such things and then people should be able to select if they want to view that sort of thing or not.>> <<@somuchfortalent says : AI is pretty cool, but it's going to be neutered to the point of uselessness for the common user to avoid "harm". These companies will more than happily abuse it to silence dissent.>> <<@Ozzy_Helix_ says : my biggest concern is the misuse of AI could be used to manipulate people into extremism and lead to domestic or foreign terrorism based on persuasion from a very convincing AI. my concern has already been realized with sites like YouTube and Facebook. my concern is AI will do a better job of winding people up into terrorism>> <<@csnipper524 says : Stage 2 is already well underway. Plus with this being an election year in the US, I'm sure there will be a flood of AI misinformation.>> <<@mouhou9795 says : Also what is wrong with being obsessed with exposing a scam. That's like saying a detective is obsessed with exposing a robber. No shit.>> <<@johnmagnotta8401 says : Great minds talk ideas Good minds talk events Simple minds talk people. Never hear Mr. Mason talking people.. however, in comments from muskrats mad at Mr. Mason, people is ALL you see. Huh!>> <<@johnmagnotta8401 says : Another informative, educational and entertaining video.. thank you!>> <<@Fred-gu6pk says : If the content of YouTube consists of computer generated bullshit who is going to watch it? People who like being lead around by their own opinions. I doubt that has a long term future and instead destroys the medium as one you dont bother with because it is not worth it. Eventually boring tedious bullshit will destroy itself by its falsehood, but it needn't be quick. YouTube keeps trying to push some very tedious right wing bullshit on me. Including absolutely anyone who has a problem with Disney, presumably because i watch Nerdrotic, DVD and The Critical Drinker. Thats plenty thanks it did eventually push some random ThundrfOOt my way.>> <<@AIchemist.lep666 says : starship troopers best movie ever!>> <<@ChrisHamberg-ok2cz says : GPT will replace the entire internet except social media>> <<@gerritjanboeve says : Truth and humour! Love your videos!>> <<@davoforrest5 says : I love most of your recent work , but science says nothing ! Scientists do and their are 1000 and 1000 of scientist that do not agree with your characterization ! We all have the same facts ! Please explain how carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nuclei acids formed on a prebiotic earth under prebiotic conditions! I refer you to Dr James Tour please debunk his work. Nevertheless be careful, before taken up the challenge . You might want listen to his most recent work on this particular challenge. Finally, Unfortunately your ad hominem attack on a narrative in the Old Testament demonstrates a woeful understanding of the purpose of the narrative. I challenge you to lay aside your bias and read the Old Testament from cover to cover and explain how a bunch “ ignorant Sheppard “ for example ,knew about the Suns orbit , 1000’s over years before modern man did, this is only one of many examples Ps. 19 :4b-6. I maybe wasting my time but there is the challenge❤>> <<@HarrietJade-e4m says : It's for sure going to be an interesting decade. This was an awesome video.>> <<@allanmoger1838 says : Ever heard of “Elsagate”? The algorithm always drops to the lowest common denominator of popularity and I have to tell you, that is awful. Humans are inherently awful, apparently. 😐>> <<@ElAteoMexicano says : Thunderf00t: "I am not obsessed with Elon Musk! I only made 9 videos focusing on Musk in 2 months!" He only included the ones where "Musk" was in the title of his video. The truth is Thunderf00t rarely goes through an entire video without at least bring him up. Just because your other videos don't contain his nr in the title doesn't mean you>> <<@kibidabitv9435 says : Consumption of internet content by humans is, and will always be, the bottleneck. So it doesn't really matter how much the AI can rise the chances of producing a viral content, that content will not automatically become viral. It still has to compete for the same narrow bandwitdh of attention of an average user. The only possibilty is that AI will squeeze human creators out of that space, but since most viral content was garbage from the start, there's no more harm there than it already is. The dangers are elsewhere.>> <<@djriqky9581 says : Lets train AIs to be like thunderfoot to make 9 debunking videos in 4 days>> <<@memegazer says : I have had similar thoughts. I am hoping that bc storage of a deluge of AI content will come with a greater bandwidth of overheard for social media...they might actually take steps to mitigate a constant stream of poorly performing AI just so they are not footing the bill for a constant stream of automatic AI content uploaded at their expense. But I agree that they are far less incentivised to do anything about AI content that performs well and drives their metrics profitably.>> <<@blindsniper35 says : As somebody from the infosec community back then when when this channel was started. Don't need to convince me that facts and knowledge don't convince people. The fact that causing problems giving journalist sensational headlines and making people generally concerned or afraid works far better than trying to convince them with facts and reason. To give a quote that's going to make a bunch of people want to hit me, "there is no patch for humans stupidity">> <<@creatrixZBD says : One of my hobbies on youtube now is blocking ai-produced channels. I already only subscribe to channels under 3k subs, and to give my watch time to independently-created channels. Youtube got too much like free tv for my liking a while ago, but this latest direction is like cable tv. If it weren’t for the communities I have invested in over years, and some other minor factors I am not sure I would still spend this much time on YT.>> <<@smegheadGOAT says : I don't know I can still tell when music is autotuned when I can not it will be over>> <<@smegheadGOAT says : If you are told something...>> <<@kiwidiesel says : With out ai how am I expected to get my higher level educational results increased😂>> <<@CookieCoder2025 says : If its not true though wont market forces and algos deprecate anything made with AI just the same pretty much as anything else? Especially since algos will be better made and people will have AI to cross reference. Its almost self regulating in a good way.>> <<@ehpilgrim says : So you're basically forced to do a job that no one wants because people are stupid and YouTube recommendation system sucks ass and how do I know Ellen wants to do your job I don't see other debunking channels>> <<@gauloiseguy says : It was the same with online forums and newsgroups. It was glorious in the beginning. Discourse with likeminded individuals with an open mind and view. Hardly any agendas. Most wanting to contribute out of enthousiasm for the subject. Learned so much just by lurking. Now we have X and vulture cultures like it 😢>> <<@unfortunatebeam says : Youtube is still way better and a way freer marketplace of ideas than mainstream media. And after a bit if exposure to it, anyone can begin to recognize the robot voices.>>
