Oh my fucking god I know that video

this is the entire pitch of genAI, this is beat for beat a perfect analysis 4 years before all of this bullshit actually happened

Has someone tried generating a train running at the camera and seeing if one of the AI bros dies of a heart attack?

Okay but this is about alkaline water so it's garbage even without the genAI imagery.

It's even by Wu et al., come on, low hanging fruit

These are people I know in person, not online

Okay, yeah, that sucks then :/

I haven't had such an earnest, full-belly laugh in a while, thank you for this. 10/10, I wouldn't have written a better sketch if I tried.

am i missing something?

Yes.

Which is terrible since scraping is an extremely important tool for normal people. Like, if YouTube gets good at blocking scraping there will be literally no way to watch their videos anymore.

Completely normal and chill thing to want

But do they have a scheduled weekly email with a list of tests that are known to be broken and allowed to fail in CI that then has to be manually checked against the test run report before merging? LIKE MICROSOFT DOES FOR AT LEAST ONE MISSION CRITICAL SERVICE I WORKED ON?

Ye that's why I'm asking, cause even RationalWiki doesn't have a chapter on abuse or anything.

I'd expect the current interest rates make it a less viable strategy.

Also, money is fake but I'd expect there's a limit to just how many billions you can burn before you can't get away with it.

Kinda checks out? 2022 is around the time it became clear the admin was clueless about what makes SO actually a valuable research, and then genAI was the perfect spark to go full rot.

It's on one side with Bitcoin and Ethereum, even if you didn't know about Brave before, seeing it there would immediatelly throw it into the bin compartment of your brain.
