New comment by gitpusher in "YouTube to automatically label AI-generated videos"

gitpusher — Wed, 27 May 2026 20:23:17 +0000

Interesting. Although it seems they are focusing primarily on detecting AI generated video and imagery. But most of the annoying slop videos I come across seem like they are using real footage/video clips. It's just edited together by AI and there's an AI narrator reading an AI script. I wonder if they'll do anything to guard against this type of junk

The server often has long wait times due to the number of players trying to join, so you can pay for "priority access" and jump right to the front of the queue.

You're missing the point here. The "old" Apple would never have tolerated a janky feature that inverts responsibility onto the user and behaves poorly out-of-the-box. Back then it was either lightning fast, jank-free, and intuitive -- or else it doesn't ship.

But this eroded over time. Nowadays both Mac and iOS are bloated pieces of crap that reek of design by committee. A lot of people blame Alan Dye (and they are probably right to do so) but there are other factors too. With Steve and Jony gone, they need someone who cares to step in and assert control once more

I don't disagree. But defaults are important, and you are in a tiny minority with wanting to disable iCloud. 90% of people using Apple phones want or expect things to be magically backed up for them

Technically, that's as "Memory Safe" as you can get!

[Reject Optional], [Essential Cookies Only] ... I am one of the people who clicks such options. But to some degree they are "privacy theater". Any website that presents you with such a choice is almost certainly loaded to the gills with tracking/analytics and various 3rd-party services that will track you with browser fingerprinting regardless of any buttons you click on the cookie banner. Nevertheless I still reject them, mostly out of spite.

There's something poetic about OpenAI being asked to comment on mis-use of their slop generator, and their answer is composed entirely of AI slop.

Pretty cool that they are advertising OpenClaw compatibility. I've tried a few locally-hosted models with OpenClaw and did not get good results – (that tool is a context-monster... the models would get completely overwhelmed them with erroneous / old instructions.)

Granted these 80B models are probably optimized for H100/H200 which I do not have. Here's to hoping that OpenClaw compat. survives quantization

Likewise curious to hear how it goes! 80B seems too big for a 5090, I'd be surprised if it runs well un-quantized.

gitpusher — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 19:31:46 +0000

Curious: Can you expand a little bit on your usage? $700/month equates to 350,000 minutes. Are you just running a truck-load of different Actions, or are the Actions themselves long-lived (waiting on something to complete)?

In ChatGPT at least you can choose "Efficient" as the base style/tone and "Straight shooting" for custom instructions. And this seems to eliminate a lot of the fluff. I no longer get those cloyingly sweet outputs that play to my ego in cringey vernacular. Although it still won't go as far as criticizing my thoughts or ideas unless I explicitly ask it to (humans will happily do this without prompting. lol)

Man. I looked at their landing page. Skimmed the "how we did it" article. And I still have no idea what this app does – seems like chat of some sort?

Edit: Ah. If you go to the iOS Store, they reveal that it is an AI app. How mysterious. Why not just say that on your landing page

New comment by gitpusher in "When ChatGPT turns informant"

gitpusher — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 18:50:24 +0000

The author makes it seem like we have two choices:

1) enable memory, and use ChatGPT like a confessional booth. Flood it with all of your deepest, darkest humiliations going all the way back to childhood ...

2) disable memory

Perhaps my age is showing. But memory or no memory, I would never tell ChatGPT anything compromising about myself. Nor would I tweet such things, write them in an email, or put them into a Slack message. This is just basic digital hygiene.

I've noticed a lot of people treat ChatGPT like a close confidant, which I find pretty interesting. Particularly the younger folks. I understand the allure – LLMs are the "friend" that never gets bored of listening, never judges you, and always says the right thing. Because of this people end up sharing even MORE than they would to their closest human friends.
