Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Anyone remember when that LLM scraped and learned from Twitter but subsequently had to be taken down because twitter folks. This should be interesting.

Hell, I really hope it’s scraping the comments too.

do you mean Tay? that was a touch pre-current-LLM, but it was demonstrative nonetheless

[–] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

That’s the one!

Hell, I really hope it’s scraping the comments too.

With what an absolute fucking trash fire YouTube comments are at the moment and Google being suspiciously silent about it, I'm sure that won't cause any issues at all.

tbh my experience has been that YT comments are dramatically better than they used to be

Really? Most I’m seeing lately is obvious bot spam with content that’s not only blatantly against the rules but outright disgusting.

CW: mentions of animal abuse, violence, and racial slurs

And that’s not even the worst ones. I’ve seen some which mention and promote CSAM. Reporting these seemingly does nothing.

holy shit. we are having completely opposite experiences

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 3 months ago

fucking hell -_-

that’s worse than the shitty ones I occasionally get to see

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 6 points 3 months ago

I’ve found it varies extremely. Community/channel/field seems to make a big difference in the usual kind you’ll see, but there appear to be platform problems ito blocking some stuff from being posted/caught, too

These things are scraping absolutely fucking anything that might get them closer to Superintelligence^tm^, I fully believe the comments are getting scraped as well.

Tay was a tad different than simply scraping Twitter as it learned based off responses and there was a concerted effort to troll it and make it racist.

[–] V0ldek@awful.systems 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I'd argue there is a decades old concerted effort to troll and make racist the entire world wide web, by very dedicated actors no less.

Generative AI animations already draw completely cursed faces*, I can't wait to see what they do with youtuber face.

* Gee I wonder why Sora used a balloon head for their big demo. I'm sure that's a coincidence.
