i think what a lot of people miss is: the AI guys already won. if you want a company to notice you now, you kind of have to live in the world the AI firms created. it squeezes from the other end too. if you're hiring, your hr is using the software to screen candidates. not sure what to do about this

People have wondered what happens when the web fully rots out from underneath chatbots and search engines. Now we know at least one answer: AI is watching a lot of YouTube nymag.com/intelligence...
If you pay attention to Google's Al interviews - but also responses in chatbots like ChatGPT or on AI search engines like Perplexity - you'll see this all over the place now. You ask a question and the chatbot will generate a response, as expected. In doing so, it will often pull in citations, which it will quote or summarize. A couple of years ago, these were usually websites. Now, your little Al agent will produce information extracted straight from the internet's millions of hours of recordedAs a guy looking to his phone for help with the pile of bike parts - or a sore neck - this mostly feels like progress. On one side, you've got AI models that are getting better at making certain kinds of information legible and accessible and chaining it together; on another, you've got Al doing automatic transcription of enormous quantities of video created by real people with the intention of reaching other real people.
Mileage will vary: In this narrow area, YouTube is naturally full of high-quality information. For health advice, maybe not so much.

good day to read the waluigi movie script.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
Waluigi and his wife and his kid are in the kitchen.

WALUIGI
(taking big sip of coffee)
I love you wife.

Waluigi kisses her.

WALUIGI (CONT’D)

I love you child.

Waluigi kisses his kid. His wife takes a big sip of coffee.

SARAH

I love you Waluigi and I love you
child.

Waluigi’s kid takes a large sip of her coffee.

KID

I love you Mom. I love you Waluigi.

Waluigi leans back and kicks his feet up on the table.

WALUIGI

I have such a loving family. What a
lucky guy I am.
SARAH
You’re are very lucky.

Waluigi’s kid takes another huge sip of coffee.

WALUIGI
Geez, look at the time.SARAH

I guess we should get going. Say
goodbye to Waluigi sweetie.

KID
Goodbye to Waluigi.
WALUIGI

You’re going to have a great time
with Mommy today at work. Hey,
maybe if you’re good she’ll take
you up to the observation deck and
you can see the whole city.

SARAH

Yeah, that’s a pretty big “if”!

WALUIGI/SARAH/KID
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

WALUIGI
Our kid is ok.

Waluigi’s kid takes a third big sip of coffee.SARAH

Don’t want to miss the train into
the city! We’ll be back around
6:00. 7:00 If Peterman makes me
stay late.
WALUIGI
(shaking head)
Peterman...
KID

I love you Waluigi. I love you Mom.

SARAH

Awww, I love you too kiddo. Bye,
Waluigi, I also love you.

WALUIGI

Don’t forget, I too also love the
both of you.

Sarah takes the kid and exits the house. Waluigi kicks his
feet higher up, from the table to the counter top, and flexes
out a newspaper to read.

WALUIGI (CONT’D)
I love my family. I’m so lucky.
Today is going to be a great day. I
can’t wait to see them both later.

fun fact: i interviewed lowtax before he died and this happened to him on our call
YouTube’s problems with moderation are how I found myself on the phone with Rich “Lowtax” Kyanka, the founder of the notorious and notoriously influential blog and internet forum Something Awful. While he’s infamous online for a number of reasons, Kyanka’s opinions on moderation hold some weight, because he managed to tame what should have been an untameable community of the internet’s biggest weirdos and most prolific posters. The secret, he started to tell me, was threefold, involving administrators, mods, and a sense of humor. “You can tell a lot about somebody by their sense of humor,” he began — then paused. “And I just fell through a chair,” he said, laughing in that surprised way you do when something unfortunate but undeniably hilarious has happened to you. (Kyanka informed me that he had in fact fallen through the lawn chair he was sitting on.)
