I think that the video has been taken down from YouTube. Does anyone have a copy of it?
I think its geoblocked. Try using a VPN
This appears to be (geo)blocked for me.
I read the AI summary: https://www.summarize.tech/www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyqNYGCmkQU
Wonder why it isn’t available for me?
Wasn’t available for me either in Austria, but worked fine with an US VPN server.
Same, so thanks for the text link!
Not sure bro.
i wish i could take the entirety of everything these companies compiled about me,
dump them into a generative pre-trained transformer language model as training data,
and POTENTIALLY tell me to go fuck myself.
or hey maybe i’ll actually like this simulacrum. unlikely, but not entirely impossible.
or furthermore it might help me get a more accurate grasp of my shortcomings instead of the paranoid hallucinatory delusional shit.
the thing about an LLM is that it just takes a screaming leap based on what’s already there. It WILL generate an output. And if I’m the only one interacting with this predictive model of myself, I can shortcut the process of pussyfooting around until i embrace a snap decision by creating a snap decision instantly AND THEN improving on it. It’ll readily cough up something that I might do, but without the prior investment of emotionally and psychologically interrogating myself for the impulse first, thus freeing up those considerable resources for actual productive insight, refining the initial impulse (or outright defying the initial impulse) using factual information
“and POTENTIALLY tell me to go fuck myself.”
Oooh. Catharsis.
Right? EXACTLY!
As much as I like self-deprecating humor, this isn’t really about self-hate because the model isn’t really me and it definitely isn’t an actual person.
However, it can still help me gain better visibility about myself and the qualities of me that are usually invisible to me from the interior perspective.
A diagnostic tool, and a way to perhaps address more effectively those qualities of myself which make me uncomfortable.
Almost everybody has at least one experience of realizing, with horror “am I really like that…? oh … oh no…” and usually it’s in public. Not fun!
The prospect of facing these discrepancies in privacy feels a lot less daunting.
That is quite interesting idea
Alternate link because this is worth sharing with others (who might not understand what this frontend is): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyqNYGCmkQU
Video is set to private. Do you have another link?
Unfortunately I don’t, I tried finding the video again but it’s gone
Rather sus that that video gives an unavailable error but I can view the rest of the channel fine. I wonder who owns YouTube?
Weird I can still see it. I wonder what’s happening
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
