What an amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing that. I’d never seen it before. Beautiful production quality.

I’m late to the thread, but it’s the West Community Library at St. Petersburg College, and perhaps you will not be surprised that it is in Florida.

and the leaves? and the sky is gray?

For those curious, Ringsted and Thisted are Danish cities. “Ring”, like in English, is the sound a phone makes when you make a call, and in Danish we say that we “ring” someone, when we call them. “This” is pronounced like the Danish word “tis”, which means pee.

I was curious too, so did some searching. His name seems to be Calimar White (based on this Tiktok page), and the company is called OCDA (Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs). The website, which also has YouTube videos, is at https://ocdaofficial.com/

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

For anyone else who starts watching, without going through to YouTube:

This video is rewritten, re-edited, and dubbed from German into English.

Original video: Mit eActros von der Türkei nach Portugal: …

I was so confused at first, when the lip movements didn’t match up with the speech, haha.

That’s really cool! I always think it’s awesome when people make their own custom solutions.

I didn’t even consider that, but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing though! I’m always curious to see what other people are using.

I’ve been using eTilbudsavis, because it has all the store magazines in it as well. I thought it was only a danish app, but it seems like Finland has an identical version called eTarjouslehdet. So I wonder how many countries it’s in.

What app or website do you use? If you don’t mind sharing.

Google is NOT going to be any better at this. That will just be changing one corporate evil for another.

Personally, I disagree with the first and agree with the latter. I have a Nest Hub, and there are no ads on that. But I would still urge the redditor and myself to get acquainted with Home Assistant instead of bothering with the offerings from Google and Amazon.

Curious too. Maybe they don’t like the Scottish Football Association.

Well, I definitely will now. Even though I’ve always been more Shaun-inclined.

I’d completely forgotten about this show. But your comment made me start a rewatch 3 days ago, and man, it’s better than I remembered. Really has me hooked, and I just started season 2 now. Thanks!

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info!

Sent from my Interstellar app ;)

I started out using Boost For Lemmy, but have been using Interstellar for the last 4 months, because it supports Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin accounts.

Also, a recent feature, which I really like - When I go into the comment section of a post, I’ll see comments from across multiple communities, even ones I’m not a part of. Makes the fediverse feel more alive. It’s not just from cross-posts either afaict, and it’s not always perfect (Sometimes you’ll get a few comments on a post that are not related to it at all). But even then it’s still cool for discoverability of different communities!

Anyway, I thought I’d never leave Boost, but I’m Interstellar all the way for now and in the foreseeable future. Free and open-source, and apparently available for Android, Linux, and Windows devices, although I only use it on Android.

The ways they say they are going to use AI is exactly what they said was causing harm.

I disagree. The examples of traffic not going to websites and the stealing of content to train models are two things among several that they state in the very beginning of the video, as an introduction to how AI slop is invading many different sectors of the internet.

Starting at 01:43:

While this is sad and frustrating, what’s even worse is that generative AI truly has the potential to break the internet irreversibly. By making it harder and harder to tell what is true.

The beginning part stands out to me as things that they think are too bad, but not really what they consider the worst thing about AI. To me, their main concern is the fact that AI hallucinates and comes up with stuff, so as you say, they won’t use it for research and writing. But they will let their animators use AI programming tools to for example speed up writing expressions for use in After Effects.

However, their added in line at the end of them using AI as a “faster google alternative” is very open-ended and gives me pause. I’m very curious what exactly they mean by that, because at first listen, it could sound like a slippery slope into not fact-checking things. So I checked out their sources link that they always have in the video description, emphasis theirs:

One key driver in the development of “AI Slop” is a lack of oversight. Whether intentionally (to save money, or to mislead) or unintentionally, if generative AI is put on a task and the results are not checked for quality and factuality, low-quality content is the typical result. But the good news is that we can oversee it, and check/change/edit the results before we share them with the world. And then the output quality can be much improved, turning an AI-slop generator into an amazing tool for humans.

TL;DR - But this is still pretty long: What I take away from what they say in their video is that they think misinformation is what will contribute to the end of the web and the end of their channel - People using AI to pump out misleading and untrue content at a pace and scale that no human content creator or educator can outpace or even keep up with. Essentially, I believe that the way that they see it is that the tools are already out there, and won’t be going away, and so they are going to try and use it responsibly in order to help with mundane tasks. I don’t know if I would consider it ethical, but I disagree that ‘The ways they say they are going to use AI is exactly what they said was causing harm.’

For anyone else curious, here’s the commercial in question.

What the fuuuck. I had no idea he voiced the chef in The Little Mermaid. That is absolutely awesome. I still sometimes get that part of the song stuck in my head out of the blue, lmao. So I appreciate your title!

Sister Minnie 🤌

Wololoooo
