How do you think a socialist Youtube should work? Is there anything inherently wrong in the current design, structure, or algorithm of the platform, or are all of its problems external, caused by it being based in a capitalist country?

Don't have too many thoughts on this. If you have high quality speech to text you can use more traditional search algorithms. Would be curious what it would be like if search wasn't weighted by reference, view, or more complicated algorithms. A peer-to-peer implementation would be the means to distribute costs without marketing. Think it would be useful if there were no suggested videos either on the main page or after clicking on a video. Disabled these using a userscript for some time and it seemed to greatly improve my efficiency with the platform.

Most of the significant improvements you could make to youtube would just be restoring features that have been removed over time to "streamline" it, like support for response videos, community captions, and so on. You could say this is due to capitalism (optimizing the platform for attention retention and data collection), but the platform used to have these things and it was still capitalism.

>>27920
Another feasible thought would be to turn over content filtering, and search algorithms over to the user so they can disable content they don't want to see. On this website use the hide button for images and the [-] button for threads very frequently, and even these small additions make this website far more useable for me than it would otherwise be. Beleive BlueSky is expereimenting with this sort of functionality, and probably others.

There's absolutely no reason for not allowing sign-ups with vpns/TOR and activating the accounts after the payment has gone through
Do there exist any alternatives that aren't glowies?

why are you paying for protonmail? storage? if so just export the emails and back them up locally/to some other cloud service (encrypted, obviously)

Email is unencrypted, don't do anything confidential over email.

you can do anything confidential anywhere as long as you use encryption, such as:

so like for example, if you live in a shithole that uses whatsapp or use anything proprietary/glowing/unencrypted/etc, you could just use the command 
 gpg -e --armor -r <user id name> text.txt

like in >>27932, instead of sending messages in plain text hoping that whatever you're using doesn't glow or has vulnerabilities

or if you'd prefer GUI, use kleopatra(GnuPG graphical interface) I guess.

The fuck is this cringe? It's like you're a snarky libtard but anti-SJW. The libtards' self-righteous snarkiness is a part of why they are annoying, no self-awareness whatsoever.


 

Everyone's complaining about AI slop but what about SFM slop or asset flipping? The moment SFM became publically available YouTube and porn sites got flooded with low-effort SFM animation. Same with Unity and UE5's asset stores. AI art is the same thing but for illustrators and musicians.

>>27869
>there's a difference between using openly available assets and doing something interesing with them, versus trying to pass off said assets as your own work.
I was referring to the niche being severely overcrowded because it's easier to animate in SFM than in, say, Blender. And if you shove pretty-looking models into the scene without making sure it has decent lighting or that the models don't clip through each other people will still eat it up, kinda like how they eat up AI art with inconsistent clothing, bad anatomy and a bland art style.
>>27869
>The prompt is the art itself, and what the AI adds gives no further definition to the ideas being expressed.
Sure. Maybe AI can only replicate the slop aspect of SFM and stock assets.

>>27866 (me)
Tbf this video is kinda mean to CryZenX here, they're clearly using stock assets purely for testing purposes. Their newer videos are much more impressive, even if these demos are probably optimized like shit so I don't think Nintendo should indeed "hire this man" to work on the graphics, not with their inferior hardware. Although they do seem to have indeed hired "this man," judging by the new Pokemon releases.

The song is funni tho.

>>27868
it's a bit expensive atm, since all the 3D asset gen models arrived at the point where the AI space is quickly entering its "enclosure" phase, it's ironically not cost effective to asset flip with genAI assets lol

I've had a question for a while that I've wanted to ask leftists and I figure this is as good a place as any. I can think of only one thing the right and left could ultimately come together on, and that's when it comes to suppressed technologies or suppressed science.

I'm talking about things like free energy, cancer cures, anti gravity tech. Because, if this stuff were available to humanity you'd be able to have the Utopia you want without having to tax the rest of us to death in order to fund your socialist pipe dreams. Plus, don't you guys hate fat capitalists lining their pockets by fleecing everyone and profiting off of human misery (like the cancer industry does)?

Could we not agree that the people behind this sort of suppression need to die? I'd happily eat the rich if it's those fuckers. I'd happily set them off into the wilderness and give them a head start before hunting them down as trophies

Once ya get rid of capitalism, then any suppressed tech would get researched since they're no longer suppressed.

Cuba healthmogs every Western capitalist country despite being heavily embargoed.

>>27855
define suppressed. there are plenty of technologies that, while not actually censored, aren't put into practice because of things like planned obsolescence and enshittification, and ultimately, because while they are technically satisfactory for whatever purpose they were made, they aren't conductive towards profit

there is also technology that hasn't been discovered yet because of the same reasons. this is, the same trends that decides to ignore currently existing technology, is also in charge of allocating resources for research activities. so there are unknown technologies that may have been researched in a different context

this isn't about bad actors or anything like that, this is capitalism working as intended. as the progressive potential of capitalism shrinks, as it's capacity to incentivize and produce technological improvements decays, the classes that benefit from it will become increasingly reactionary and opposed to progress. this is a fact, but fake conspiracy theories like "free energy, cancer cures, anti gravity tech" end up discrediting a valid observation about capitalism

I know that there’s lots of face searching services where you can upload a photo of someone’s face and it will find social media profiles. What I am looking for however is some kind of ai or something where you can describe someone’s face and where they live and it will pull up possible matches. Does that even exist?

I'd like to know if the anons has any materials (zines, posts, videos, books, blogs) on how to doxx or track down the owners of nazi profiles on the internet. Lately, I've been receiving a wave of cyber attacks across various social media accounts and even my emails from these bastards. Is there any material on this? I want to root out this evil.

Thanks for the thread, anon. Do you know a good place to organize and take down this content and these profiles from the internet, along with doxxing these people? I was thinking of starting this right here on leftypol, but I'm not sure if I can pull it off. The bastard who's sending his 'minions' to attack my social media and emails is a Brazilian YouTuber who makes blatantly Nazi videos. I don't have any personal data on the internet that could reveal me, but it's infuriating to see the crap they promote and post. I have plenty of content, including his own face, to move forward with a doxxing, but I need help from more anons. Do you think I should open a thread about this? Here some images of the scumbag and his videos.

not sure how the hate speech laws are there
personally, i'd recommend cutting your losses and shutting down accounts that you dont need that much that serve as a vector of attack, private the ones that you kinda want to keep, switch email address, etc

Why doesn't tech have a dedicated AI thread, because the bubble is so mystifying at times, like why is nobody talking about the Nvidia anti-trust probe, they're worth like a trillion dollars and it's all because AMD keeps vacillating between fully backing drop-in CUDA replacements that are GPU agnostic and just… vanishing from the ML space entirely even though it's clearly where all the silicon valley money is going. What's going on, it's like some mafia shit because nobody can even agree on whether Nvidia's patents are legal or not, or why AMD chooses to get cucked out of a trillion smackaroonies

All you missed out on was a couple years of inflated FAGMAN salaries in a tiny high cost of living area. There are still fun developer jobs, and if anything you can get WFH at small companies a lot easier if that floats your boat. Programming is still fun.

>I've honestly never met someone like this at work. They mostly haunt free software IRC, I'm not even sure they're employed. I do tease my trans friend that she'd be better off as a catgirl developer however.

trvthnvke, same for me, it's a myth started by transhumanist unemployed ""coders"" to cope with the difference between their desire to be and belief that they are good coders, and the objective truth of the objective reality, by associating their apparel with
Most of xem i see online work in You'll Never Be A Real Programmer(tm) languages, like Python, JS, some Rustranshumanists too.

Great advice for the few Chads wishing to do compiled languages, but nowadays most is done in shiterpreted languages

>>25673
That's good advice if you want to write 20 lines in the language. OP mentionned he wants to be a software engineer, not a ""coder""" though. When you are engineering software, there is way more than just the syntax. You can't know the performance, ecosystem, use cases, job market situation, build system etc… from the syntax

>>18617
Learn C and Lisp. The former teaches you things about memory that most languages are unwilling to show you, the latter teaches you things about compilers that most languages aren't even remotely equipped to show you. If you can learn these two, you can learn basically any other language in existence.

>>25770
I know a good number of trans programmers in real life who do good work. The internet is not real life.
