I might be healing (probably fatigue) but there’s been a couple times now where I see a 3-hour video suggested on my timeline; and before I would jump right in, but nowadays, I’m too tired to even give it a chance if someone couldn’t get to a point I might not even agree within 20 minutes. - ThreadSky

I feel that.

I can basically track my mental health by how willing I am to start new things.

I dunno imagine making a video that circles around a wikipedia entry for an hour and then goes into a bunch of stuff you don’t agree with in a preachy way, and then you skip to the end to get to the point, and they’re like, “We should use ChatGPT too because the right uses it anyway.”

milph.mom•57 days ago

Couldn’t be me.

But I guess ChatGPT helped you get the video’s script that needlessly long because it went in redundant circles like you did.

Okay, I’m glad everyone else reached the exact same conclusion lol.

Always a good case when you release your big video and I go to your social media page and all your posts are QRTs with Google docs refuting claims of wrong information where you get ratio'd on every single one because your whole argument is "well didn't you watch the video?"

cackled at the Scorsese one

They do have some defenders that are circling the wagons and it's turning into its own QAnon for backing up the thesis: "all artists are corpo shills", but screaming it's motivated by transphobia when that has nothing to do with anything ends up leading down a slippery slope.

He just made a bad vid

milph.mom•54 days ago

If I'm going to be real, I think a lot of this was motivated primarily from small criticism that they got on a previous video for using AI voices for real people, and this led to them drawing a line in the sand, and the fact that there's going to be a long PART 2 makes me think they're seeing red.

milph.mom•54 days ago

A lot of creators have made bad kids that espouses views they wouldn't have even three years later.

I'VE made bad videos.

But I'm concerned this will eventually land them in a dark place where they double down on AI usage and only surround themselves with a positive reply echo chamber.

ultraman400.bsky.social•54 days ago

Some of these defenders are AI-bros too.

imored.bsky.social•55 days ago

It’s really, really worrying that this is the extent of thought people who should know better have about AI

princesshaily.bsky.social•55 days ago

Weren't they plagiarized by that one dude? James something or another?

sleepiestalex.bsky.social•55 days ago

Wait, wasn't this one of the people whose work got plagiarized in that hbomberguy video a while back? Why would they then go on to defend using what is essentially the plagiarism machine???

johnxuandou.bsky.social•55 days ago

Oh no this sucks, they used to make decent video essays, what a blunder. I read over their defense of the video and it's just a bunch of bunk saying that copyright is bad and we shouldn't do anything that supports copyright because it benefits people we don't like despite everything else.

ohmroc.bsky.social•55 days ago

people love to harp on how IP and copyright are 'pro big corporations' when without them as they are, the only ones EVER who would have the money to circle their wagons and protect their works WOULD be those exact same big corporations abusing it now. Why else are tech ghouls so anti-IP law?

socostx.bsky.social•55 days ago

it's extremely throwing out the baby with the bath water. like yeah, copyright is exploited by big entertainment conglomerates in annoying and sometimes harmful ways, *but it also still protects artists*.

luxlucifer.bsky.social•55 days ago

i've seen this take before and it always confuses the fuck out of me why this became an even somewhat popular take in leftist spaces. i've had to block multiple people on tumblr who think AI is good because copyright is bad or because people who are against AI are a little corny sometimes.

theofficialceo.bsky.social•57 days ago

I'm at the point where I hard pass any video that breaks the hour mark by default. If my pizza gets here before you can make your point you're wasting my time.

warpmart.bsky.social•57 days ago

I skip the first third, listen for a bit, then skip to the last 5 minutes for the inevitable summary and call it good
