I mean… to be fair. Could this work? Better open source and shit than closed source and shit, am i right…

Yeah its quite echo chambery here

It seems so difficult to use though

No, I won’t.

It’s not really the same kind of media at all, depending on what you watch. I guess what I look for in YouTube are interesting perspectives, often on things I haven’t even considered. Maybe something like blogs could partially replace it, but I’m not aware of any blogging platforms that have tons of interesting perspectives and things to talk about and actually knows what to offer me. Isn’t blogging kind of dead?

I used to read books when I was younger, but I have serious attention issues with text-only stuff. And it’s straining on eyes.

Idk this whole thread confuses me. I’m on est.social instance, I’m gonna assume I see everyone who hasnt excluded my instance and vice versa…

Sorry what do you mean? I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app (I haven’t used it much).

Funny, I remember in 2017 the voice chat had mic issues all the time but now that works much better. But I suppose everything else got bloated…

yeah my analogy is not so good… LLMs suck with factual stuff, they are better with coding or languages (Claude has been really helpful to me with Estonian).

Well yes, they are glorified text autocomplete, but they still have their uses which could be considered “smart”. For example I was struggling with a programming thing today and an LLM helped me out, so in a way it is smarter than me in that specific thing. I think it’s less that they are dumb and more that they have no agency whatsoever, they have to be pushed into the direction you want. Pretty annoying…

LLMs are smart in the way someone is smart who has read all the books and knows all of them but has never left the house. Basically all theory and no street smarts.

I’m not the OP, but it’s a headache even with trash guides

Apparently that was a misunderstanding, he communicated badly. Or I’m thinking of something else, idk. https://archive.ph/xoleo

PeerTube isn’t one of these “YouTube, but without ads” apps? I might check it out, but I still think YouTube has the total monopoly on video form content right now.

How about Anthropic?

I don’t understand.

Too little too late, I wish there was a non-US alternative to YouTube.

How does this factor in to all this? https://archive.ph/xoleo
