A.I. is proving that 20<40 by:

  • creating a sequence
  • then completely disregarding that
  • then saying that since you can add 20 to itself to create 40 it must be less
  • then disregarding that and saying that the sequence of numbers proves it because we found 20 first

Honestly since it's such a simple equation, in real life you could just say 20<40 because 20<40. You don't really need to prove anything, the proof is in the logical operator. The homework question is dumb because it isn't clear what they're asking for.

According to this page:

Creators earn money from these subscriptions through a dedicated pool of revenue for each subscription type: 30% of the net subscription revenue for Premium and 60% for Premium Lite. This allocation factors in the costs of operating and promoting the service, including amounts we pay to music partners. This pool is distributed to creators based on member watch time and views, and from that distribution creators receive revenue share: 55% for long-form videos and 45% for Shorts.

TLDR: YouTube premium pays out to each content creator about A$0.23 per month. Regular ad watching gives A$0.09 per month.

Tap for math

Current price of premium is A$16.99 a month in Australia. 30% of $16.99 totals $5.10 monthly pool distributed across every content creator you watch. 70% or $11.90 of your monthly fee goes straight to YouTube and royalties to maintain their music platform you may or may not use.

The math gets really speculative here, but let's say you watch 20 different content creators, half of them make long form videos like Reject Convenience, half of them make shorts. You watch an even mix of 10 minute videos and shorts. Each long form content creator will receive ($5.10 • 0.55) / 10 = $0.28. Each shorts creator will receive ($5.10 • 0.45) / 10 = $0.23. Per month. It's a pittance really.

In comparison, an ad view gives about $0.03 per view, which if you watched 3 videos from each creator, would total $0.09. So premium gives more, but it's like 14¢ per month more per person.

I can't be bothered converting all these numbers to USD, sorry. You can roughly calculate it for your own situation using this formula:

C = (P • 0.3 • F) / N

Where

  • C is Content Creator Payout (each)
  • P is price of YouTube premium for you
  • F is form of content. 0.55 for long form, 0.45 for shorts
  • N is how many content creators in the same group of F you watch per month

He said the scripts built a WebAudio graph that introduced a sawtooth oscillator to generate a waveform, an analyzer to measure the result after the waveform passes through a browser’s audio implementation, and a script to read the associated frequency data.

This is a fairly interesting method of fingerprinting. Annoying too, as it hogs the audio channels as experienced by the discoverer

The crazy part is placebo often works even if you're aware of it. You can knowingly take a blank pill and it will help you. Like c'mon brain, can't we just skip the middleman?

Sounds like a hilarious read, like that Reddit for bots thing Moltbook

Actually it wasn't hilarious, it was extremely boring. I looked up a game I played recently Quasimorph and it just yaps on and on for fucking ever. There is no way to verify accuracy because no human could ever possibly read 36 paragraphs of pointless meandering waffle, without even any maple syrup

Yeah this feels like a turning point. Right now for most people it's a vague threat of privacy most people are somewhat aware of like "meh it's probably fine". If this goes through, it changes to a very real risk of being systematically doxxed at any time by whoever asks.

I remember my most downvoted comment was on a video of someone driving down a residential street with cars parked on both sides of the road and no visibility. They were going exactly the speed limit, and they collide with a kid that pops out between cars, as kids are wont to do, and the dad comes out and punches the car in anger and yells at the driver.

I commented that maybe you should slow down a bit when you're in a dangerous situation like that where you can't see pedestrians. Multiple people replied that the kid deserves to die for… being a kid? I think it was at worse than -100 votes when I checked before deleting my account. This was before A.I., but after it started becoming a toxic rage-bait machine. Everyone was in full justice boner mode for the dad and the kid being evil and stupid, and that drivers are completely within their rights to go full speed and hit any kids if they happen to appear.

It's really a good case study on the way the average Redditor thinks / acts.

Unsolicited advice, but don't skip meals, even if other things have to be deprioritised. It really fucks you up and can send you into a spiral where everything gets worse. Source: skipped meals when I was newly disabled and it fucked me up.
