My muscle memory is to hit power-right-ok to open youtube when I turn the tv on, most of the time without looking at it. The other day, it ended up still sitting on the default menu item after I did that. This must have popped up then. Something that can be dismissed without ever actually seeing it is certainly not enforceable.

I think 1-3 are fine (since nothing really happens without a human involved), but 4 should come in after several months of testing the model to make sure its false positive rate is as close to 0 as possible.

I in general think that LLM/“AI” stuff is massively overblown when used for creating content, but when analyzing stuff, it’s much more reasonable to employ as a referral to humans to make the final decision.

I guess I’ve just been lucky in that I’ve not gotten any spam yet on masto…

I used Opera way back in high school over 2 decades ago. The name has been around for a long time, but I don’t know how related the current company is to back then… The product certainly isn’t related anymore since it’s just another chromium clone.

Hmm, it still resolves for me, but nothing ever responds. The domain doesn’t expire for over a year still. Perhaps it’s just a transient issue?

RTGs are still used for outer solar system missions. Not enough light for solar panels. Hell, even the Perseverance Mars rover, which was launched in 2020, has an RTG.

proprietary Chinese company

Gonna need a citation for this. Pretty sure they’re a privately-held US company.

Huh. 98% of my youtube consumption is on either TV or phone apps at this point, though, so they really wouldn’t have a place to put something like that. Or maybe they would and I just haven’t watched anything that would have it. Who knows.

Paramount Plus definitely likes shoving a 30 second ad before your show even on the ad-free plan, though…

I’ve had Premium since whenever it was first introduced (a decade at this point?) and I’ve never seen a youtube-provided ad during that time, assuming I’m logged into the appropriate account.

AIOs typically pretend to be a fan and you would only need to use that with a custom loop.

most places have a gate at the exit that only lets you leave by scamming your receipt

That would be unlawful detention here. Also, what about people that go in and decide they don’t actually want to buy anything after all?

Fun fact: You can ignore the receipt checkers at wal-mart in the states. They have no legal authority to require you to stop. Costco, on the other hand, since it’s a membership club, can.
