Mark has always been icky for me. I watch these kinds of videos almost excellently - the science-tech ones; yet I avoid him like the plague.

That price wouldn’t even begin to cover it. Infrastructure is expensive at that quality. Engineers to maintain such infrastructure are also expensive. Content creators make a ton of money too. Their profits are much lower compared to peers - https://mannhowie.com/youtube-valuation

Also, 22$/month gets you a family plan for 5 people so wtf are you talking about?

I don’t give 2 shits about YouTube, I use ad block where I can too. I’m just saying that people who complain about YouTube’s anti-adblock stuff are being unrealistic, you can’t fault them for trying to block people from stealing from them.

Are you saying that the ads shouldn’t be video ads but webpage ads, instead?

It’s their job.

Yeah, exactly why they are enforcing anti-adblock rules…

How do you propose YouTube should pay for infrastructure costs (servers, Internet etc), staff costs (engineers, designers, moderators) and the content creators?

You taking your experience with a few AliExpress sellers & Tiktok owners and generalizing it to Chinese culture is the definition of racism.

This is incredibly racist. So I really hope this is a troll post.

I am wondering this too. I can’t imagine why they would be this sloppy. It’s also possible that it is one executive who is trying to save himself and maybe throw someone else under the bus.

I don’t understand why this comment is inevitably under every Tiktok thread. Everyone knows Big Tech spies for the govt especially the lawmakers, precisely why they don’t want a hostile foreign govt doing it.

China knows this too - that’s why FB, Google etc are banned there. So what’s your point?

Nah. Short penis privilege 😎

What is it?

I sit on the toilet to pee at home. Why do all guys just not do that? It’s better in every way.

Is that joke that on a cosmic level, it’s mostly hydrogen and helium (?) so others get ignored, like how genders other than the usual 2 get ignored? If so, that’s so smart and funny, wow.

Or is it something else that I’m not getting?

Nice post history, OP. Not unhinged at all.

Thank you for that!

The problem is the first frame. The woman says she doesn’t think a whole group shouldn’t exist. You can’t say that and expect a person from that group to ask why she thinks he should be dead… Replace the sealion with any minority group and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Replace what she said with “trans women are women” or something progressive and I would be 100% on board with the comic. At best the comic is executed badly, at worst it’s an exercise in making anti-racists look bad.

This comic sucks and openly defends racist rhetoric. Why is it so highly upvoted on Lemmy?

Not true. We have capable robots now. See Boston Dynamics like the other commenter said. Plus we have had industrial robots making cars and stuff forever now. To make robots that can handle a wide variety of things (every ship is bound to be different) is hard and we don’t have data to train such models (see reinforcement learning, imitation learning, “sim2real” problem etc)

“AI” researcher here. The only reason there are models that can “write” and “create art” is because that data is available for training. Basically people put massive amounts of digital text and images on the Internet and the companies scraped all of it to train the models. If there were big enough datasets for ship building, that would happen too…

I would be surprised if ITU lets them get away with that. 🤔

Kinda funny how you think she is a kid but the POS police officer thinks she was too old and therefore had “limited value”.

I mean he has a history of doing this… Also, it’s not an audio recording. He joined a live audio chat and everyone on the chat (Alex Jones and some other weirdo) thought it was Elon.
