"The short version is that YouTube used AI to 'enhance' the videos of Rick Beato and Rhett Shull. YouTube used an AI smoothing filter that made the videos look like they were AI generated, and didn’t tell Beato, Shull, or their viewers that they were doing it. They only admitted to it after the two made videos proving it happened, later claiming it was only a 'limited test'.”

"Their excuses are irrelevant. They’ve opened Pandora’s box; they’ve told the world that they can and will edit videos after they’ve been uploaded, and will not tell creators or viewers. You can’t trust anything you see anymore, even from creators who adamantly do not use AI. Sure, it’s 'just' an AI smoother today, but tomorrow they could put an ad straight in the video, or remove something they don’t like."

YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc)
This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered.
If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here:

Just heard from someone who works at Wowburger that the company takes any gratuity you leave on the payment machines.
So, if this is true, it’s illegal in Ireland. Not to mention, a dick move regardless.
Anyone in Ireland know the Wowburger folks and/or where I can lodge a complaint about this?

When billionaires can't make enough money from consumers anymore, they go for government contracts.
This is how they continue to get even richer on your money, but without your consent.
Tell your government loudly that you want none of this.
See also Micron / Crucial for a timely example of this very phenomenon 😐

So long, Frank Gehry, and thanks for all the fish!
(We have our own blinding architectural landmark on the east bank of the river at the University of Minnesota.)
'With the advent of new computer technologies, Mr. Gehry’s work became increasingly sculptural. For the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, he designed a monumental fish sculpture using software developed for the French aerospace industry. It was one of a number of massive sculptures he created, including the 1986 “Standing Glass Fish” at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis (where he would go on to design a 1993 building clad in faceted steel plates that resembled tinfoil) and the 1987 “Fish Dance” in Kobe, Japan.'
