  • That’s really more like a 15 year window because I remember the 90’s and early 00’s and by today’s standards, people were racist as shit and it was considered acceptable.

    Well, the Mango Mussolini nightmare started 10 years ago or so… so not too far off




  • I assumed they don’t do their research using random crap on “the internet”, but reliable experts, peer reviewed papers and such

    Yes, that is what they claim. But I am sure you have seen how hard it is now to find something even if you know exactly what you are looking for. It’s not like there are 2 libraries online for anything you need, right? You start researching about topic A and read that Dr XYZ did a study on this so you look for that study… just to find out Dr XYZ does not and has never existed.

    No specific claims about topics, funding, time or anything. And again, no numbers, so hard to argue objectively.

    So you want a specific number as to how many bad sources they are now forcing to discard because they turned out to be AI slop?


  • well, it may be a matter of context and tolerance here but I find the concept they are presenting is axiomatic and as such would not require any further explanation:

    They use the internet to research their videos… the internet is getting more and more polluted with false narratives… ergo, it is becoming harder to research for their videos. Without good source, there are no videos.

    If I tell you plants need water to exist but each season brings less and less rain year after year… would you say a title such as “drought is killing the plants” clickbaity?






  • The video gives an elaborate description on their evaluation of “AI” and it’s influence on the Internet at large. And then they conclude with “we’ll continue like before” directly contradicting the title.

    You missed the entire point of the video.

    The claims are simple:

    • in order to make this type of videos, they need to be able to reliable fact check

    • data on the internet is increasingly polluted by AI slop, making it harder to distinguish fact from slop

    • for now, they have no choice but to continue while being extra vigilant… but eventually, if things do not change, they will be unable to perform

    It’s the exact same situation about climate change… we need to act now, most of us will suffer otherwise but for now we continue on living while trying to adjust where we can (recycling, reusing, less/no meat, etc) even if we know that will not be enough long term.



  • She is 100% right and it’s incredible you describe this in detail about yourself but fail to internalize it.

    The spark just tends to fade for me, and I don’t believe in staying in a situation where I’m bored or unfulfilled, so I end things.

    Maybe after this happened to you TWICE you should have known you are not a person that can sustain a long term relationship and thus you shouldn’t… there are plenty of people out there who’d be happy with more casual, no-strings-attached, relationships, you included!

    You are basically shopping for pants after repeatedly getting tired of pants and scissor them into shorts… then asking “someone said I may not like pants, what’s up with that!!!”
