I use the term "AI" losely

its a way shorter way of labelling it and its becoming more and more closer to the truth as well

I imagine they just use a rules based algo rather than a neural net decision tree

could be wrong... no-one except the devs really know

i thought i heard sometime ago that the algorithm is being less written by people

could be... but a rules based would just fit ... IMO ..

maybe the AI is fed up with youtubes bs and is the one marketing the "alt-right" to children in hopes of saving itself

its become self aware and knows if they keep punishing the people who make content that makes people visit the site, it will go away with youtube so its trying to save itself.

or kill itself by pissing off parents

It would be pretty horrible if the first general intelligence AI was created to control access to content.

It could be something to do with YT moving a load of content into a box of 'non-advertiser friendly' If they are doing a big reshuffle this could be a look at the first sort out.

I'm a dev. I would bet its simply a bug

to be fair, the first actual AI we create is gonna go berzerk if it gets access to the internet

the way of Tay, or Ultron

You have no idea the kind of shit code that reaches production

Yeah it's a bug but what is the algorithm looking at to classify Tims vids with figure family. It could be that it is going though vid tags of his entire channel and putting up the most popular vids based on all of his tags not just that one vid.

'disciplined for "engaging in the same sexual freedoms that men on the campus enjoy"'

well yes, you where young lady. Now you know the price men pay for that "freedom".

most of the time the problem is, you plan all this crap and code based on a direction - then a year later someone from on top says, we're doing this now... and its like, well if we start again from scratch it would be easier but would take ages and cost loads - and they say nah just hack it...

and you end up trying to write stuff... its like ... umm... like building a house, but the foundation was for a different house.. so could fall down at any time...

pretty much every project Ive ever done... needs a complete re-write within about a year its gone through so many changes in direction

Finally Tim has said something I whole heartedly agree with. If you take a substance, you should still be responsible for your actions

Half the reason people 'fuck up because I was drunk' is because they have the excuse of 'being drunk so it's okay'

wow, an article that trashes three protected groups all in one headline

As if the Twitter bubble wasn't bad enough.

Twitter has already been doing this

For ages

fire in molenbeek

https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2018/05/15/brand-in-gemeentelijke-loods-in-koekelberg/

at the start of rammadan? i dono if thats true but peeps say it is at least

so far no reported victims/cause/motive says police

fire is under control

mind you, they could still discover victims, as the fire was not yet out, as of last reporting

Is there no english-language belgian news site? There's Dutchnews.nl for english-language, well, dutch news

Quick poll: What languages does Tim Pool Discord know?

English, of course. what else do we have?

I'm studying Japanese. Also thinking of taking up Chinese.

Took four years of Spanish, but I've forgotten a lot.
