YouTube shorts are cancer already. I’ve had them blocked ever since they appeared.
Is that opinion because you’re on a phone? They’re OK by me on a PC and big TV. OTOH, if I’m not logged in, the pure shit they shovel at me, yikes.
They’re designed to keep people with poor impulse control caught in a constant loop of short garbage clips. A bigger screen is not going to change that.
Also I don’t normally watch YouTube on my phone unless I’m travelling and when I do I use NewPipe.
Never watched one, never will. Rarely watch YouTube either except the odd music video.
Don’t care. Just don’t use them, as a I do.
I can’t wait until AI video is good enough that you can input a book and it outputs a movie which is as faithful as you like to the original, you can change how all the characters look, etc
can you not do this in your head
I was reading old mates comment thinking… This dude is just describing reading a book.
Omg i just checked out Veo 3, and videos can never be believed again. I mean it couldn’t in the past either, but at least you had to have technical video editing skills or the money to pay someone who does. But now any schlub can just type a dumb text prompt and the machine will generate an extremely realistic looking video of exactly what you wrote. Insane. Absolutely insane.
How are we this far in the future right now?!
Don’t worry. The energy usage from this will significantly help warm the planet, so it will all soon be over.
Good thing PeerTube exists, you could always just move there. Google stopped being trustworthy for creators as soon as they announced Veo 3 if not even before then.
Similarly, with Reddit, Meta, Twitter, and Pinterest further embracing AI, you got this site, Mastodon, and Pixelfed to move to as far as the Fediverse goes and even Bsky while they’re still anti-AI, although given Bsky is a centralized, corporate platform, what’s stopping them from going the way of Google, Reddit, Meta, Twitter, and Pinterest at some point in the future?
It doesn’t matter where you view videos, the output from the ai generators is just an mp4 file that can be uploaded anywhere
