My bet is on exactly that being the plan. Stocks go down, tech companies pay to bribe him, next Tuesday a reversal of tariff plans, stocks go up, rich people make more money. Rinse, repeat

Most of the cheap IOT crap is still insecure, requires a signin and a cloud connection to spy on you and steal your data. Of course there are options to secure the devices (always have been) but for the nontechnical person this is out of reach, not only because doing that requires knowledge but also bc most people don’t even know about these issues or care about their privacy.


YouTube paid by the time people actually watched the videos in the past (as far as I know this changed recently) so there was a real incentive for Youtubers to add a lot of worthless filler to the videos


yw, also subscribing to the people providing good content should help too. Most of my feed is from subscriptions, with related content inbetween


I’m not encouraging you to use YouTube, but if you do, marking stuff you aren’t interested in and removing every slop video from your watch history can help a lot. The YouTube algorithm very rarely recommends slop to me


Possible, but they would more likely see more false positives depending on how suspicious they are… like when people suspected images to be photoshopped in the past.


Indeed. The average person seems to need instagram, whatsapp and xitter to fill their meaningless little isolated lives with distractions to feel… something. However on a more positive note, once people get suspicious about AI slop they tend to notice the slop patterns more easily, which is a good development. It’s something that can’t be unseen.
There’s a conflict of interests in there. Nvidia is heavily tied to OpenAI, Anthropic and the US government. The mostly chinese models hosted on huggingface are direct competitors and viewed as enemy tech by the US government.This is going to be a massive shitshow. Probably starts with banning de-censored versions of the models from the platform.
