ThatFembyWho , to Technology in Google to shut down Keen, its experimental Pinterest-like social media platform

Why stop there? Shut it all down. Pull the plug.

I'm still waiting for Android to be deprecated

Siegfried , to Technology in Google to shut down Keen, its experimental Pinterest-like social media platform

I have seen dead social media or social media approaching its dead, but I ve never seen this. Keen looks like it had zero activity for a long, long time.

How is Google the top advertiser and yet nobody knows about their other products??

RustyNova , to Technology in YouTube now requires creators to disclose when AI-generated content is used in videos

That's a win, but it would need to be enforced... Which is harder to do

Uvine_Umbra ,

Harder, but in this with mutliple generations of people being trained to question every link and image on screen? Not necessarily impossible.

People will report this for sure if they feel confident.

There will definitely be false flags though

Vilian ,

this only gonna train i.a to not look like i.a

Uvine_Umbra ,

... They'd progress that way regardless so...

Sabata11792 ,

I'm waiting for the constant big drama when it turns out Big Popular Youtuber of the Week gets accused of using/not using Ai and it turns out the oppsite is true.

That's good, but soon every video will partially be AI because it'll be build in into the tools. Just like every photo out there is retouched with Lightroom/Photoshop.

pdxfed ,

To your point, Samsung's CEO said there is no such thing as a real photo when they were criticized for highly adjusting pictures on some of their newer cameras a year or two ago. Google's phones have had lighting and other effects that are helpful and make great improvements to shots(fixing lighting, removing photobombs, etc) that most people wouldn't say is AI but that's exactly what it is.

AmidFuror , to Technology in YouTube now requires creators to disclose when AI-generated content is used in videos

Will this apply to advertisers, too? They don't block outright scams, so probably not. Money absolves all sins.

Thorny_Insight ,

Your YouTube is not working optimally if you're seeing ads there

AmidFuror ,

My point was that ads are a big part of the typical user's experience, and it is hypocritical to believe AI needs to be disclosed but not apply that to paid content.

Dudewitbow ,

tbf, a lot of ads are already misleading as it is, so pointing out AI isnt going to change its perception much.

LordCrom ,

What? Didnt you know the government is giving away 6400.00 to everybody if you but only claim it by filling out this form on my sketchy website with all your personal info....?

CluckN , to Technology in YouTube now requires creators to disclose when AI-generated content is used in videos

It’s a good first step. If claiming your AI video is real gets more views then I’m curious if the risks outweigh the cost of being caught.

You can only really pull that with older people and children. Most of us millennials can spot the patterns AI gen produces, but I've seen my dad just consume the content and be largely unaware of the fact that it was artificially generated. He constantly complains those videos say nothing but watches tons of them anyways, mostly related to non-news about sports.

redcalcium , to Technology in YouTube now requires creators to disclose when AI-generated content is used in videos

Creators must disclose content that:

Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t do

Alters footage of a real event or place

Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur

So, they want deepfakes to be clearly labeled, but if the entire video was scripted by chatgpt, the AI label is not required?

GamingChairModel ,

Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur

Doesn't this describe, like, every mainstream live action film or television show?

Hexagon ,

Technically, yes... but if it's in movie/show, you already know it's fiction

Usernameblankface ,
@Usernameblankface@lemmy.world avatar

Bold of you to assume that everyone knows movies and shows aren't real.

FaceDeer ,
@FaceDeer@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, but this doesn't put any restrictions on stuff, it just adds a label to it.

essteeyou ,

Also a lot of video game footage from livestreams, etc.

HarkMahlberg ,
@HarkMahlberg@kbin.social avatar

Wouldn't this enable, for example, Trump claiming he didn't make the "bloodbath" comment, calling it a deepfake, and telling Youtube to remove all the new coverage of it? I mean, more generally, what stops someone from abusing this system?

affiliate ,

this is going to be devastating for all the prank youtube channels

FaceDeer , to Technology in YouTube now requires creators to disclose when AI-generated content is used in videos
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

None of this is AI-specific. Youtube wants you to label your videos if you use "altered or synthetic content" that could mislead people about real people or events. 99% of what Corridor Crew puts out would probably need to be labeled, for example, and they mostly use traditional digital effects.

... Can you imagine if steam releases it's store the day after and eats epics lunch again?

keefshape ,

I'd buy tickets for that!

Eggyhead ,

Imagine this extending to the Vision Pro and getting native access to the Steam VR library on that.

Don’t be delusional. Apple would never allow for that unless forced to 😜

Eggyhead ,

I would say the same for iPhone.

themurphy , to Technology in The Epic Games Store is launching its iOS and Android versions later this year

The title needs to say it's only for the EU. 3rd party app stores for iOS are not coming to the rest of the world.

And for android you'd probably be able to get the APK, but I'm not sure how the in-app purchases will work outside of EU.

Draupnir ,

Would it be possible to VPN to an EU address and download? Or travel to the EU and download this software?

Eggyhead ,

Would it be possible to VPN to an EU address and download?

If so, I’d imagine things are going to get hard for VPNs not too long after.

brbposting ,

To reflect the Digital Markets Act's changes, users in the European Union are able to install alternative app marketplaces and install apps offered through alternative app marketplaces in iOS 17.4 or later. The country or region of your Apple ID must be set to one of the countries or regions of the European Union, and you must be physically located in the European Union.

Your device eligibility for alternative app marketplaces is determined by using on-device processing, with only an indicator of eligibility sent to Apple. To preserve your privacy, Apple does not collect your device's location.

If you leave the European Union, you can continue to open and use apps that you previously installed from alternative app marketplaces. Alternative app marketplaces can continue updating those apps for up to 30 days after you leave the European Union, and you can continue using alternative app marketplaces to manage previously installed apps. However, you must be in the European Union to install alternative app marketplaces and new apps from alternative app marketplaces.

-Apple

Apparently it’s using GPS too so a VPN alone is insufficient? Didn’t find any YouTubers who’ve tried it.

Cuntessera ,
@Cuntessera@sh.itjust.works avatar

The short answer is “no”. According to Apple’s blog post on the DMA, you’d have to be living in the EU for all of this to work and if you travel outside the EU, everything would continue working for a while and then stop. They didn’t specify after how long things would break, though.

themurphy ,

They try really hard to not comply for anyone else.

Which means it's working really well and exactly as EU wanted to.

Oh boy, I sure can't wait to never hear about this again.

FiniteBanjo , to Technology in YouTube now requires creators to disclose when AI-generated content is used in videos

I'm sure that given the 99.99% ethical nature of AI enthusiasts and users that they will absolutely comply with this voluntary identification! /sarcasm
