You could convince Elon to do this by telling him it would be terrible for internet preservation.

AI is math, statistics specifically.

That's because ChatGPT and the likes use machine learning to calculate odds of word combinations that make up a plausible sentence in a given context. There are scientific studies that postulate we'll never have enough data to train those models properly, not to mention exponential energy consumption required. But this is not the only application of this technology.

Those caps are a way to cull the weakest parts of society. I too have hurt my dick on them but have learned to deal with them.

OP said that Olsen twins in Full House were unfuckable because they were too old by then.

Just pointing out that you made the reason for ban so vague that this fits the description.

Highly misleading. Samsung Next, a Samsung VC firm closed Israel offices but will keep investing in Israel.

This appears to be original source from a month ago: https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/by1p82me0

Today, I am sharing the news that Samsung Next has made necessary organizational changes in the Tel Aviv office to consolidate its activities. Israel remains an attractive market for Samsung Next, and the existing relationships with partners and portfolio companies will remain unchanged.

Google being an ass about alternative YouTube clients is somewhat dumb but they likely prefer to control user experience. They're a for profit entity so it shouldn't be that surprising. Google kicking users that cost them money is not dumb.

We'll never know since we don't have numbers that Google does. Sadly, that also makes Google the best candidate to determine what's the best strategy for them :p

TikTok creators I follow get miserable amounts of views on YouTube. Shorts algorithm is nowhere near as good as TT and it's missing loads of features that make TT unique. If those creators were forced to move they'd probably go with Instagram but that's a poor replacement too.

As a European I'm curious how TT will look like without Yanks. It's already much more usable after it was banned in India so there's that.

I'm fairly sure that long term TikTok plans to do long form videos too and their current approach has a benefit of getting their foot in the door. No other competitor of YouTube managed to do that before.

The neat thing about TikTok algo is that that they introduce different things and fine tune it to your liking without making things stale. This means those that are there for short form videos will keep on seeing them and their flow won't be interrupted. Those that are interested in longer ones will be presented with them. It's already happening but UI really needs refinement as it's kinda jarring now. It's still much better than how YouTube is trying to force shorts on their current users though.

Media are paywalling content but Facebook doesn't really produce anything other than their platform.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat, worrying that I don't see as many ads as the Yanks do.

Oh no, not the Facebook! I can't even imagine the world without all the good that it does!

Making you leave is their point since you cost them money.

Where will creators go to get those viewers back? TikTok?

Where will you go?

At their scale and cost optimization it's likely one of the few remaining holes to plug. I wouldn't underestimate how many people try to block YouTube ads which adds up quickly. Whatever the benefit is from allowing people to keep draining their resources, it probably doesn't outweigh benefits in the non-0% interest rate environment. Their monopoly is also nowhere near threatened and their biggest competitor could be banned in the US.
