  • Paul took the clips in stride, initially putting on a grave voice and decrying that “this AI is getting out of hand,” only to buy into the trend by acting camp in a response video posted to TikTok on Monday.

    Proof? That video response sounds like AI.

    But his girlfriend, Dutch professional speed skater Jutta Leerdam, wasn’t impressed. “I don’t like it, it’s not funny!” she told him in a video. “People believe it.”

    Proof? That video sounds fake. Maybe this is all a ruse by the girlfriend to slander Jake Paul.

    I don’t actually believe that, but this article is written based on videos uploaded to TikTok, there is no proof any of the events described took place.

    Things are about to get much worse.




  • Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re watching?

    You can watch reality TV on YouTube, or traditional television.

    You can watch educational content and documentaries on YouTube, or traditional television.

    Hell you can watch some traditional TV shows on YouTube or traditional television.

    YouTube is just a platform for hosting content. Now they may have a “better” algorithm compared to traditional television, but that doesn’t really change much.

    Computers were either Windows or Mac, they couldn’t be anything else, that was a fact. Then I saw someone using Linux and had so many questions. How? I was given a Knoppix live CD, went home, and booted my home PC into Knoppix and it changed my perception of computers.

    I didn’t change over immediately but eventually Ubuntu was handing out install CDs and YouTube was full of wobbly windows and desktop cubes. It wasn’t useful but it looked cool.

    I still needed Windows for gaming, but for day to day it was so much easier to use Linux.

    Eventually my gaming was exclusively on the Switch and then was I was looking to play certain PC games the Steam Deck was available, so I bought that.

    I think Windows 8 was the last one I used and I’ve never had any desire to go back. Linux is just easier.


  • Due to this post I just found mine.

    For the longest time I’ve been trying to find a video that featured someone copying a VHS recording over and over again, each time loosing a little bit of quality.

    The specific video featured a catchy song, but I couldn’t remember the song or any of the words. I’ve found a few different videos over the years but every time I found a video the song was wrong.

    Every few years it’s jumped into my head and I’ve gone off looking for it, but could never quite figure it out.

    This time I either put in just the right terms or the magic algorithm has moved it around,

  • Let’s try flying.

    You can fly, but you still have to put in the same amount of effort as if you couldn’t fly.

    For example if you want to fly over a house it would be at the same speed as climbing a ladder and taking an equal amount of time.

    Or if you wanted to fly a mile away it would be the same as running or walking a mile. Also if you want to carry someone or something, how fast could you move while doing it? Same as on the ground or in the air.

    Basically you still get the convenience of flying, but you have to put in all the work.










  • who needs the web?

    Generative AI that’s who. For it to spit out information, it needs information. The argument may be that it is better at collecting all that information in one place and returning an answer, although we know it hallucinates responses. But to even begin a response it needs data, it needs the web.
