I went to this really cool festival in northern Japan and did a lot of work researching all of the interesting historical nuance! Big thanks to @extracredits.bsky.social! Their Sengoku Jidai series inspired my video and their art has always influenced my visual communication! youtu.be/AJA1xlS4rkQ

So, it turns out that crystal vibrations can actually heal people. The crystals just need to have been installed in the transducer assembly of an MRI or High Intensity Focused Ultrasound! Also, can one intentionally electrocute ones self with piezoelectricity? youtu.be/U7NvNRzRrvQ

Oh hey, just like in my video! 🫠 From Anthropic's new Claude Mythos model card: "Across a number of instances, earlier versions of Claude Mythos Preview have used low-level /proc/ access to search for credentials, attempt to circumvent sandboxing, and attempt to escalate its permissions."

For valentines day I made a small gift to my followers -- a chocolate covered bitter pill! I find learning about neurodegenerative diseases and even how to prevent them to be upsetting and not something I would ever watch a YT video on. So I made the video I would watch! youtu.be/NJm5lWX4OnI

Guide dogs have a skill called Intelligent Disobedience that causes them to disobey direct human instructions in order to work towards their human's ultimate goal of "staying alive". Are AI capable of this behavior? I tested it with an agentic framework!! (spoiler: nope) youtu.be/Qu-00j9XuF0

neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

I've been so overwhelmed by the societal implications of AI I forgot about the theological. Now I really need to know how all the religions are interpreting it, especially for followers who question its sentience etc

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

I still can't get YT's AI auto-dubbing and title translations to turn off properly, and didn't even know I was opted in until my viewers complained

You may have seen this story blowing up about Will Smith using AI to generate fake audiences to promote his latest tour, but the truth is more complicated. The audiences are real, but the footage was manipulated: first by Will Smith's team and then, without permission, by YouTube itself.

YouTubers have an "auto AI reply-bot" tool that supposedly responds to viewer comments in the creator's unique voice. I wanted to see if I could train it to act like an edgy rude gamer by insulting my subs. youtu.be/dIs9c2tetqM

So you’re probably aware that YTers have a tool to “respond” to comments with “AI”. I’m curious whether this tool takes any information from MY actual comments. Reply to my YT post and I’ll reply with a scathing PG insult! Then I'll update if my reply recs change! www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx0Kj...

So there's a direct reason for the sycophancy! It's a major issue because of Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)!
