Enough of the commentary creators I enjoy have moved to a new platform specifically to avoid being demonetized for showing short clips that I assume straight reposting wouldn’t need a whole AI push.
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Reaction Channels Death: YouTube cracks down on ‘unoriginal’ monetized content with improved detection.English101·3 months agoIn your opinion it will be reaction videos? There’s so many other kinds of “unoriginal” content they could be targeting. AI slop, the videos that are a single still image of a product zooming in and out slowly, there’s tons of different kinds of unoriginal out there.
hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•JD Vance lashes out at ‘profoundly wrong’ Supreme Court Chief Justice4·4 months agoThat’s a bit of a misunderstanding, US Colleges have a bit of catch up period in the first year or 2 of study where you are both getting some exposure to your new topic but also ensuring your prior education is on par with everyone else. We call these “general education requirements” or “gen ed” and it’s because high school graduation isn’t well standardized across the states. Most students can test at the start of College or show their high school work and skip some of the basic writing and math classes to the next level. These “gen ed” classes ensure every student at the school has a basic level of reading, writing, and maths to base the rest of their work on. The amount of these other classes you have to take, is based on your major so for example people majoring in Teaching have more than other majoring in Engineering based on the logic a teacher needs a broader education in everything than an engineer will.
It does sometimes result in odd situations like my Uncle who couldn’t pass a general education language course in his non-native language (Spanish for him) and so was denied a Mathematics Education Degree and needed an extra semester to finish a different mathematics degree that had fewer gen ed requirements.
This all also plays into why US undergraduate degrees are usually 4-5 year programs instead of the shorter degrees tracks in Europe.
That all said, JD has a 4 year degree in Poly-sci and an additional 3 in Law School and he’s still a complete moron. Not even Yale could fix that.

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Pinterest is finally doing something about its AI infestationEnglish12·5 months agoI started reporting every obvious AI image as Spam- Offensive a few weeks ago. I got more of it for a day o so and then substantially less. You generally have to be really firm with the Pinterest algorithm about showing the same content repetitively. Not just ads, any content.
I don’t love Pinterest but it’s the least stress visual feed I’ve used.

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. PlanEnglish6·5 months agoThe reason Nebula and Dropout work is they are making their own content. Since most anime are sourced from the Manga or Light Novel sources, I don’t see an independent streaming company being able to get the rights and $$ to make animated content to stream. Also, animation is both expensive and takes a long time so any independent platform would need 2-4 of funding after making content to be able to survive long enough to make season 2 of anything.

Also schools will require extra fees like trip costs to be paid by check because they are paid into older bank accounts that they don’t have online payment equivalents.
Paper checks are a pain, but they have lower fees than most other ways of giving money. Once you’ve paid for the book of papers, that’s it. Each check only costs your account the exact amount written for and the recipient’s bank gives them the exact amount you wrote. No extra percentage or flat fee on the transaction and with smartphones you can scan the check and make the transaction happen electronically between the banks in 5 seconds. Every other way to do this has a flat or percentage fee for the money to move but a paper check is free.

hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schoolsEnglish71·5 months agoIt was almost the entirety of AM radio for the past 40 years. Sports and this right-wing trash. On in the background at every work place, hardware store, and cafe until Muzac took over. Had that ranting asshole and his friends pumping into our ears wanting it or not. Many areas of the country had only that and Country Music for hours in any direction.
When I said “if you knew what you were doing” I meant you can build an AM receiver out of literal trash with a middle school understanding of electrics but no one bothered because you had one built in to every car, every tape player, boom box, alarm clock, and anything else with a speaker. You had a radio in every room of the house and 2 in the garage even if you never turned it on. There’s no way to believe that phones have less cultural push than AM radio had pre-1990.

It’s not like the government is gonna back off “Oh shit the liberals got guns now, better stop pushing them.”

The ease of access is not what made republican bigotry accessible or popular.
Please also see people who need employees to assist with the touchscreen ordering and self-check. If you want to talk to a person, please use the line for talking to a cashier.
