> A transformer trained on all text and all of YouTube will be killer amazing at so much.

ah yes, a bot where the answer to everything is to buy ridge wallets and play raid shadow legends

It took a year's worth of a small nation's energy expenditure to train and all it does is tell you how Raycon earbuds will change your life.

I have never been so pleased to not get any of these references.

NewPipe/Freetube/Invidious instances + SponsorBlock API support is really great at filtering all of these useless advertising memes. Somehow ($$$) the behavior of TV adverts culture seeped into YouTube. I've not watched broadcast/cable TV in years, but when I interact with people that do, inevitably, they make similar references. It's super weird.

Wait...

You can auto skip the in-video sponsor ads?

Yeah, SponsorBlock (https://sponsor.ajay.app/) is crowdsourced data for the in-video ads. Weirdly enough, I've never contributed timestamps, but the vast majority of the content I watch has submitted timestamps. I support a bunch of creators on patreon, but very much disagree with their double dipping.

Whisper will frequently turn an empty audio file into “thanks for watching”.

This is a weird future.

inaccurate, how will I watch Netflix in foreign countries without Nord VPN?

Your AI overlords, brought to you by NordVPN and HelloFresh.

They'll give it the premium tier at least

Premium won't save you from Raid Shadow Legends. I don't know how but they'll put ads in your dreams if you're not careful.

They need to make sure to install sponsorblock for gpt and then it should be fine.
