oars··on YouTube removed dislike counts, so this guy made Rotten Tomatoes for YouTube
Doubtful that they can do this in a way that accurately and effectively helps the user compared to showing the dislike count.

YouTube is plagued by low quality content with clickbait titles, descriptions, and images. Often they outright lie about the content. The recommendation algorithm prioritizes these videos first.

Users can't determine in advance that these videos are poor quality, so they'll be forced to watch those poor quality videos until they find a good one. YouTube wants it to be like this because it increases time on the platform and their advertising revenue.

Along the way, users can dislike these videos but that video still gains views which helps push itself upwards in the recommendation algorithm. Particularly videos with clickbait titles, descriptions, and images tend to amass large numbers of views in short periods of time, which YouTube may recognize as "going viral" and give it an additional push in its recommendations when searching for important keywords.

Furthermore, many users are also watching these videos whilst not logged in or don't care to click dislike, which is another lacking signal to help tune YouTube's ranking algorithm correctly.

oars··on DeepMind cofounder warns govts must find solutions for jobs lost to A.I
Thanks! You are also missing a few other elements which need to be removed:

``` document.querySelector('.paywallActive').classList.remove('paywallActive'); document.querySelector('.paywallFade').classList.remove('paywallFade'); document.querySelector('.paywall-selector').classList.remove('paywall-selector') ```

Optional: This also hides that subscription banner (or you can just scroll past it if it doesn't both you)

``` $(document).ready(function () { $(".pn-offer-grid__body").hide(); }); ```

oars··on Hugging Face Releases Agents
What is the definition of "agency" in this context?
oars··on LLMs are not greater than the sum of their parts: researchers
Also curious about these emergent properties too. Interesting responses and links to this in child comments.
oars··on Apple reports Q2 2023 results
I can't believe they're still selling so many iPhones. $220 billion yearly revenue is at least 220 million iPhones sold a year. Where are all these people buying new iPhones? I don't think they're really gaining market share in the US at least, so unless it's overseas market share growing people are just replacing their perfectly good phones from a few years ago for reasons I can't comprehend. I mean that's 3 out of every 100 people in the world buying an iPhone just in the last year.

oars··on Midjourney CEO Silencing Satire About Xi Jinping
Same here.

Although you say "slightly Manga-ish" women - I saw some quite realistic photos.

Your comment was posted 22 hours ago though. It's possible that the models (pun unintended) have gotten even better since you last looked.
