Curious about preference stack:

A) Within their favorite LLM, data sharing with Plaid and the frontier lab.

B) An entirely self-hosted agent on their computer with open source LLM models + WhatsApp / SMS communication channels.

C) I don't care about conversational finance.

I’m not raising a question about his rights or generosity.

He and other independent political pundits have large audiences and as a result generate valuable content for the platform.

If the game theory above plays out and cynical actors act cynically, it will ultimately hurt YT in the long term run and drive users to other platforms (I’d assume Twitter).

I think YT may be opening a can of worms for themselves.

As a disclaimer, I’m not a Brand content consumer and I’m also not commenting on the validity of the claims.

I’m aware that he’s a popular populist and the slippery slope is obvious here, independent of the particulars of the specific case.

The playbook to silence a relatively loud political voice is now obvious from the YT response. It is a given that cynical actors on all sides will evolve to further exploit this strategy, especially so if accusers do not have to testify under oath.

YouTube, on a common sense basis, should have recognized that political reality today and tred more carefully — much more so than for a travel influencer, for example.

The long term game theory here, like brand boycotts, is hopefully that the exploitation of this strategy by all political players would lead to the strategy losing power due to general fatigue and whataboutisms.

Great question! Presently the AI is primarily used as a tool for our human experts and end users to generate ideas for prompt responses, captions, etc. It’s not meant to be entirely self deterministic but it’s quite useful practically speaking.

It’s really just a fraud concern in the short term if money is involved but definitely planning to change that

I use vendors rather than storing myself. Tokenization only :)
