It only "take jobs" because it's useful. It's useful for making transcription at scale, text revision, marketing material, VFX, all those things. It also does other things that don't "take jobs", like computer voice control. It's just a tool, useful for everyone, and not harmful at all at its purpose. Comparing it to guns is just ridiculous.

Why are humans pushing themselves to do challenging stuff? I don't know man, but it's just what we do, and I think that's cool.

So this is about the ego of professionals? As the other person explained, there are many use cases for disposable software, so it's a good thing that there's a new tech enabling non-programmer to create these on their own.

People are complaining about it because they think it's unfair and it's abuse of IP law. People's interests aren't defined by court decisions.

You mean we're not there in simulating an actual human brain? Sure. But we're seeing AI work like a human well enough to be useful, isn't that the point?

I don't know why people are worried about storage. You can just store it on the cloud.

I've seen many people arguing he's the most intelligent person that ever lived

It is an obviously wrong approach. There are plenty of intelligent people out there, this doesn't keep them from being occasionally wrong. If you have access to the opinion of people who devoted their whole lives to the field in question, why would you seek it from an influencer that perhaps gained fame from being an authority in a couple of non-related fields?

Is it not reasonable to expect that the keyword "share" functions the same as the share button? I don't know the standards you have for the things you buy, but I find unacceptable that a thing I paid (handsomely) for twists my orders to share adverting to my contacts under my name, and part of the reason things are so bad is because at every valid criticism there are people defending these stuff as normal

Nowadays there are games for all tastes being released weekly, the biggest game of the year, Elden Ring, seems exactly what you're looking for. Also try indies like Slay the Spire, Into the Breach and Rollerdrome

I disagree with the premise of your answer. The statements "there are new, interesting CLI apps" and "there are more critical GUI apps nowadays" aren't mutually exclusive, actually they both make sense if you consider the number of apps out there is always increasing.

Ok, this is obviously a very shallow reading, but I can see myself coming back to it in moments of need to find new perspectives.

I really don't know what you want here, my man. You're asking for irrefutable proof when no one can provide it. This is a curious set of events, not a legal case. If they had the proof you want this would be a much bigger story wouldn't it?

Your YouTube comment specifically makes no sense, copyright strike on what material? Also, didn't you just said that "shadowban" happens all the time? Now it's never been seen before?

Again, I have no idea what you want here.

He has an older tweet mentioning the visit https://twitter.com/_SecondThought/status/132335626258786304...

Journalists surveilled by the DHS for documenting police violence in the US (the best I could do with your very specific request) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/31/dhs-intellig...

YouTube quickly rolled back on the supposed shadowban, but it's very well documented by users on Twitter, Reddit and YouTube, to the point he would need to have a bot army to fake it. I mentioned the warnings on the video as further evidence of YouTube (specifically or systematically, IDK) targeting the video.

Now where you have a good point in my opinion is that he could have shared info on the agents, if he had this info and was legally allowed to. There are reasons he could have not shared, but it's still a good point of speculation.

He claims to have received a visit from the DHS about his other video on police brutality called "America's Police Problem", months before the CIA video situation.

Yes, he doesn't offer evidence the DHS visited him, but I don't see which evidence he could have on that, if you know please share with us. As it stands I don't see any reason to call BS from the start, it seems to fit the DHS's MO, I don't see what's unbelievable about it.

On his video on the CIA, I've never seen another case of a YouTube video showing three content warnings (on Android) before letting you watch it. How directly involved the American government is on it is anyone's guess, it's probably a more systematic action from YouTube, but I wouldn't doubt the government directly requested to not promote it in any way.
