I hope nobody lets them know that Firefox on Linux has never shown ads for any of their content.

Don’t worry. Linux is only 4% of the total computer market. They aren’t bothered with you because Linux isn’t worth it.

That’s fine, we’re happy to keep the better choice to ourselves. 😆

SmartTube for Android TV is a must as well

You don’t have to actually watch sponsorships since most of them are paying the creator excluding the ones where they pay by clicks on a custom link

YouTube is just on demand TV with extra steps these days. I’ve stopped watching videos, I have an LLM transcript and summarize for me now. 99% of the content of a 10-15 minute video can be summarized into 1 or 2 pages and read in under 2 minutes.

Only a matter of time before LLMs start injecting their own ads into these responses.

Nah, local LLMs are easily in the range of transcribe/summarize. I bet you could do that nicely with llama 8B without even needing a gpu.

Cant wait to have these

By that point I’m pretty sure we’ll have an effective compact model that can run locally and transcribe downloaded videos on reasonable hardware. Or you can just sic a paid model like chatgpt on the task. The corporate Internet is entirely focused on subscription service models now, unless you run the model yourself on local hardware you’re going to end up paying someone somewhere a service fee.

I think I need this, finally a real use for ‘ai’.
The amount of how to videos you have to watch through, when all you want is one little piece of info you should be able to search or scan for has been a problem since before the internet figured out how to increase clicks by making a web page in to slides.
Can you link me a how-to video on how to get startedt and send me a summary from your working setup?
seaQueue@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It’s just two steps, first get a transcript from the video somehow (use the whisper API if you’re willing to pay a small amount or just Google “transcribe YouTube video” and look for an ad supported site that’ll do it via Google.) Second: use chatgpt or local llama to summarize the transcript.
