same… I couldn’t care less about titles or office politics… I just want some challenging work to do and a path to work-life balance

The idea is that if you focus on the work, all of that would/should follow…
I have read a few anecdotes from scholars basically confirming this: they were doing “everything right” and getting nowhere but the moment they decided to just do the work that makes them happy, all the titles and positions followed.
I believe Patricia Ryan Madson is one such story although not in a scientific branch. IIRC, she could not get permanent positions in any university even though she had a “perfect resume” but then decided to follow her passion and her career just took off.
I know this is idealistic, but I still wish this were how the world works

it’s not that type of channel… they never do more than a percentage or a rate.
their thing is to explain concepts in a way a young audience can digest them

Bandcamp, yes (I think)… Amazon or iTunes, no. There are guides on how to remove them but you are “pirating” as per their worthless rules
As far as I know, the three you mentioned are streaming services only with no option for purchase.
Yes, and streaming services is what I thought we were talking about
- Comment on kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel 2 days ago:
I assumed they don’t do their research using random crap on “the internet”, but reliable experts, peer reviewed papers and such
Yes, that is what they claim. But I am sure you have seen how hard it is now to find something even if you know exactly what you are looking for. It’s not like there are 2 libraries online for anything you need, right? You start researching about topic A and read that Dr XYZ did a study on this so you look for that study… just to find out Dr XYZ does not and has never existed.
No specific claims about topics, funding, time or anything. And again, no numbers, so hard to argue objectively.
So you want a specific number as to how many bad sources they are now forcing to discard because they turned out to be AI slop?
- Comment on kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel 2 days ago:
well, it may be a matter of context and tolerance here but I find the concept they are presenting is axiomatic and as such would not require any further explanation:
They use the internet to research their videos… the internet is getting more and more polluted with false narratives… ergo, it is becoming harder to research for their videos. Without good source, there are no videos.
If I tell you plants need water to exist but each season brings less and less rain year after year… would you say a title such as “drought is killing the plants” clickbaity?
- Comment on Just let me back up my games! 2 days ago:
It’s the same on every platform.
It’s definitely not, there are differences… but I see what you were referring to here.
I would still not say they “did it well” because streaming is literally killing the music industry and the artists are getting shafted hard by them. However, I understand your comment about not going for exclusivity (for the most part)
- Comment on Just let me back up my games! 2 days ago:
What are you talking about? I have had YouTube Music, Spotify and Deezer… none allow you to download music you can copy elsewhere.
YouTube Music allows you to dowload the song you uploaded to it (but you already owned all that so they are not giving you any favours) and the rest allow to download encrypted, DRM protected files which you can only play on their apps… certainly not copy them to as many drives as we like
- Comment on Just let me back up my games! 2 days ago:
because they actually did well with music.
I don’t even know what the fuck this is referring to
- Comment on Just let me back up my games! 2 days ago:
Isn’t this referring to the progress you have made in a specific video game?
- Comment on Fake Protest Videos Are the Latest AI Slop to Go Viral in MAGA World 2 days ago:
What would prevent Lemmy from becoming another Reddit
You’d need to convince every one hosting a Lemmy instance (and all possible future ones) to sell their platform for money or blackmail them into submission…
With Reddit, they only needed to convince Spez which is like convincing an alcoholic to have a free shot of his fav poison
- Comment on kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel 2 days ago:
The video gives an elaborate description on their evaluation of “AI” and it’s influence on the Internet at large. And then they conclude with “we’ll continue like before” directly contradicting the title.
You missed the entire point of the video.
The claims are simple:
-
in order to make this type of videos, they need to be able to reliable fact check
-
data on the internet is increasingly polluted by AI slop, making it harder to distinguish fact from slop
-
for now, they have no choice but to continue while being extra vigilant… but eventually, if things do not change, they will be unable to perform
It’s the exact same situation about climate change… we need to act now, most of us will suffer otherwise but for now we continue on living while trying to adjust where we can (recycling, reusing, less/no meat, etc) even if we know that will not be enough long term.

I had almost given up on youtube since they blank out your home if you do not allow them to track history so this may have started a bit back. I only went on it because someone sent me a link and I just opened it directly… all in all, just another reason to not use YouTube
