some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.

Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.

This is behind a paywall, so we’ll never know.

Why so fancy? Sites like this are famous with millions of views: https://web.archive.org/web/20041229194455/http://www.ikissyou.org/indeks2.html

Are they published by Elsevier? Just tell them it’s AI-generated and they’ll be happy to publish it.

I gift articles often

FYI if you do so on !nyt_gift_articles@sopuli.xyz you’ll reach several hundred people.

Interesting article.

“For every new plane you put up into the sky there are about 20,000 problems you need to solve, and for a long time we used to say Boeing’s core competency was piling people and money on top of a problem until they crushed it,” says Stan Sorscher, a longtime Boeing physicist and former officer of the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), the labor union representing Boeing engineers. But those people are gone.

We are approaching another AI Winter. AI goes through hype cycles:

• some flashy new capability captures everyone’s imaginations
• Companies and researchers exaggerate the possibilities and people are led to believe that full AI is right around the corner.
• Then with familiarity people realize the new capability isn’t really that revolutionary, and the term “AI” is distrusted again, for another decade or two.

It’s been that way since the 1950s. Read more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

Advertise Lemmy there. It’s barely mentioned in the discussion.

Compare to the “Cottingley Fairies” photographs of 1917.

Take some examples that you saw in the past. Even if they were on other platforms. Copy them and post them in your new community for a while.

I think you’re supposed to put a link starting with an exclamation mark, like this: !petahexplainthejoke@lemmy.today

Apparently they were given the script only a day before. And on the day of, they were told to just let people walk through, and improvise. Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-13134989/Embarrassed-Oompa-Loompas-actresses-Wonka-scam-talks.html

Speaking to MailOnline, she confirmed that not only had she not been paid she also hadn’t been briefed on what her role would involve. She explained: ‘I was angry at the time because I felt like this is embarrassing for me, and I felt bad for the people coming in as well. I actually ended up shouting at the guy. I just said to him he’s a joke and this is like embarrassing, and how can we basically live with himself, doing this to people. This is really embarrassing for me. My job is teaching kids yoga and I go into schools and stuff and I do kids’ entertainment. This is none of our faults at all. We got the job and then we got given the script. By that point I’d signed a contract and they said they were going to put us £500 for the two days which is a lot of money which is a lot of money to say no to.’

I agree. We need a new saying that parallels “One death is a tragedy, one million deaths are a statistic.”

No, but we’ll be expected to leave larger tips.

If the masses don’t come here, that’s fine. For now, we just can just take the people who post and comment thoughtfully.

Advertise Lemmy!

At each new monetization stage, we should once more advertise Lemmy.

On resume: “dramatically increased corporate data security, drawing notice from management company-wide.”
