They're all on F95.

Then I woke up, at first impressed that I did that. Then I just couldn’t help but wonder if I was just dreaming that I lucid dreamed and that the choices I made were actually just a part of the dream.

Your choices in a dream are colored by the reduced mental output you have when you're dreaming. In a dream, you might make a lot of dumb decisions than make perfect sense in the dream, but are immediately illogical when you think about them awake.

With lucid dreaming, you have an increased self-awareness, but you're still in a low-activity brainwave state.

That's the thing about automation and training models.

First, they implement some sort of auto-reporting bot that requires a human to review them. In the beginning, it only about 50% accurate, but as they give it more and more examples of good and bad results through the human reviews, it moves to 80%, then 90%, then 99%, then 99.99% accuracy.

After a while, the humans on the other end are so numb to the 9999 entries they have to mark as approved that they can barely tell what's a rejection themselves, and the moderation team is asking itself just what this human review is actually doing. If it's 99.99% accurate, why not let the bot decide?

Then, the model moves on from auto-reporting to auto-moderation.

your reign of terror shoulda ended with Indigo Prophecy.

Well, at least it ended with JASON!

Gee, I wonder why that so popular...

It's not. I can easily pull the thumbnail image of any YouTube video. Same with yt-dlp.

For some reason, Lemmy can't figure out this simple template: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/hq720.jpg

FTFY.

Somewhat unrelated, what the fuck is up with Lemmy not auto-loading YouTube thumbnails on new posts? I have to fetch the thumbnail PNG image each time, and not everybody knows how to do that. This is not a problem with any other link type.

If you're not first, you're last.

The company added that it does not "listen to any conversations or have access to anything beyond a third-party aggregated, anonymized and fully encrypted data set that can be used for ad placement" and "regret[s] any confusion."

That doesn't sound like kooky bullshit to me. That sounds exactly like what the OP's title suggests.
