Sorry if this is unsolicited, but I decided to put a bit more rigour into it and check the average of 100 netflix documentary trailers from here
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvahqwMqN4M0fmh2gjEqNbUA3uCVMZbDB
And make a chart.

Like so

That dot on the top right is the AI doc.
The dot on the bottom right is UNKNOWN: Killer Robots
The dot on the top is American Symphony
In both of those instances they're comparable on one axis but not the other.
So basically if this chart's correct there's definitely cause for suspicion. Moreso anyway.

Edit: I made a typo in the data, which gave UNKNOWN: Killer Robots and UNKNOWN: Cosmic Time Machine a higher View Per Like ratio than it should have. Here's the new chart: Like So

The new Furthest right are now
American Nightmare
and
Will & Harper

With my extremely scientific method of "clicking on trailers for random documentaries and seeing the ratios" the like-to-view ratio is typically in a range from 1-10 to 1-100. The biggest outlier I saw was probably Will & Harper at about 1-400. The AI Doc is about 1-800. Also interesting is the comments. Will & Harper has about 6400 comments while the AI Doc only has 640, which would be comparable to something like Murder in Monaco, a documentary trailer with about a tenth of the views (and also has a comparable amount of likes).

You can eat paint. You shouldn't, but you can. He also has a court date so that's quite the dedication if it was a stunt.

“We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life”

This quote is just... something.

Is the plan to literally create 8 billion podcasts in the near future? This company doesn't think that might be a tad excessive?

It's wild that Yudkowsky saw a binary choice of "nuclear holocaust" and "superintelligence" and chose "nuclear holocaust" in the first place.

The next logical step in order to make AIs more reliable is making them rely less and less in their training and rely more on their analytical/reasoning capabilities.

Uh, yeah.

It also shows why those DOOM demos were only 2-3 seconds long, because that's how long it can keep cohesion for.

You know that thing that happened with the AI generated DOOM?

Well, someone decided to do the same thing with Minecraft, and you can see that the results are... basically abysmal:
https://youtu.be/7Jd-Rr9cJYo?si=-9XZ51ss6cBuSiC3 Skip to 2:00 for the actual "gameplay".

TL:DW nothing is saved outside of the view screen, things aren't even saved within the view screen, the resolution is like 240p at 20fps, input latency and mouse latency is awful, and this was all apparently done by training on literal millions of hours of Minecraft footage. The mid-range computer I had from 2006 could run the game better than this. A 14-year-old netbook could run the game better than whatever supercomputer they're using to render this.

Note that the person in the video isn't part of the team/whoever that created it, just someone who is reviewing it.

Microsoft is making laptops with dedicated Copilot buttons.

I think they'd rather burn their company to the ground, all the while telling their customers that they just needed to wait a little while longer, rather than admit that they got it wrong.

A mouse that lasts forever... until y'know, it breaks, because it's a piece of hardware that actively gets worn out.

Bosses are urging employees to increase their output with the help of AI tools (37 percent), to expand their skill sets (35 percent), take on a wide range of responsibilities (30 percent), return to the office (27 percent), work more efficiently (26 percent), and work more hours (20 percent).

Stop working from home because AI.
