- YouTube’s Sneaky AI ‘Experiment’
Something strange has been happening on YouTube over the past few weeks. After being uploaded, some videos have been subtly augmented, their appearance changing without their creators doing anything. Viewers have noticed “extra punchy shadows,” “weirdly sharp edges,” and a smoothed-out look to footage that makes it look “like plastic.” Many people have come to the same conclusion: YouTube is using AI to tweak videos on its platform, without creators’ knowledge.A multimedia artist going by the name Mr. Bravo, whose YouTube videos feature “an authentic 80s aesthetic” achieved by running his videos through a VCR, wrote on Reddit that his videos look “completely different to what was originally uploaded.” “A big part of the videos charm is the VHS look and the grainy, washed out video quality,” he wrote. YouTube’s filter obscured this labor-intensive quality: “It is ridiculous that YouTube can add features like this that completely change the content,”… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.2 weeks ago - Famine confirmed for first time in Gaza

A few weeks earlier, I’d heard a similar rationale from Dan Hendrycks, the director of the Center for AI Safety. By the time he could tap into any retirement funds, Hendrycks anticipates a world in which “everything is fully automated,” he told me. That is, “if we’re around.”The past few years have been terrifying for Soares and Hendrycks, who both lead organizations dedicated to preventing AI from wiping out humanity. Along with other AI doomers, they have repeatedly warned, with rather dramatic flourish, that bots could one day go rogue—with apocalyptic consequences. But in 2025, the doomers are tilting closer and closer to a sort of fatalism. “We’ve run out of time”… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 weeks ago
- The Joseph McCarthy of the Trump EraThe first thing Laura Loomer wanted to know when I called her earlier this month was whether this was going to be a “hit piece.” The self-described investigative journalist and unofficial adviser to President Donald Trump is familiar with the genre. She had just attacked the United States Army for praising a recipient of the Medal of the Honor. She would soon claim without evidence that Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene—another person comfortable trafficking in unsubstantiated allegations—“gave blow jobs in the back rooms of CrossFit gyms.” Soon after that, she said that Palestinian children receiving medical care in the United States posed a “dangerous” threat to American national security.You never know just how far she will go, but that’s the game she plays. I suggested at one point that her effort to get federal employees fired for supposed disloyalty to Trump recalled the Red Scare of the early 1950s, when… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 weeks ago
