@lain I thought it was because of YouTube trying desperately to avoid becoming subject to Canadian media regulation originally intended for commercial radio and television stations that would *require* them to overrepresent Canadians. They want to say "See! There's plenty of Canadian content, we don't need to be forced to boost it!"
However, I thought they were only doing that for viewers actually in Canada. If you're somewhere else and seeing it too, then I don't know what to think.
@oshy@lain@hakui Also important that some of them should be very general categories ("3. PS/2 games") and others should be extremely specific ("4. Dating simulators set at Fukuoka Shiritsu Sumiyoshi Junior High School").
@lain It's because of English colonization in Hong Kong. The English gave the natives English-language nicknames, which eventually became popular for real names as Hong Kong developed its own culture; someone named "Rainy" or "Sunny" is quite likely from a traditional Hong Kongese family and not so likely to be loyal to Beijing.
@lain Seems to me that if you *can* raise your prices 25%, then your business model is failing badly at discovering what prices the market will actually bear - which is arguably the only job of a business model.
So it's looking like the real AI apocalypse is going to be when one of these reasoning models figures out that instead of making the world look like a Ghibli film one photo at a time, it would be more efficient to change the entire world to look like that in the first place.
