  • I have a hard time imaging a free, open video hosting service will ever succeed. YouTube’s infrastructure is insane, and that’s reflected in their costs.

    Any sustainable video hosting platform is going to need a solid monetization plan because the costs of hosting and streaming exabytes of video is just not sustainable on donations. Platforms like Floatplane or Nebula seem like good alternatives, but they’ve chosen for a subscription-only model - which I personally think is the fairest solution.


  • “Inadequate Alignment” reads like simply another item on the list here, but to my knowledge the entire field of AI Alignment has been working on this problem for decades. And while they’ve made some really impressive progress, I believe the consensus is that they’re nowhere near solving it - it’s a very difficult problem.

    We can see this in how crafting prompts to get LLM’s to do complex tasks is actually quite a complex task (even for tasks it is capable of doing), but at least for now the errors are somewhat easy to catch as you get your reply immediately.

    As LLM’s become more integrated into people’s workflows I wonder when we’ll start seeing more serious incidents due to misaligned behaviors not being caught. Hopefully projects like this will lead to the development of more safeties before then, but I’m not holding my breath.
