I understand why some creators, including myself, don't leave #YouTube. However it's *vital* now more than ever to also make yourself a #PeerTube server. You need an accurate archive of your work that YOU control, even if no one watches it there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwJgDHJJoE

Just stumbled into an example of #YouTube AI Slop generation in progress. Happened onto a recent (posted within the last week) video purporting to tell of a notorious "deleted scene" from the classic film "Forbidden Planet" (1956). It was obviously AI generated with the typical AI still image manipulations and voice, and never actually showed the scene. However, over the next hour YouTube offered me what seems like dozens of variations of this same video, shorts and non-shorts, all with nearly identical narration, none actually showing the scene, and with posting dates as recent as an hour ago -- many without any views. These still seem to be churning out as I type this -- all on ostensibly different channels containing similar content. Multiply this by all the possible ways this sort of AI Slop could be generated in relation to the vast array of possible content sources, and you see how #YouTube is rapidly become a deep pit of garbage. There is still lots of wonderful stuff on there -- it's still my favorite streaming service by far -- but AI Slop is making finding the worthwhile content ever more difficult. AND GOOGLE DOESN'T CARE OF COURSE -- 'cause an ad is an ad and a click is a click.
"The short version is that YouTube used AI to 'enhance' the videos of Rick Beato and Rhett Shull. YouTube used an AI smoothing filter that made the videos look like they were AI generated, and didn’t tell Beato, Shull, or their viewers that they were doing it. They only admitted to it after the two made videos proving it happened, later claiming it was only a 'limited test'.”

The quintessential car chase -- the car chase that is widely considered to have created the template for every movie car chase to follow -- is in the 1968 Steve McQueen classic "Bullitt". The chase and the rest of the film is largely shot on location around San Fransisco, creating a time capsule of the city at that era. Good cop McQueen tries to untangle a murder mystery while a high-ranking politician played by Robert Vaughn seems to be entangled in some perhaps sinister way. An absolute classic, with a great Lalo Schifrin score. Watch as minutes of screen time are dedicated to showing the wonder of an acoustic modem-based rotating drum fax machine!

If having an evil clown as a president isn't enough for you, there is further you can go. Currently free on #YouTube Movies & TV -- at least in the U.S. -- is the uber-cult classic comedy-horror extravaganza in the center ring: "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" (1988). I love this film. It's played strictly for laughs, but the actors all play their roles essentially straight. Most recognizable will be John Vernon as an angry cop, most familiar from his role as angry Dean Wormer in "Animal House" (1978).
The plot is simple. An interstellar spacecraft arrives on Earth, where it appears to be a circus tent. From the craft come an array of bizarre-looking clowns with an assortment of clownish tools and tricks -- almost all of them lethal. Why are the clowns killing and collecting the inhabitants of this small town?
Great theme song by "The Dickies", which has been widely covered and publicly performed by a wide variety of performers including The Dickies themselves right up to a few years ago at least -- it's quintessentially 80s!
So watch the film while it's free -- it could drop out of free status at any moment! And you may want to skip the cotton candy this time:
YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc)
This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered.
If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here:

New from me: nearly 4,000 words on AI, the people who use it, the people who criticize it, the limitations of mainstream online platforms as vehicles for public discourse, and much more.
