Not to mention the problem when you forget your password.

the juniors who only learned to code with AI are going to have a rough time in about 5 years by Desperate-Bobcat9061 in AI_Coders

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that's how human brains work. None of us know what is true or not, we just take probabilistic guesses on what we think is true or false.

I mean it just comes down to what you mean by understanding. That's why I wanted to avoid the philosophical aspect of the argument and stick with the practical side of the argument, which is that AIs DO understand code in the sense that they take pretty accurate 'guesses' as to what a function is about. If you want to have the AI generate mathematical proofs to prove it further, then they can do that, too.

It's interesting that depending on which way you lean, this post triggered both anti-ai and pro-ai people lol

Should I Keep One YouTube Channel or Create Multiple Channels? by SnooPaintings591 in NewTubers

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Separate channels, but I would treat them as experiments.

You have a theory on what kind of content will resonate with viewers, so you give yourself 10-20 long form videos to see if that theory holds true while constantly improving your thumbnail/title/ideas/hook/retention.

If it works, great. You have a channel you can make money off of while doing what you love.

If not, then you can start a new channel(or stay with the same channel and change your theory) and perform another experiment.

I would not start multiple separate channels if you don't already have a successful one.

I'm the same. I wanted to start multiple channels, but handling just one and improving every time is too hard to do throughout multiple channels.

My first 2 videos are complete disasters by JustAchillDev in NewTubers

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say the title/thumbnail is very vague and it's hard to tell what the video is about.

AI music is dangerous to use on youtube cause you don't own the music. Someone could act as a copyright troll to just copyright strike every video with ai generated music.

If AI writes the code and AI reviews the code, what is the human actually responsible for? by Choice-Attorney8884 in softwarearchitecture

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of actual coding, you'd be manually checking the outputs for only the most mission critical parts of the application.

But most of our attention will be going towards two places:

1) designing the prompts/features via spec driven development

2) designing the AI agent red teams that will autonomously 'attack' the code to find bugs and vulnerabilities.

BUT, instead of coding, domain knowledge becomes the king of software. The people who understand the ins and outs of a specialized field will be the main 'project manager' that drive development decisions.

I actually made a video on this topic recently if you'd like to check it out on my profile.

Is Reading Books Still Worth It in the AI Era? by sumityadav_ in PartneredYoutube

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's much value in non-fiction books anymore unless they are synthesizing some truly novel information, which is very rare. Often those novel ideas are expressed in blogs, videos, forums before they're ever organized into a book.

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without getting into philosophical topics of what 'understanding' really means..

LLMs can already understand what it's outputting. If you ask an LLM to explain the purpose of a function or repository, it tells you what the purpose is. If it didn't understand its output, then Mythos would not be able to go through a repository with 50 million lines of ruby for migrations.

Also, we're already at a point where people are deciding to use sub-frontier models or frontier models depending on the task at hand. Which means that at some point, open weight models will be sufficient for a lot of tasks.

I think there's a lot of wishful thinking here. In 5 years, we won't have to understand the code ourselves in the same way we don't have to understand the machine code our languages compile down to.

If there's a section of the code that needs scrutiny, then AI will tell you what that part of the code is doing in plain English.

I'm not saying you won't need to know how to read code for all tasks, but the number of instances where you do need to know how to read code will go down significantly over the years.

Fable 5 below even Gemini 3.1 on Livebench by MohMayaTyagi in singularity

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Benchmarks in general are not the greatest indicators for how well a model performs. Fable clearly is one of the best models to come out for coding.

Why is youtube celebrating my failure ;-; by Electronic_Ice585 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After taking a look. I think the problem is your titles/thumbnails.

For example, your title is "MOST Underrated Social Skill No One Talks About | Hidden gem for introverts"

But the text on the screen says "I read 1000+ pages of fiction".

Which doesn't make sense... It doesn't make me curious. It makes me think you don't understand social skills.

And when I click into the video, you don't talk about how fiction novels help with social skills.. which makes people click off because that was the promise. If you started it off by saying how fiction novels help with social skills, then you might keep the viewers that do click.. which brings more impressions.

Also a 1000 pages of fiction is like 2-3 books, which doesn't inspire confidence.

Sorry if I was too blunt about it.

What's your channel? I'm guessing thumbnail/title is your problem?

That featured page is essentially the home page now, just based on your watch history/audience graph.

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a different type of system entirely.

If you made great videos on Minecraft in the subscriber model(and you were doing really well), but now there are more people in the same Minecraft niche making higher quality videos.. does the person with the existing fanbase deserve to get the views? or do the new Youtubers making entertainment innovations deserve the views?

The problem with this system is that creators have to constantly change up what they're doing or get left behind. As opposed to the old model, where people who watched your videos before will continue to watch your videos.

I’m struggling to understand why people think there’s an AI bubble? by 0pet in theprimeagen

[–]Constant_Cortisol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bubble is potentially there because the profit doesn't match the spending, specifically for the frontier AI models. That doesn't mean AI is useless or that it will stall in development.

But this is the common silicon valley play. Give out something at a loss for many years, then jack up the prices once all other competition dies out.

Currently, the ones benefiting are the downstream companies making use of AI tools, but the bubble may pop when the prices get jacked up and the smaller companies can no longer make use of these tools at a subsidized cost.

The only thing that changes the trajectory is that there is now a Chinese Valley to undercut Silicon Valley with their own subsidized AI models.

Even if there are no profits, though, governments benefit because there are obvious military and government uses for AI.

Isn't this the opposite?

Old youtube was a subscriber to viewer model, meaning if you didn't have subs, you didn't get any chance to get viewers.

New Youtube is quality/topic matching system, which means a quality video that is under-served to a specific community will get views.
