Sounds like a happy retirement.
it was a shitty job, i thought i was doing something mildly productive, but realized it was just fast pace bullshit
I know most are not fans of AI, but summarizing Ben Shapiro videos without having to watch them is a pretty good use case
Gemini Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video, broken down into key points:
- Ben Shapiro's position: The video discusses Ben Shapiro's challenging position, as he tries to balance his disagreements with the Trump administration and the financial requirements of The Daily Wire [00:00].
- Daily Wire's Financial Issues: The video references a deep dive on YouTube by Jose, which highlights The Daily Wire's financial troubles. These issues are attributed to the company's entertainment ambitions [00:41].
- Criticism of Trump and Navarro: The video mentions Shapiro's attempt to influence Trump to heed more sensible conservatives and to dismiss Peter Navarro. It criticizes Navarro's trade deficit formula and tariff policies [02:06].
- Candace Owens and Anti-Semitism: The video touches on Ben Shapiro's past association with Candace Owens, pointing out that he overlooked her anti-Semitic remarks until she criticized Israel [05:15].
- Trump's behavior: The video also includes a discussion about Donald Trump, referencing his past comments and behavior [08:40].
he overlooked her anti-semitic remarks until she criticized Isreal?
that's one of the takes you could have from all this, Ben
Absolutely insane because she was NOT subtle about it
I feel bad for the AI having to have processed this.
Can't be healthy for its weights
Bigger worry is that it could be learning from this shit. We could be turbo-pushing the Overton window by feeding it drives of brain-dead shit.
For every 1 zombie vid you summarize, you should give it two 60+ minute quality videos to summarize.
Well the good news is that AI has zero ability to make value judgements on normalacy of veiws or interpret novel data. It's just fancy statistics that you can manually set parameters on what to favour or rules to follow.
Just cuz it gets more of something doesn't mean it starts picking sides. People are paid to fine tune it's reactions and conclusions manually.

Finally, something AI can do for us that no human wants to or should have to do.
Can we get a tldw, please?
Im not watching ten seconds of that guy.
i think it would be easier to find a volunteer to unclog my toilet
Give me the spoon!
Use the poop knife.
I watch people like Ben Shapiro all the time because I don’t want to exclusively live in my echo chamber and it’s good to challenge your beliefs and staying up to date with all sides.
I prefer the more moderate conservatives but it’s good to watch everything.
Something i am concerned about here on Lemmy is the instant downvoting without discussion of dissenting opinions. Hardly conducive to bringing about a revolution if we won’t even engage with certain people.
Seems like a massive circle jerk at times where we can all feel superior because we have empathy. But i want actual change and not just to seem like I’m progressive.
I agree it's good to subject yourself to other viewpoints but I'm definitely not going to subject myself to actual propaganda

I get what you’re saying but people like Ben Shapiro, Candice Owens, etc have proven themselves to be shitstain propagandists many years ago. Regularly consuming propaganda, even if you know what it is, is not healthy and it does affect you.
That's like saying, "Yeah like to drink Clorox because i like to know what the poison tastes like."
I understand it though. I used to be like that. Now I'm too old to waste my time on them.

I get your point of view, but I ain’t got time to listen to these chuds.

I agree with viewing both sides, but I would rather read what they're saying than watch the shit come out their mouths.

I would watch an actual leopard actually eat his face for 10 minutes, but otherwise, no thanks
I would skip to about the 3 minute mark when it really starts to get good
I'll have to take your word for it, I'm not listening to that voice any more than necessary.
I don’t watch Ben videos unless he’s talking about his sister.
