In most cases, not all that much. YouTube is mainly useful for getting views and building an audience. It’s a combination of revenue sources like sponsors, merchandise, donations, etc., that really make it worthwhile for creators.

melfie@lemmy.ziptoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•If I shared a home with a 36" tall, 2-ton creature, I would be very careful to stay away from its feet while it walked
4·11 hours agoMy cat is always trying to trip me. Then again, she looks and acts like one of her parents was an African wildcat straight from the savanna. Even when she’s being purry and cuddly laying in my nook, she keeps trying to lovingly bite my face off and when I play with her, she does backflips several feet into the air trying to catch whatever toy I’m animating for her. Little creature is half wild!

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic says its latest AI model is too powerful for public release and that it broke containment during testingEnglish
6·1 day agoYawn, we all know how this goes. So what model am I not supposed to use? I’ll be sure and avoid it, though I’d much rather avoid downloading their leaked weights like I avoid other things I’m not supposed to download.
The studies about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation suggest otherwise, and that monetary rewards can even have a negative impact on productivity and creativity. Ultimately, we want a society of intrinsically motivated people doing their best, most inspired work, not a society following financial incentives.

3·1 day agoClearly SaaS isn’t working out, so just open source all the frontier models and stop building data centers so we can all buy our own GPUs.
I often fall asleep watching Columbo on Jellyfin. It’s a nice, calming, make-believe world where elite douchebags get their just deserts.
melfie@lemmy.ziptoShowerthoughts@lemmy.world•It should be "as the duck flies", not "as the crow flies".
2·3 days agoDon’t ducks have specific migratory flyaways, so it’s more akin to commercial airlines in that they fly specific routes seasonally? Other than that, I assume they primarily fly between bodies of water. “As the duck flies” would therefore assume that a duck would even fly the route in question, when in fact, a crow may be more likely to fly it than a duck.

8·4 days agoI can see where an AI that fucks everything up all the time might be entertaining like a good slapstick comedy, but nah, Resident Evil Requiem is sufficient entertainment for now.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla Is Sitting on a Record 50k Unsold EVsEnglish
2·4 days agoI didn’t realize TSLA stock had an upward trend most of last year and is only heading downhill this year.
Interesting, I’ve only ever had this issue in Mint as well.
My Mint laptop audio stopped working for a couple months and then miraculously fixed itself this week. I made various attempts to fix it with no luck. It’s either a hardware issue or some obscure software issue.
In the past, I had plugged in a HDMI cable to mirror the screen and couldn’t get the audio working again until I plugged it back into HDMI and switched it back to the internal speakers before unplugging HDMI. Before the audio broke this time, I had connected a USB microphone, so it’s possible that’s what did it.

I assume at this point, the world sees us as the 3rd picture.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla Is Sitting on a Record 50k Unsold EVsEnglish
49·4 days agoReading Tesla workers shared images from car cameras, including “scenes of intimacy” was enough to put me off Tesla. The build quality being garbage and Musk also being a garbage human being make the company just a complete waste of space.
Yeah, like Anthropic’s leaked code that was converted to Python and open sourced. It seems proprietary to open source is a bigger opportunity than open source to proprietary. If there’s already a FOSS version, why would anyone bother with a proprietary bastardization of it?






They’d probably like to come colonize our planet, but with 2x the gravity of Earth, I bet it’s hard to build a rocket that can actually get them into space, much less travel 1800 light years.
