Beat that KZbin algorithm! I believe in you!!! 😅

[@dylan_curious]

Thank you so much! What a donation! You rock. It's nice to have people believe in the channel, keeps me modivated when making the videos.

[@human_shaped]

Today was a really great and diverse set of stuff I hadn't seen before. Really good one.

[@dylan_curious]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wwkk4964]

Best AI youtuber. Love your style, especially like the papers you review towards the end of your videos.

[@dylan_curious]

The papers are for the most hardcore!

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

💯👁️

[@Crawdaddy_Ro]

Dylan is the best AI communicator I've seen in the entire KZbin space, and I've seen a lot of them.

[@dolcruz6838]

Would be interesting to See what Claude has to say about the Videos. Like you could give it the transcript and some thumbnails of the past 10 Videos and the analytics data and ask it to Analyse whats best.

[@dylan_curious]

Oh!! Maybe GPT-4o with vision could look at the thumbs. Interesting idea!!!

[@ColinTimmins]

I really like the thumbnails. Clear and easy to understand. =]

[@MR-md2cl]

Dylan, it’s great to see you grow as a KZbinr and hone your craft. This has been one of the most enjoyable videos you’ve made and I didn’t plan on watching all 37 minutes, but you got me again! Watch out for accidentally looping your content. I noticed the past couple videos, it randomly loops back and replays about 30 seconds midway through. Speaking of midway through, try to avoid re-playing the same grimlock skit. It’s funny, but keep the whole video fresh. When they’re as long as yours are, breaking the feed for a rerun could break the spell on those who probably wouldn’t have noticed they watched it all the way through, like me. Heck, even a new recording of you talking to your cool toys is fine as a recurring mid-reel gag, but keep it original each time. FYI: We Roth is looking for small up and coming AI channels to highlight. Of course I shouted you out. Keep it Dylan and stay Curious my friend.

[@dylan_curious]

I noticed the loop also after people pointed it out in the comments. Sometimes I make multiple takes and don't trim them all out. I will stay on it. I gotta remember Grimlock is a transition not the full show. That is so nice you shouted out my channel! Wes Roth has such a big audience that would be so awesome. Thank you for the support, shout out and the donation!

[@jesus2639]

I wish my phone had even 1% of that dogs durability

[@latentspaced]

BTDA !! Lolz !! That's super trippy !! Thanks for your great content- I appreciate you !! Onwards and Upwards

[@RodsFromGod_26]

I think that the Toys-R-Us commercial was great overall. I can't wait until Sora and other similar tech and AI generated voice gets more advanced - longer clips, easier to use, etc. This will open up entirely new opportunities for independent movie directors and writers. They could literally make a feature length movie right on their PC with it very cheaply. No cast, sets, costumes, music, sound, locations etc. A HUGE plus for indie movie creators!

[@aleafmusic1681]

Best ai KZbinr out here, hope you keep growing!

[@dylan_curious]

Wow, thanks! I love making the videos so glad you enjoy the vids.

[@Ben_D.]

So glad we can animate our favorite memes now. We needed that. Curing various diseases and world peace can wait. >END Sarcasm

[@Seytom]

I think your instincts were right on not using the Jon Stewart thumbnail.

[@Crawdaddy_Ro]

Watched yesterday with my daughter but we started talking about simulation theory towards the end, so I forgot to comment lol but here I am now! Excellent video! Don't get discouraged with the algorithm!

[@MR-md2cl]

It’s rare to find content you can feel comfortable watching with family. Aside from news, The Why Files and Dylan are the only things I watch with my Mom. They hit that right mix of entertainment and information for general audiences. Check out the Why Files (if you haven’t already), he has a great video on Simulation Theory from 2 years ago.

[@Crawdaddy_Ro]

@@MR-md2cl Man, I love Why Files! One of the best shows on YT, hands down. AJ and the crew are so genuine, and they always do such a great job with every episode. Plus, it's family friendly and funny as hell!

[@kpr2]

I always watch your vids fully, but frequently at 2x 'cause life's short & I've got stuff to do. 🤣

[@dylan_curious]

I would watch them at 2x also! I think that is a great idea.

[@x1k790]

So much happening, so little time and grateful you give awesome updates. Websim is freaky cool and what sort of web will we have in a year! Edit to add, glad you did not put John Stewart on thumbnail. AI feels deceptive enough, stay true Dylan 👍

[@dylan_curious]

Good question! I am getting overwhelmed. Glad you enjoyed.

[@BreakOutOfTheAlgorithm]

I think the robots are impressive however if you look at old footage from the early 1900s they had some crazy machines with gyroscopes in them. A couple of gyroscopes in a lightweight dog robot can make it do amazing things. That's crazy to me is it's old tech put together in a new form. 🤔 Now the Sora video is next level! The advancements in text to video is mind blowing! 🤯

[@dylan_curious]

There's also some really old electric car stuff that surprises me

[@cfjlkfsjf]

Glad you talked about websim, it's truely crazy!!! I was on a hockey forum, they said so and so player will retire and it was confirmed so I typed his name and said he retired and had it confirmed.

[@dylan_curious]

Wow. The future is now.

[@krispeekornflex]

The 1st mutant. TropicanaMan.

[@latentspaced]

INGL- watched the Grimlock bit twice:)

[@jeremycronic]

Toys r us Sora commercial was pretty good. A lot was edited afterwards. The bicycle shop sign was not generated correct. They had to fix the words. Prolly the giraffe as well. Cuz it's a toys r us giraffe. Still impressive, but gives an idea of what Sora will actually generate.

[@dylan_curious]

Yeah, and in six months from now, I'm sure there will be a big update and Sora will start to look even more real!

[@ScaryStoriesNYC]

A lot of people like Matt Vid Pro are unhappy that corporations are getting to use Sora but not the public. I also find that an extreme turnoff, I have to admit.

[@dylan_curious]

Yeah, at least just charge us the cost of hollywood if you need but let us use it.

[@humphuk]

So - will be able to say to an llm - "Go to university (probably the web and access to research papers) and learn about [topic x] and fine tune yourself so you are an expert - and put all your findings in a box (some datastore) for future context. When you are done - come back to me so we can have a chat"? [BTW my wife prefers your channel to all the other AI stuff I watch - but that wont help your numbers]

[@sebaccimaster]

Emergent is just a level of measure for the surprise levels of the observer. No such thing as an emergent property, just a lack of understanding from the observer of “why” something happened.

[@themultiverse5447]

Dylan in regards to the meme - you got distracted by the girl dancing (classic Matrix girl in the red dress) and missed that the OG girlfriend actually starts smiling when watching her man kiss another girl.

[@BunnyOfThunder]

These super-tough robots are breeding a new kind of QA tester... these guys are getting scary!

[@robbxander]

Yo, Dylan. Glad everything seems to be going in the right direction for you. One thing, though. Did you change the settings on your main view? The contrast seems darker now, with the color vibrance difficult to stare at for more than a minute. Work in progress? 😅

[@dylan_curious]

I did have some new settings on this for contrast. Thanks for the feedback. I can go back to the previous style.

[@robbxander]

@@dylan_curious Keep trying new things. It's fun, and you'll always learn more about the art of color correction. 😃

Nice pro tip!

[@blakebeesley8953]

Killing it man! I’m 28 and watch all the way through lol notice no one under 24?!? Wild.. also better to not include Oliver if he isn’t in the vid, could be seen as deceptive

[@dylan_curious]

Who is Oliver? From the thumbnail? Do you mean Hobbs or Grimlock? Either way thanks for watching all the way through. Let me know if there is ever any topics you want me to cover. Glad you enjoyed.

[@blakebeesley8953]

@@dylan_curioushaha I heard John Oliver, not John Stewart 😂 Classic

[@paulhiggins5165]

Here's a question I rarely see asked- Why would anyone use AI to generate images or videos that look photorealistic? The answer seems kind of obvious but it's really not- after all programmes like Sora and Midjourney can generate all sorts of styles and unique visual experiences- so why use these programmes to replicate the look of real photos and Video? The only reason I can see is in order to try to leverage the authenticity that we tend to associate with the photoreal image- presumably Toys R Us felt that having a 'real' boy in their Ad rather than a Cartoon boy would create a deeper connection with their target audience. But this leads to a paradox because it creates a situation in which the value of AI generated photorealism depends upon it not being seen as AI generated- because the moment I see that kid as being AI generated is the moment the authenticy and thus the connection is lost- my knowledge that the kid is not a real kid undermines my engagement with the Advert. At present this problem is mostly theoretical- because we currently live in a world where most photo's and Video's are real and in this world AI generated material can 'pass' as the real thing. But at some not too distant point in time we will be living in a world where most photo's and Video will be AI generated- and the default position of the public will eventually adapt to this new reality. Once this paradigm shift has occured an interesting thing may happen in terms of AI generated photos and Video because the 'authenticity' they seek to leverage will no longer exist- everyone will just assume that everything they see is fake! The endgame then is that by using AI in an attempt to leverage the trust we all place in the photoreal more cheaply than using actual photos and Video the communications and advertising industries may end up poisoning the well of public trust upon which they depend- if every photo and every video is assumed to be an AI generated fake how effective will these images and photo's be as tools of communcation and persuasion?

[@patrickjreid]

You know, this ai is still more convicing than when tom hanks played the child in that christmas movie with the train. Human generated. And remember the CW when they always hired pretty people who couldn't act... Sora is winning here.

[@dylan_curious]

Oh yeah, the Polar Express! AI video is definitely better than that movie.

[@spinningaround]

I wonder how far AI is from creating a method for complete DNA replacement in somatic cells, capable of transforming one species into another..

[@kenkwok83]

There was a part that was repeated at 15:30

[@dylan_curious]

I will use the KZbin editor to remove it. Thanks for pointing it out

[@interestedinstuff1499]

That genetic edit Brian did, I reckon he's going to get himself in the opposite direction to his goal. (You must have done this vid in a hurry. You've got several spots where you've repeated a bit of vid and dialogue. ) Great vid as usual though. (I'm a Medium author. Read me. ha. Only Darren.) Sorry. Keep up the good work.

[@dylan_curious]

Email me your medium articles if they relate to AI or tech.

[@74Gee]

KZbin will probably make hundreds of thousands of variations of songs, then a/b/n test them until they have the best performance. They could sell the results to the music industry. Or use the results to close the deal. Generic music is the future. Urgh😢😢

[@jekkleegrace]

What's with the last months news today thing?

[@dylan_curious]

I have a messy way I collect news and pick what I want to film. I am trying to streamline it.

[@MR-md2cl]

@dylan_curious I thought the same thing too at first, but over time his videos have become longer and cover a vast amount for topics, that I no longer see him as a typical newb KZbinr chasing the latest AI news that everyone else is talking about (this is no way to stand out amongst the others, or to the KZbin algorithm). Now I understand his pivot into meticulously digging up AI nuggets of information missed by all the other popular KZbinrs and then presenting them as like a rolling “what you might have missed over the past month” vlog. It also gives him an opportunity to discuss older news (previously covered by KZbinrs) from a different angle after all the hype has died down and after more information is known about it. If you want bleeding-edge AI updates, then you have your pick of KZbinrs for that. If you wanna see all that you might have missed over the past month, then go to Dylan as he’s now covering news the others won’t (because they don’t want to seen as “stale”). Dylan, I think you’ve finally found your niche! I’m a highly technical nerd, but for others (like my Mom and sisters), I see them enjoying your format and learning everything from you for the first time, because why would Mom wanna follow someone like Wes Roth? Wes creates the esoteric content *I* enjoy, (but the rest of my family wouldn’t). Don’t burn yourself out like before, stressing over delivering the latest AI/Tech news to us. Take your time and enjoy the research and contemplation you’re doing now. When you’re having fun sleuthing and discovering cool intriguing stuff for us, we’re having fun enjoying and learning it with you!

So the robot hit with stick the way thr robot was standing I don't know it'd a good edit for it to hold up like that things thrown kicked cool.but that was a little pushing it and the fact that open ai is not giving access to companies vs creators and now pushing back on promises for access is all clearly business move and the cost of sora generation and want to infiltrate and get backing by companies cuz something is brewing and how bullish they have been

[@dylan_curious]

My thoughts exactly. There is so much potential money and power in AI we all knew it would be tempting to give it to the corporations first.

[@SareG1]

Let's see Brian Johnson's results from the gene therapy in 4-6 months. It's cool that he's conducting these experiments to extend his lifespan and sharing the results with the public.
