The actual theorem is that any arbitrarily small, but nonzero chance multiplied out by infinity becomes a certainty, or in other words, that those monkeys don't just have a *chance* to type out the complete works of Shakespeare, but rather that they *will* type out the complete works of Shakespeare eventually, for a mathematical definition of "eventually", simply because they *could*.

I have a unique, and I'd hope to say, interesting take on the case of William Parks. I worked for GameRant as a list writer for a few months, and I can tell you in confidence that William is actually a real person; I spoke to him on the company Slack a few times. But personally, I think the fact he is a real person opens up to the second layer of the issue with AI prioritising SEO when generating articles; not every article can be written by AI, so actual human writers are forced into writing SEO-leaning content that looks like an AI wrote it, because they too are told by their editors (and their editors, and their managers etc higher up) to generate as much traffic as possible. Hell, I was trained to prioritise SEO myself, and it's a burden that absolutely destroys the quality and meaning of any article you write (and forces you to write several a day, obviously). An important part of the reason it's so difficult to distinguish real writing and AI writing in contemporary journalism is that the pendulum has swung from AI mimicking humans, to humans mimicking AI, all in the hope of, as you say, earning pennies. Fantastic insight as always, thank you.

important distinction between the thing in MGS2 and AI. The things we are dealing with arent AI, just predictive algorithms. Actual general artificial intelligence is a ways off and is going to make everything much much stranger when it turns up. It may seem like a pedantic distinction, but deliberately avoiding calling these algorithms "AI" (especially when one has a platform) is a real actionable way to reduce the problems they are causing.

There's this thing I keep seeing where artists I've followed for ages are suddenly getting random accusations of using AI on new stuff, even though it's totally consistent with their older portfolio. Like, you can spend years dedicating yourself to a craft, and instead of being met with praise for your accomplishments and skills, people are assuming you asked a computer to create it in 2 seconds while you've been spending your time mindlessly binging Family Guy or something. I can't blame people for keeping their guard up, but God, it's depressing.

You talking about the twitter bots replying to a video without sound reminds me of semi-similar encounter with a youtube comment bot I had. It would always comment general compliments like, “You are one of the most underrated creators on this platform!” or “Your passion is outstanding!” It always had about 6 or 7 likes on the comment too. However, it was rather easy to identify it and those who liked it as bots, as it would comment these on the damn WWE official channel, on clips where they performed in front of thousands of people. Something tells me that no real person would describe that as “underrated”.

On Twitter it has become a kind of rule that blue checkmark means bot or grifter most of the time. It's obnoxious how artificially nonsensical has become.

Small note: 1. The AI At the end of MGS2 conveying its plans isn't GW, by that point in the game GW is destroyed, which is conveyed at the start of the codec cut scene with all the narrative about the AI plans. 2. As someone who runs a website with a number of volunteer contributiors, and I can tell you from my experience, there's no end of writers who, for whatever reason, write like that first example article. 3. As for the AI not being like MGS2 predicted. While that's true, the difference is two fold. The source of the AI's creation. The hands of those who define its existence, shape its intentions. Aside from that, what MGS2 called AI isn't what we are using the term to mean now. It's the difference between an orange and the colour orange.

I mean, I could be petty and say that MGS2 was still right, if you consider the idea that the virus uploaded by Emma was, in fact, a random generation algorithm. It could be possible that instead of facilitating the growth of humanity through objectivity, it broke down to just facilitate... anything. Literally anything at random to hold engagement. How many times did you answer the codec calls after it broke down when you first played after all? Not to mention danger still lied in repeating old mission objectives to Raiden as if they were current ones. I don't believe this was intentional by Kojima at all, but still, hmm.

the internet isn't dead, it's currently dying :3

We've had information, then misinformation. Now we have uninformation.

Honestly, what has kept me sane and made me know I'm looking at Human-made* (possibly) news outlets or content, is mostly the typos, they are the biggest indication something's been written hastly and without any algorithm improvement of any kind.

As the view count crawls up keeping pace with about 1000 per hour I can't say enough how much I really enjoyed this Video. It doesn't perform well, but this is probably the most profound one you've made. Breaching outside of internal retrospection and into what everyone's everyday has become.

I don't think MGS2 was wrong, but I do think it was imcomplete due to either the imagination of Kojima and the other writers, or because of the framework of the story being told. The MGS series is downing in the Great Man theory of history, which isn't unusual for fiction as it's hard to wright a story with a captial H hero without leaning into it even just a little bit, but it's worth thinking about due to the way MGS interacts with real world history. MGS2, through GW, fails to imagine a future where there is more than on GW creating its own truth. Not a Great Man, but Great Men shaping history and the future. Which is a bit sad, because that would have been a powerful rejoinder from Raiden.

7:17 - Part of the problem is that many people just suck at writing. The last time many of us had to write something serious was high school English class, which is great if you have to churn out a shitty five-paragraph essay, but it doesn't prepare you for proper writing. I can easily believe that this example is AI, but I can just as easily believe it's some overworked and underpaid human who has no idea what they're doing. The problem is not knowing - faced with a lack of certainty, people tend to get paranoid and suspicious of everything presented to them. I bet you could grab some random passage from Wikipedia (that hasn't changed since 2020 or so), show it to a bunch of people, and a significant percentage would say "Yeah, that's AI."

I feel like writing a story. Nobody can walk around downtown anymore without hearing some jerk wad talking to themselves. They all wear bluetooth headphones and pretend like they're having conversations on the phone while they walk around. Some of them play it straight the whole way through and do it really convincingly but most of them just walk around talking about how they're talking to themselves while expecting everyone to have tuned them out as someone having a phone conversation. It sounds like something from a prank video that would have come out a decade ago but most of them don't even record it. It's, uh, some kind of self confidence thing? I don't really know what to make of it. The whole thought of "Nobody cares what you're doing. They just care about what you think that they're doing." might be helpful for an insecure middle school child who gets bullied but I don't think that's what I want an entire generation to believe like it's gospel. It didn't take long for people on phone calls joking like they were talking like the people talking to themselves to crop up. It's like calling attention to how suspicious it was somehow made them confident enough to try to begin with. I think that if this stupid trend keeps going the way it is then every sensible person is just going to wait until they're home to have a phone call make them feel less alone. I mean, there's already people talking to themselves pretending like they're talking to celebrities, and now there's celebrities making content where *plot twist* they were actually talking to the celebrity. Really heady stuff, I know. I miss being able to piece together a person on the other end in my head when I walk by people talking to each other. Am I on the other end by this point?

Hey this is a great video! Just one thing, the Gamerant guide you mentioned is almost certainly not AI. Gamerant, the website you showed, explicitly doesn't allow writers to use AI generated text. But you're right in saying that if feels like it was written by one. Most of Gamerant's guides read so weird because the website insist on using an impersonal and authoritative tone across the whole site. This means no first and second person (You, I, Me) and no talking directing to the reader. That's terrible for guides in particular (imagine if write an instruction manual without talking directing directly to the reader) but it makes all their articles read like news reports. Plus, the pay is so bad that writers just don't have time to find creative solutions. That's also why the guide was based on someone's post and why it's so vague. The pay just doesn't work if you actually play the games you write about.

7:20 this is a problem I have noticed long before AI was writing articles. Looking up solutions for problems would often yield many articles that start off with a sterile and completely useless introductory paragraph that always starts with something to the effect of "If you are anything like me then x problem really bothers you" as if I needed to be told that. The intro paragraph always ends with something like "This is the article for you." I'm already here because you presumably have information that I am lacking. It's very annoying to have an article try to sell itself as worth your time while it actively wastes it. I distinctly remember being educated to write in the intro-body-conclusion style like this so I imagine many journalists understand this to be the correct way to communicate. The funny ish part is that AI uses these kinds of junk articles in their training data so naturally they would follow this style too.

I feel like it's really starting to be talked about again, but i typically only hear the shock and awe about how so much of what it talked about does line up (like the first minute or so of this video) Honestly, contextualizing the differences between what MGS2 touched on, and what we're dealing with today, was really interesting. And kind of a bummer. Like, at least MGS2 was interesting in it's AI's goals and tools, as opposed to "Algorithms and speech models being used to capitalize on internet space." Really cool video though! I enjoyed it a lot! I can't wait to see what's next, and ough i have so much backlog i can watch ;~; (if anyone has any fave videos from this channel they wanna share I'd love to hear them :] )

Does anyone have a link to the Seychelles ai article that Leadhead talked about?

MGS2 is dealing with military applications. They don’t exactly share all that much on how GW was influencing other parts of society. MGS4 went into a bit with its commercials that serve the AI program. Currently the US government is developing a fighter plane flown by ai for aerial combat. Beyond that Project Maven Is now underway. Beyond that MGS2 came out as wars post 9/11 were starting. I always took the AI in MGS2 was not focused on truth, but only American truth.

are the articles linked in the description? i don't see them

15:28 I remember this video circulate on Russian social networks years ago, and, yes, the sound of his voice did actually resemble a starting engine. Definitely a tongue-twister tho. That wasn't AI, that was a stupid bot, reusing existing comments on the same video.

shouldnt have watched this baked af

Its like all those millions of comments that are like "lets just appreciate how much effort this person puts in" but those are even worse because they're entirely pointless

a position i strongly agree with is this: what the tech sphere has decided to call "AI" is really... not. LLMs aren't "intelligent" in any meaningful way, they're little more than really good predictive text engines - not unlike the feature built into most smartphone keyboards. humans tend to overeagerly ascribe intelligence to anything that _appears to_ communicate as they do; it's a similar story with most "talking animals", honestly. (of course, animals _are_ intelligent, despite not being able to recite the complete works of shakespeare) ... oh and of course, "AI" is _the_ buzzword that sells things right now. or at least investors are all convinced it does. (see also acollierastro's video titled "AI does not exist but it will ruin everything anyway")

That's like saying a digital notepad isn't really paper. Yeah, obviously. We've been using the term "AI" to refer to artificial facsimiles of intelligence for awhile now. Enemies and bosses in arcade games are AIs. Bot accounts are AIs. LLMs and MLAs are just more advanced AIs than the ones we've had for nearly half a century now. An AI doesn't need to be self-aware and sapient in order to be an AI.

I LOVE LEADHEAD!!!!!

Screaming. It's become impossible to find just about any good information on the internet about any subject, just because of all this machine-written, SEO-optimized crap. The worst part, like you said, it really isn't some grand conspiracy or anything. It really is just an emergent phenomenon that's come about because of the way the internet is monetized now.

The part that fascinates and disturbs me most is how somebots today are creating content based on data stolen from the content made by other bots, like a cult of incestuous cannibals. I wonder how far that would go, if bots only "fed" off of other bots. What would the end results be a few months down the line? Would they just end up churning out basically the same mediocre crap, having boiled down their content to what is the most efficiently marketable? Or would they end up producing something utterly incomprehensible, whole articles of word salads or videos consisting of a mind-numbing hodgepodge of color and sound, completely divorced from anything resembling human art? I wonder if anyone has tried something like that already.

i saw that ''revving up'' video a few years ago, and it did sound as described, however this seems to be A.I. generated or sth. the video does exist tho, as described

On the note of Twitter botposts- yeah, you hit the hammer on the head, goddamn. Elon has made Twitter a horrible place, I mean, look at Elon Musks' own replies- or any popular meme page- its just image macros and near-human, yet meaninglessness nonesense What kind of hell have we created? I used to jokingly say that i wish we lived in the 'cool' kind of technologic dystopia, but we're far beyond that :/. I might have to talk to my grandparents and elderely neighbours about the all this AI generated spam news, god forbid my grandmother reads 'Seychelles goes 'Ka-Boom!' as State of Emergency kicks in - Chaos, prepare for your grand entry!' and tries to comprehend it. Keep up the good work, LeadHead, I always enjoy your content.

Another great video!

I keep getting Google news suggestions for articles that are basically just "here was a reddit post with a funny premise" and a lot of essay padding so they can throw in a dozen ads, which don't even show for me. This is ultimately what GW would have done. "I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!" It's funny that there are people who think most of the internet is "dead". Because sometimes people just disappear off the internet and because automation and botting *are* common, they believe most of the people you interact with are bots. In reality who is or isn't a bot is pretty fucking obvious.

Automated advertising on the Internet needs to be outlawed in order to fix this, but that just comes with its own host of problems.
