Least-diluted nerd youtuber Technology Connections effort rants about why using content algorithms has made you all r-slurred (despite it greatly benefiting him), also featurette on why I hate consoomers and their programmed love of jumpcuts

As someone who has long disabled youtube search history/recommendations (and shorts disabled with an extension) :fancywithwine: I was pretty shocked that only 4-5% of his views come from the subscription feed. The irony too is that this video of his is saturated with stock footage to break up the monotony (which he usually never does so it's more of a dunk on his dumber viewers) instead of just one longshot of him staring into the camera the whole time which he has done other videos about. Though part of this is possibly related to his use of a teleprompter and multiple takes to make better videos without obvious jump cuts but I suspect he's just high level attempting to dumb shit down to reach the lowest common denominators.

Overall these hot takes highlight the problem with doom scrolling as well as the overall decreased attention spans of people and the enshittification of all medias and movies which really started to gain momentum imo around 2000-2010.

Lets use the most common vehicle, movies. Movies used routinely to hold long shots but still held your attention.

Old Alfred Hitchpeepee movies are a good example of this which included slow long takes which were planned out in meticulous detail. Here's one of my favorite scenes showing this at it's best from North by Northwest (1959) :

If you haven't seen North by Northwest I don't blame you, but it's basically the original Bourne Identity except if that was a good movie without shitty shaky cam.

Not only was N by NW good, it was planned meticulously . I know this because I've seen Bigpeepee's storyboards for the movie.

Ironically, these storyboards are NOT EVEN really accessible online anymore and even trying to FIND them with AI fricking breaks the AI lmfao:

In addition, the AI links to shit artwork by a fricking r-slur zoomer who REMADE STORYBOARDS FOR HITCHPEEPEE WITHOUT FRICKING REALISING THEY ALREADY EXISTED

The irony.

:marseyxd: :marseyraging:

This pissed me off so much that I went through the trouble to compile the real story boards, unfortunately it's so difficult to find this shit online anymore because of shit algorythms, I had to manually piece it together from a collection of High and low quality sources due to dead links and shit just so you can compare the actual talent making film used to have:

To round it off, here is a peak example heralding the one of the earliest clear examples of enshittification of movies. I always go back to is this trash one called Domino (2005) from the apex of Keira Knightley's career as a shitty proana actress. The entire movie is literally nothing but jumpcuts that are 99% sub 2-second shots.

Example, Just count the seconds between each cut:

The film bombed because it was shit and also unwatchable, but now the idea that you must be bombarded every second with SUB 1-SECOND CUTS is the eye :rape: way of the future, and driven 24/7 by algorithms and dopamine.

TLDR:

  • Reject algorithms

  • Embrace thinking

  • Algorithm based feeds are r-slurred blackholes that result in feedback loop degradation/model collapse of your brain

I will comment, as I usually do on Tech Connections threads, about how much I find him dumb and annoying. There are endless moments on his channel where he acts all wowed at something that was totally obvious to non-idiots. It's like a kids' science show but without the cuteness.

He likes weird tech shit though and his deep dive on pulse oximeters was amazing and humble, and as a nurse I give him props because he even detailed the flaws of their design because it requires ~$5,000 multiwaveform pulseoximeters to detect nuanced hypoxia from phenomena like carbon monoxide poisoning which still activates your hemoglobin which is why in fancy restaurants they gas steaks with ozone to make them appear bright red instead of grey

Whoa whoa whoa, redpill @PeepeeButtKiss on oximeters. @PeepeeButtKiss dont rlly have 99% oxygen or what?

If you got carbon monoxide in your blood stuck to your bloodcels it will change the shape of the hemoglobin the same as if oxygen was except CO has a 200 times greater affinity for hemoglobin binding thus blocks oxygen from coming in through your lungs, so if you were suffering from CO poisoning you would indeed show saturations in excess of 90-99%

chronic smokers have this in a smoldering form where you have to actually look at all the gasses dissolved in their blood to get an accurate picture of how well perfused they are because smoking causes baseline carbon monoxide poisoning but not to a deadly degree but just enough to frick up all the metrics.

Ugh he's so annoying but he helped me get my dishwasher working again so I guess I can't fully hate him.
