Genuine good faith questions about election rules, voting procedures, and candidate policies & positions. Are all things that should be encouraged regardless of country or region.

Bad faith rants or indictments of candidates or parties posing as questions are annoying everywhere.

Discouraging people from seeking information about elections is dangerous and morally dubious at best.

Doesn’t mean this is good content I think belongs here. The original video that links to a transcript and a source article do belong here. You want a description cause you don’t want to watch it? go feed the link into chat got. Or ask in the comments. I’m gonna call out corpo freebooting bullshit when I see it and it doesn’t belong on lemmy.

Sorry, I’m pissy rn.

Sorry I was trying to match the level of insulting tone of your reply, I guess I went too mean.

Technology Connections actually has great CC and Transcripts as I believe Alec adds them directly after proofing an as aired script after his final edit. But I am only guessing based on the level of quality I’ve seen in both after years of watching his channel.

Your point kind of falls apart though because the subject at interest here is not ‘battery testers’ it’s about a crappy ‘news’ site generating a two paragraph summary of a YouTube video and screencaping images from said video in order to generate ad revenue with minimal effort and dubious ethics.

That freebooted content being from a longstanding creator of high quality, educational, video content. If you’re so interested in the subject and want to learn more about the subject why not look for one, or even just ask? Instead of trying to make some lame high horse comment in defense of some crappy ai text that only exists to mooch off of actual people’s work.

Not to mention you didn’t even ask for a source you wanted a ‘content description’ which is like you came in here and went ‘I don’t want video, I want ai slop describing the video.’

Also, you’re a dingus.

ok bud

You know there’s a difference between using sources and just regurgitating a summary of something with AI right?

That’s what pissed me off the most.

Someone already had, but good point.

Guess what you can also read? A transcript of the video dingus. Also there’s a source listed in the description, guess what it is? An article.

Huh?

What with the weird freebooting article? This ‘article’ is just a description of Alec’s video with the clickbait cranked up to ten. Gotta love a major corporation using small creators’ work for free ad revenue…

I mean I’d rather Alec get the direct views than this weird hackaday article that’s just a description of his video with a link. Not trying to knock hackaday but this is real close to freebooting.

Ok now I am trying to knock hackaday after learning the ownership chain goes up to Siemens. Frigg off with this corpo garbage.

Why do people hate this fuckin bot so much?

Yeah this doesn’t exactly sound like a Mr. Smith goes to Washington type…

Ah I should have known it was smcf

What is with the most evil fuckin corps taking names from Tolkien for their shitty companies. Lookin at you palantir you fucks don’t even pronounce it right. Creepy shitheels

See, this is how to be that guy but actually be nice and helpful at the same time. Good on you

This is really the kind of thing you should be working on with a therapist and not lemmy. I know there’s catharsis and support to be found here, but we are not the help you probably want to be looking for.

Right, fuck, my bad. Welp, yeah, I’m sorry to say but I think it has more to do with your progression into understanding more about the world and perspectives outside of your own experience. In no way am I trying to be mean or discouraging. You asked a really valid and important question, and i guess i impulsively reacted and forgot there are people less jaded than me. For what it’s worth i admire you and hope that learning some people are STILL stuck being shitty doesn’t make you think everyone sucks. And I’m proud to learn that another person younger than me just ‘gets it’ that people are people deserving of love and respect regardless of bullshit like who they themselves love.

All of a sudden? Where have you been the last 80-100 years?

Fwiw, extras don’t have lines. If it weren’t a cameo(cause fame), he would be called a day player most likely. Larry Ellison is also apparently in there as himself somewhere.
