You know you're on the (alt-)right side of history when you have to consider arresting people for saying true things about your murderous and oppressive regime.
Artists have to submit the recording, artwork and metadata to create Art Tracks,” a YouTube spokesperson wrote in an email statement to Bellingcat.
So they say “auto generated” because the submitter submits an audio track, an image and metadata, and YouTube sticks them together for the user.
There’s no CC track included, no parsing of the Hindi lyrics, no generation or parsing of the images. So at that point, YouTube is really assembling the video track, not generating it.
And Bellingcat is attempting to capitalize on the phrasing to concern troll.
The point of the article is that there is not enough content moderation on these types of videos. Bellingcat calls them auto-generated because that is what YouTube calls them (they highlight that is several screenshots). They showed real harm that comes from the statements and sentiments in the songs that are being uploaded. That is not concern trolling, that is pointing out an inadequate policy that needs to be addressed.
But the fact that these are “auto-generated” vs regularly uploaded doesn’t really change anything about the fact that there isn’t enough content moderation.
Unless somebody reports things, almost nothing is happening regarding questionable content. (Of course, they can scan for any known copyrighted material with great precision :p )
Sure, but my take away was that it is a particular issue in the auto-generated videos because they are often sent whole discographies from the labels, so they are getting uploaded en-masse.
The platform uses the term “Auto-generated” since the videos are not uploaded directly by users. “YouTube auto-generates videos at scale [which it terms Art Tracks] for audio tracks delivered by record labels and distributors. Artists have to submit the recording, artwork and metadata to create Art Tracks,” a YouTube spokesperson wrote in an email statement to Bellingcat.
Looks like you commented a couple minutes before me, but it was two hours since your initial comment, so I did not expect you to find it at the same time.
Biden seems like he was easily swayed by the Zionist propaganda engine, but that’s what they do. They literally fly people in from around the world for free to brainwash them. He’s an old and frail man who shouldn’t be the head of state, really.
Israelis want Bibi out,“after the war”… which is weak, and the Israeli government should be taken to court for crimes against humanity. The Israeli people should REALLY take inventory with their Zionist nationalist parties. But they won’t do that by way of antagonism.
Hamas should be replaced with a new national Palestinian election (they’ve been in power since the early 00s) because they do not represent Palestinian interests. They are shills for the authoritarian Iranian government who continue to flare up conflicts in the middle East for their own selfish gains and their own hatred for the US.
The US needs to deal with it’s corruption and broken checks and balances, like their laws that are gamed and plugged full of holes. They also have a huge problem with outrage, hampering their democracy’s decision making. Congressmen and presidents should not be the decision makers of military budgeting or military engagement. That should be regulated (but not instantiated) by the pentagon. The pentagon actually advised against going into both Iraq and Afghanistan.
But all that doesn’t matter now. What matters is you. All this can be incredibly taxing on the mind. Believe me, I know. You may have lost someone or feel the pain of the people, but you’ll be powerless to help anyone if your balance is out of whack.
Right now you gotta think about you. You are loved, you are worthy and you deserve peace of mind. But you have to moderate your intake, because it can break just about anyone and can scare away those who do love you.
Again: trust me, I know.
Please, take a break. If not for me, or for yourself, then do it for the ones around you who love you.
If you want to vent or to call me an idiot, you can send me a DM to keep it private.
I hope I come across as nothing but concerned. I do not think lesser of you. I wish you the best.
Why couldn’t Biden have said about the hospital bombing in Gaza, despite the (supposed) evidence to the contrary, something like “this is a terrible tragedy for the Palestinian people,” (which he may in fact have said), but much more importantly, “it’s not clear who is responsible for this terrible attack,” even if there was 100% incontrovertible evidence that Islamic Jihad did this (which they may or may not have, I honestly don’t know). Everyone in the Arab world thinks, rightly, that the US will back Israel no matter what, and that we’re not a fair dealer in any of this. No one in the Arab world believes that IJ did this, they all believe Israel is responsible, and why shouldn’t they? What reason do they have to trust the US and Israel? This is where some diplomatic fudging could have really helped the situation. But Biden didn’t end up meeting with a single Arab leader because of this. At a certain point you have to throw the other side a bone if there is any hope of them ever trusting you. I confess that despite some things I definitely don’t like, I have been pleasantly surprised at how good the Biden presidency has been overall. But his trip to Israel may have made things a lot worse. No negotiations mean that no hostages will be released, no ceasefire can be implemented, no progress can be made.
Biden was supposed to meet Jordan’s King Abdullah, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas cancelled his presence following the hospital bombing, then Biden discussed with King Abdullah and they agreed to call it off.
Biden was not complacent with Israel in his address at Tel Aviv. He urged Israel not to give in to rage, drawing a parallel with USA’s mistakes following 9/11.
I might be overly optimistic, but I feel that countries (including the US) supporting Israel are in the process of diplomatically clarifying that their support is not really unconditional and that peace is the only acceptable objective. In that sense I don’t think his trip was all bad.
To add on to your point, you publicly support allies while having private conversations counseling them on prudent courses of action. They don’t listen to you if you call them out publicly, which is usually a sign that privately articulated red lines have been crossed. I’m sure Biden is pressing them privately to have a more measured response, and is likely to have more traction than if he was publicly trashing them.
Just like you don’t use all available sanctions out of the gate with an adversarial state, to leave room to negotiate and leave some channels open. Diplomacy is more nuanced than “saying it like it is” all the time.
I like how people that are perfectly ok with giving amnesties for human rights violations and war crimes (the 1977 Amnesty Law) are complaining about an amnesty for an invalid administrative act. Fucking fascist hypocrites.
That’s an interesting business to be in, it sounds like they just have power plants on boats they can dock where needed to provide power. So if they didn’t get paid they could literally sail away with the power plant 🤣
Probably makes sense for infrastructure in some parts of Africa.
So it's a good from Karpowership's parent company's POV but if its customers could afford their own power plants that would be a better solution for them.
Ty for the info. The ZA deal probably makes sense.
Tbh I’m disappointed at how small it’s recorded engine power is. Imagining it being able to apply it’s city sized power generation to its propeller and hydroplaning away 😂
Milei is an idiot, but I can’t blame Argentinians (much) for voting for him. What other choices do they have that they haven’t tried several times already, each time with disastrous results.
It would be interesting to know how many of the votes he’ll get are actually votes “for him” as opposed to “anything but the established parties”.
That’s actually the best summary I’ve read for a long time.
Having said that, besides Milei being a right-wing misogynystic asshat, linking the peso to the dollar might actually do the country’s economy a lot of good in the long term. It has been tried before - sadly unsuccessfully because the rampant corruption in other places more than negated the positive effects, so Milei’s success there probably depends on a) whether he actually does what he’s promising to do, b) whether the new government actually will be less corrupt than the current and previous ones (though being any more corrupt than the Kirchner clan is going to be super hard), and c) whether the people will support the changes long enough once they realize that it means they too will get less subsidies and government hand-outs.
