I think it’s because it’s a category that’s usually on autoplay while people aren’t paying attention or are, as named, sleeping, so it’s easier to go unnoticed.

I immediately block any YouTube account that mentions sleep/rest in the name at this point. There are hundreds of those fake history ones that are straight up hallucinations of things that never happened.

They’re putting all their efforts into exacerbating it, because the more agreeable it is the more people “like” it, and the more time they spend with it. It gets RLHF’d into being more and more of a sycophant.

As far as I’m concerned the LED exists to give the illusion that it isn’t always recording.

I mean, there won’t be. Not with the current gen of transformers/attention/etc. It’s now been over eight years since the “Attention is All You Need” paper that kicked off all of this, and every company is just betting billions upon billions on scaling being enough when it so obviously isn’t. They could train a 20T parameter model and it wouldn’t be meaningfully better. The limits of the architecture were reached some time ago. The comedown will be rough.

That last stat is insane. We’re so screwed.
