"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

YouTube lets absolutely anyone upload a video, even if it will only get tens of views from their immediate friends, meaning someone can start making videos and grow organically.
I don't think Floatplane lets just anyone upload.
Totally true, but existing creators need a way to do subscriptions and raise money to fund the channels, which Floatplane provides.
Right tool for the job and all that.
Oh definitely, it serves a valid role. It's not a direct replacement for YouTube though.
