57:14 The fossil fuels we burn came from the carboniferous period when basically the whole planet was covered in thick vegetation and algae and plankton in the ocean not from dinosaurs. The breakdown of algae in anaerobic environments at the bottom of the ocean is where most oil deposits came from as well as decaying vegetation trapped in bogs which is where we get the carbon in coal deposits.

I'm a licensed therapist, and here's why clients and other therapists have told me to avoid BetterHelp like the plague: 1. They will connect you with a therapist that MAY NOT EVEN BE LICENSED, and likely is not in your state. 2. They will straight-up lie about whether or not they accept your insurance, or change the amount of your co-pay without telling you and charge you $100 a session after you've been seeing your therapist for 4 months.

Exactly, and as much as they like to think they have an audience intelligent enough to see through it, there are literal children and people without much digital literacy watching that can and will fall for a scam if it's advertised to them via youtubers, that's why companies like that use youtubers instead of traditional advertisements.

actually, more data is *NOT* the best way to go "more better", instead, more *GOOD* data is the best way...just shoving more data in, is the EASIEST way, though... there's entire papers about how people who trained with specifically hand-curated training data, got nearly as good models as the current top models, at a FRACTION of the size and complexity, but it isn't that cheap to manually curate the datasets, it takes a lot of time and effort, which is why people just blindly throw data at it, because "it works well enough" at the cost of requiring literally supercomputers to be able to crunch through it, while the hand-curated ones can run on FAR lower hardware requirements, and training costs are lower too
Love this line of thought at 1:20:00 ish. This is exactly what happened with electronic music. In the beginning the sounds were very crisp and clean and everything kept perfect time, and that quickly lost it's novelty. What artists ended up doing was finding ways to 'humanize' the sounds of these tools, intentionally using broken gear, outdated recording tech, and intentionally adding subtle imperfections in other ways to make the music more 'alive.' I can see this happening with AI too. People are going to find better ways of using the tools to make something we couldn't make before, but is still definitely human.
Trees store carbon in the ground via roots. Dinosaurs are not your fossil fuels they were not abundant and energy dense enough to produce any notable amounts of fuels. Instead ancient plants, bacteria, and cyanobacteria make up nearly all fossil fuels.
When they talked about the genuine uses of chat GPT I think of how my mother's workplace uses it. Because they are a company that gives food service to people who often couldn't get a good education, they need to put things at a 6th grade reading level. This used to be very difficult, because everyone writing the reports was a specialist who had no idea what a 6th grade reading level was, but now what was one of the most difficult parts of their jobs became a lot easier, because the AI can put complex issues at a 6th grade reading level with ease. IDK I just find it cool how people use these things as a tool, rather than trying to turn it into a free "Do my job for me" kind of thing

19:20 For me it kind of depends on how much I like/ am passionate about the video. If I really like it, I’ll tend to put more in effort. Currently I’ve been uploading a bunch of clips from my backlog of previously non-uploaded Xbox live clips so, some of those are just default or minimal effort thumbnails because I have a lot of individual clips to upload.
This is one of the best episodes of any podcast I've ever listened to, and I've listened to every single episode of the yard. doug blends with you guys so well, you NEED to get him on again.
No retroactieve carbon capture is the same as the fridge experiment. To get it out of the atmosphere it takes more energy they you are pulling out. This is only possible with all renewable energy if you want it to make sense.
About how the Large Language Model works, if we take an extremely small example, it can only input float (decimals) and output floats. The model is just weighted random (float) and we convert ex the letter A to ex 0.25 letter B to 0.5, C to 0.75 and D to 1.0 (if we only had 4 letters). If you train it AAB and AAC and and you input AA it will either return B or C with 50% of each, if you train it AAB, AAB and then AAC it will have 66.6..% chance for returning B is 33.33...% chance for returning C. If you do this with the whole alphabet instead of just 4 letters and train it on longer text, basically multiply this example by a billion and thats how GPT works and even Image generation works, but instead of letters mapped to float, its RGB XY mapped to floats..
Ya'll need to have NightHawkinLight on. He's literally making passive cooling using radiative panels that converts incoming light to infrared that cuts thru the atmosphere.

1:09:00 Being in college around artists and CS nerds when GPT4 came out was interesting. There are so many amazing things AI can do, but there are so many ways it goes terribly wrong. I love that AI can tailor learning to individuals, but there are so many more ways to use it maliciously.
Hey! I work on a lot of zoological research and I guess I'm also technically an AI scientist now? I just wanted to respond to Doug's comment about fine tuning vs ground up machine learning. Finetuning is absolutely the correct approach for the kind of work Doug does, and that a lot of the general public will do. However, ground up is still the preferred method for a lot of research and high level use because the precision matters a lot and starting with an existing model can really, really muddy your waters (believe me, we found this the hard way), especially when the type of data you need to generate is in minute quantities online.
The coincidence of this occurring is wild. I just started watching DougDoug over the past 3 weeks. I feel like I must be responsible for this, somehow. Thanks, all!
Yes as far as I understand the real problem isn't carbon capture with technology or with natural resources, it's figuring out how to permanently or at least long term securely bury it so it doesn't on it's own reenter the planetary biosphere within a geologically short period of time. And when it eventually reenters the biosphere, for that process to be sufficiently slow, as slow as it gets reburied naturally. So basically, how to solve the fossil fuel caused climate crisis = make fossil fuel again, a process that only happened like once (/twice?) in the entire geologic history of the planet as far as I know. Or alternatively as a more hightech sci-fi solution: Figuring out how to somehow efficiently get it out of the earth's system permanently and for that to someway consume less energy (be energy negative i.e. produce usable energy rather than consume that) and emmit less carbon ifself, than it get's rid of in the first place.

My beef with better help is that they don’t accept health insurance, and it lets the health insurance companies who make it difficult to find a therapist through their networks off the hook for actually providing their patients with therapy (as all health insurance companies in the U.S. are required to provide by law)
One serious problem with carbon capture is, it requires a ton of energy to implement. So much so, that if it were powered by fossil fuels, the carbon capture would only be able to capture some, but not all, of the emissions generated by the fuel used to power the technology. You don't have that problem *exactly* with renewable energy sources, but the very similar problem there is that the positive impact is greater if you just take that renewable energy, and use it to supplant existing fossil fuel energy, without ever thinking about carbon capture. The math goes like this, for example (exact numbers made up, this is just to demonstrate the principle) a 1kW carbon capture system can capture the carbon generated by the fossil fuel burned to generate 0.5kW of power the 1kW capture system is powered by solar, so this doesn't have emissions in operation, and the system can eliminate the impact of an additional 0.5kW of fossil fuel power; great! Except, if you instead use the 1kW solar directly for utilities, you can reduce the output of the fossil fuel plant by 1kW, which is, of course, more than the 0.5kW the capture system can offset. Congratulations, no middle man, and you save on the cost and environmental impact of manufacturing the carbon capture system. Unless that ratio of the energy equivalent of the captured carbon to energy consumed by the capture system becomes greater than 1 (to my knowledge, we are nowhere close, with no signs of substantially closing that gap), carbon capture will always be a stupid thing to implement
the problem with planting trees is that even if you covered all land on earth it wouldnt make a dent in the emission and most fossil fuels are mainly from sea creatures way older than dinosaurs and plant matter
To the point about the cool things you can do with AI, id argue Neuro-sama the ai vtuber is a prime example. She serves to play off the human aspects of her content.

Climate scientists prefer "climate change" to "global warming" because there can be localized cooling despite a net increased temperature.
It also better describes the changes to storm frequency and severity in a way people might notice on their own rather than leaving the inference of more heat/heat deltas equals more energy in storms

Except, if you instead use the 1kW solar directly for utilities, you can reduce the output of the fossil fuel plant by 1kW, which is, of course, more than the 0.5kW the capture system can offset. Congratulations, no middle man, and you save on the cost and environmental impact of manufacturing the carbon capture system.
Unless that ratio of the energy equivalent of the captured carbon to energy consumed by the capture system becomes greater than 1 (to my knowledge, we are nowhere close, with no signs of substantially closing that gap), carbon capture will always be a stupid thing to implement
YES DOUGLAS
For a second i thought Doug was wearing his shufflemania outfit
the problem with planting trees is that even if you covered all land on earth it wouldnt make a dent in the emission and most fossil fuels are mainly from sea creatures way older than dinosaurs and plant matter
so what you're saying is, my name is really good?

To the point about the cool things you can do with AI, id argue Neuro-sama the ai vtuber is a prime example. She serves to play off the human aspects of her content. Be that the artist who drew her model, the creators who interact with her, or the chat/community who give her material to bounce off of
I've never seen Doug on a podcast, this is wild
First sentence immediately demonetized 😔
Guys when you write software do you write tests?

24:08 okay to go back to kids being the dumbest, so are our seniors
very curious to see how this ages and hope you 4 are correct
