You completely misrepresented this case and the sentencing to fit a narrative for your video. This case was reviewed by multiple courts and the sentencing upheld as correct. Not only that but it was reviewed by Supreme Court who said sentencing was correct. On top of that there are tons of law articles on it talking about how there was controversy on the compass algorithm however the sentencing was correct because most people go to jail for about 3 years or more for those crimes. You left out that the guy who was sentenced had a lengthy criminal record and was already a repeat offender so was sentenced accordingly. Not only that but simple research shows that a first time offender would get at least a year in prison. This isn’t something people don’t go to jail for. You literally either didn’t research which is crazy because just googling the case brings up a Harvard law article on it explaining the controversial use of algorithms however also stating it’s a good sentencing as well as many other articles on this. I can only assume you just ignored the facts of the case to mislead people to create the video you wanted regardless of facts or truth
I'm definitely going to start limiting my internet usage, and stop engaging in these false realities we're presented with on social media. I just want to live in the real world, meet people, workout, read books, etc. I think it will do wonders for my mental health
You can be real online. Just don't make the mistake of pretending you can "escape". Take it seriously. Be a skeptic. I keep it real online. If people don't like it, tough. Real people. Real thoughts. Real feelings. Real concerns. Simple as that.

I've deleted FB 3 years ago and after that time I can say with full confidence it posioned my worldview with bunch of unnecessary data provided by the thing.
@@GIwillo Until they get enough data on outliers to predict even the most unlikely scenarios based on the tiniest scrap of information. It is not going to be difficult to build an AI that possesses what amounts to foresight or precognition. It just parses trillions of possibilities per second, and spits out a chart of what you are most likely to do/like.
@@Pfromm007 We are data sets. Our existence is already based off precoded genetics so the only variable among us is experience. Once the algorithm knows what you like, where you go and what you do, it’s over. We aren’t that complicated.
@@iainballas There's this called survivor bias, take the law algorithm at the start, the data set might only contains the people who did the crime with specific patterns in their life, but not the people who didn't do the crime with the same specific patterns in their life, sometimes the amount of people who didn't do the crime but still retains the patterns are more than the ones who did the crime, Although I might be wrong, and we are soon doomed to succumb to the great algorithm with no hope of freedom or meaning for life.

I absolutely hate Facebook. And I also hate how you basically need it for work or social events. If you don't have Facebook, do you even exist? And if you delete Facebook, people think you've gone crazy or are very worried about you. And I hate the videos it shows me, in the feed. Before, it was just random pictures of the people you were friends with, and people writing on each other's walls. Now, it's just commercials and videos about abuse to people and animals, danger, stupidity, sex, pranks and other deeply disturbing things.
I haven't used Facebook since 2013. So about 10 years now. I still don't miss it. I'm now old school.

Remember algorithm dont know what is good or bad So it will always suggest you the things you're more interested in So choose wise and healthy contents
little long comment : Yes you are right because if you search for dieting , or get thin content , you will get more of those recommended and if someone is a social media addict they might be afraid of eating tasty food or find it disgust to eat tasty food because of fear of getting fat ; but these things are now reduced. [ while reducing unheahty food is good , sometime it can have a negetive impact , I once had a time in my life I hated all food except the very healthy ones , like carrots and water , not even rice or such in diets but I went away from that quickly-things like this affect only people who feel more need to do these stuff , if you want to reduce your weight quickly you might do this even if it's risky. Same for looks or any kind of life progress sometimes. It's great to be aware of all of these stuff and diet in a "healthy way " etc ] Same with violent content. The more controversial videos or post we see , the more of those we get recommended. So that's very crucial to be ware of all these possible rabbit holes. I had many experience on this even if I knew but later I forgot as I kept clicking through posts or videos. It's easy to get recommend rage bait news as we keep scrolling news sites too . I have read more nasty crimes news than some good news in a sitting on my new reading time periods.
As stupid as the YT algorithm is right now, I don't have any fears. Heck, I have subscribed over 300 channels and most of the time, the recommendations still suck.
UA-cams algorithm is trash. They don't try to show you whatever **you** want, it's whatever youtube known will keep you on their site. I use UA-cam music and have 6k songs liked, and the algorithm still refuses to show me new songs. It's scared I might not like the recommendations and leave the app.. I hate it so much.
Dopamine reward is ideally given at random intervals. They could give you the best things you’d like to watch immediately. But the time in between creates zombie scrolling as we crave another dopamine hit. They optimize for the most time on the platform.
I started getting piano ads on Instagram and different news sites, I have never searched up anything regarding pianos in recent times, I just play it sometimes. A couple of weeks ago me and a friend were having a conversation about clothing styles, normal phone conversation not texts, and boom, ads from clothing companies, and specifically the types of clothes(trousers in this case) we were talking about. It's getting creepier by the day. We worry about surveillance and government agencies, but we are the ones walking around with a surveillance device in our pockets, where our personal and financial information are stored.
Which is exactly why it's false evidence. Evidence that was used to imprison someone under the delusion that the evidence is concrete when it's not. That's got to be ground for fraud.

This is very interesting. I only use reddit & UA-cam. I'm not on any other social media. Those two take up enough of my attention & time! Thanks, Aperture! XX
Reddit is pretty valuable when you find a good subreddit. Sometimes I just browse 'new' and see what people are posting, which keeps me up with the community and isn't something recommended to me. It was simply what someone posted recently. And even still, the posts you see in 'hot,' 'top,' or 'controversial' are there because that community voted them to their spot, not because an algorithm placed them there. But youtube on the otherhand, you can just mindlessly scroll and scroll, randomly seeing all sorts of shit you had no desire to look for.
I remembered years ago my family and I were suddenly talking about peppers and few minutes later, I was bombarded with ads and articles about peppers on Facebook. No matter how private or secret you are, even when you're using adblock or something, the algorithm will always find a way to get your information.
The radicalizing effect of videos and the conformation bias caused by the algorithms is something I've been thinking a lot about lately and am so stoked that there are creators like you bringing awareness to this! We have so much information at our fingertips yet it's so easy to lose perspective
I wish it were that easy. I have to actively fight the algorithm to reach the content I want to find. Is it that the internet is radicalizing us or offering a broader diversity of information we never had access to. At what point is someone considered radical and to who? Are we becoming radicalized or has the term become devalued passed the point of it's intended use?
In all fairness, these suggestion algorithms suck completely. They never manage to actually give me information I am interested in, they are basically based on past searches. At least the social media algorithms are mediocre at best, no threat at all (at least for people with sufficient intelligence). Basing legal actions on an algorithm is something completely different, however. That is terrifying, as algorithms basically suck, I would not ever want them to decide on my faith.
The thing is they're designed to suck slightly. If they kept recommending you good content you'd be satisfied after a few searches or views. Instead, they intentionally mispredict say 9 in 10 times (not an actual statistic btw, just trying to illustrate how it works) just so that on the 10th recommendation you find something that is remotely enjoyable to you. It's exactly like a slot machine, keep scrolling for the possibility that you'll find something good.
The evidence isn't even known and fully understood because the people don't even know how it works. Not to mention it's under the pretence of "Might do a crime later". Which is not charging for a crime that WAS commited. But one that WASN'T. That's evidence that isn't even fully understood (making the evidence faulty) AND putting somone in jail for crimes NOT commited. That is unjust to the extreme. Even professional thrapists can't agree on what generalized nonsense they have to agree with. There are people that have seen them for over a decade without getting the help they need. Because, frankly, weekly aapointments is not consistent enough communication. And people expect us to believe some Ai that's been made by flawed people that don't understand enough? That's not only used to accuse people, but is also kept "secret" about how it works? I want to point out that it's a suspects legal right to view any evidence used against them. It's their LEGAL right. Which means the people using the evidence going "It's a secret about how it works" are employing FAKE evidence. Which cops are even trained to do because it's not illegal for them to do it. So perhaps the same can be true for the judge too. The ONLY way to catch on to that bullshit is to drag the evidence for all to see and examine and point out why it's flawed or false. I already view prisons as counter productive. Except perhaps in Denmark. U.S prisons are designed to make money from full cells. It's all about greed. That's the real reason. I say sue the judge for daring to use that so called "evidence" which is untested and in "beta" if not in "alpha". Get the case reexamined because of crimes NOT commited. This is basically fraud. Why should someone be in prison for things they haven't done? it's called innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around. While I take issue with the law, the gripe here is with the deciet, ignorance and delusion. The dishonesty. Aren't court rooms meant to represent honesty and truth? But only what the people in power want to see as the truth, right? If this is left unchallenged then AI could become more common place for court trials. Which is why I think it's important to challenge this court case. Which clearly has evidence where there's room for doubt. Which means the evidence may not (and most likely does not) add up. Leave it unchallenged, let it happen, and it could be someone you know that gets locked up by AI in the future. Keep that in mind.
Reminds me of how I find myself constantly wresting with google's algorithms. They really, really, really, REALLY want to cater to my most smooth brained impulses: "What's that? This dude watched a couple of Neuro-sama clips? He will definitely appreciate a torrent of vaguely lewd v-tuber clips." "Oh look! He watched a bunch of vapid meme videos! He definitely want's a lot more of those. Like, A LOT MORE!" "Hmm, he was curious what some nerd had to say about a piece of media. He absolutely want's to know what ALL the other nerds have to say about the exact same thing." It's gotten to the point that the only method I have for keeping my recommendations from becoming 95% cancer is to only ever open stupid shit in private mode, so as to not taint my official history and give the algorithms any ideas. For some reason I feel like they have gotten exceptionally sensitive to vapid topics as of late. Or perhaps my will has just eroded, and I klick on way more stupid shit than I used to. Either way, This private mode dance has become a necessity to preserve my sanity.
If anyone among us played Genshin Impact, you guys must've know the Akasha terminal systems which are predicting every user's next moves, much like how these algorithms function. Humans are unpredictable indeed, but AI is also trying to predict our thoughts, likes and dislikes. If it masters human logic and emotions, it is a scary thought to behold.
bruh lately ive been thinking how much the sumeru story was actually really scarily close to what real life is like. isnt akasha just like google, where we have all the info available and we believe whatever google tells us blindly without questioning it? and like u said, it can predict people just like algorithms. this game also comes from china, who is well known to be really good at surveillance of people. its all a little crazy huh
@@mimikyu_ at long last...i never expected a reply from my comment. Gamers like us understand what's actually behind the scenes are. It's alarmingly scary. I've played the game just to know/venture it out till the end, just to see how to plot develops with each updates on the patches. The game is made by a communist country, and these themes are not surprising at all. The cartoon Pinky and the Brain also reveals something so scary while i was a kid. This world is crumbling down tbh.
A powerful and poignant ending to a well thought-out video. It's honestly terrifying how much we are controlled by mindless lines of code and how much our psyche is changed by our interactions with apps and computer systems. It's becoming more and more important to take a step back and think about what we are doing and consuming and how it will affect us in the future.
Coming from someone who searches a wide variety of interests that scale differently compared to each other, my UA-cam recommendations are out of wack an suggest already watched videos mostly rather than like minded videos. I believe that it cannot pin point what I'd like due to it's confusion. But that's what reddit is for when I am looking for more channels than what i already consume.
That what you believe, I bet $1,000,000 it know what you want to watch and your hobbies as you display patterns over time. I get recommended the same videos from time to time but don't try and make it seem like you're Neo. You're not special to any algorithm
Most of these videos is just me sitting there nodding along, but looking into the comments always just surprises me with the amount of people who never pieced it together in this way, these videos are often just what I would make if I had more skill, time, and energy. Anyway props and please keep making videos.
I also wondered why algorithms show me what I already know. To confirm it? To alter with minor additions or tweaks? How anyone can be completely unaware of any of this til 2 weeks ago is more concerning than algorithms.
@@ApertureThinking I hope you'd consider adding the collective unconscious theory and the collective shadow by jung in an upcoming project its really quite an interesting thing .
Algorithms aren't a new concept, they've been around for a long long time. It's just transferred from humans adding up the data to computers.. Questionnaires, surveys, and things of that nature are Algorithms and have been used for a long time and so on.
this is it on another scale, i know you are trying to say this is trivial but algorithms have never brainwashed, polarize, and intentionally change and manipulate your behavior for profit, until smartphones came out in 2007., then social media becoming popular in 2012, then creating unseen amount of mental illness, more than ever in history.
@LP-kw3kj I guess the best way to respond is by hopefully explaining it in 2 parts. Part A and Part B to mainly try making it easier on me.. thus A is about algorithms and profit, Part b mental health. A. I'll start with my initial point of manipulation of people for profit is again, not a new concept. It's called Advertising, and just how the concept of currency exchanges for goods replaced the barter system. Algorithmic ways of promotion replaced word of mouth, at an effective manner for hundreds of years, twas basically inevitable. The concept has remained the exact same since the printing press, only the means of distribution has changed. Newspapers were like the 1700s/1800s equivalent of a smartphone as it connected humans in a revolutionary way like smartphones. Thus continued its progress to radio, then TV, and so on. Because conditioning people isn't anything new. Part B. The mental health side of it, to me, stems simply from the greatest trick we've played on ourselves. That being we actually have free will, which sure sounds like a great concept if it were true. But really, choice is just a coping mechanism conjured by the ego. As a way to consciously accept existence. But inturn is the very reason why anxiety, depression and so on are a thing. Thus there's always been the same amount of mental health issues, the idea it's increasing and worse than ever because of social media or what not is dumb. It's only seems that way because it's only been a focused topic recently, and trying to understand and educate the importance of doing so.. I mean it wouldn't be as much of an issue if we were to either give lobotomies or lock them up in a padded prison like we used too
There comes a time where these engineers need to ask themselves "is it even possible to work out these bugs?, or is it time to find a completely different tool that doesn't even have those consequences."
I'm glad to see atleast some people showing what's truly happening to the world... and I also did telling people how they've been lied to for hundreds of years. Thank you Aperture.

8:09 Ads is not sustainable, once someone builds an AI that detects ads and blocks them. Far more advanced than a basic adblocker extension. Brave already does this with articles: called SpeedReader.
what creeps me out is how all the "surveillance" cameras in my city watch and listen to me throughout my day and then feed that data back to me via the youtube algorithm. it is truly disturbing when you consider I DO NOT carry my phone around with me. leave your phone at home and see for yourself whether your city or town is as "bugged" as mine.
Yep, someone from facebook (might have been zuckerberg in court) once talked about how facebook is profiling people (users with accounts and non-users alike) based on information gathered from other people, like friends and family for example.
“For 100k thou your best friends turn to ops” Why wouldn’t your town sell your data? Why wouldn’t they run facial recognition? You don’t notice the bottle necks on highways? You think those “fast pass sites” are just for trucks? If you and say 100 other people ran a town, city or the like… why wouldn’t you sell the town’s people’s data? Why wouldn’t you watch them? Naw, they’re totally not tracking, profiling, and targeting you or me. Why would they? That’s some end stage capitalist dystopian nightmare stuff that’s pure fiction. I called in a noise complaint that ended with me on the porch in panties and a jacket. They do what they want.
An algorithm is by definition a method, a sequence of instructions that one can describe with formal language. The problem is not the method, it's: (1) what are we optimizing for (e.g a social network is optimizing for retention and ad revenue) ; (2) the transparency of the decision process (if an algorithm is open-source, one can analyze its ethics and possible bias) ; (3) the problem of explainability of Machine Learning. Bias can exist in models because it's hard to detect it if you can never fully explain the decision process. The law is very slow and tech is moving so fast, it's really up to the tech companies to regulate AI at this point, but how in the current system would we expect them to optimize for anything else than profit?
The main problem with algorithms for me is on social media. The way they keep you hooked and activate your reward system is very ingenious. And with that, access to user data for advertisers comes as a gift given by algorithms
It’s not bad yet bc the algorithm recommends us content made by humans Once it shows us content made by the Algorithm it will be more accurate bc it will make a post or video about exactly what u want instead of looking for a human post that is super close to it

IF algorithms and people that programmed it are wise and caring enough, they should show 'things' that can influence people to become a better person and make them avoid crime
You can't avoid crime. That's not how it works. The people in power want you to believe otherwise. Follow their "rules" instead of making your own decisions. Be a "good" person. Keep your head down. Live in fear when law dares to pretend it's not spreading terror when it does. It's all hypocritical. Did you know cops are trained to use FAKE evidence? Says something about the court case here then. Learn to be a honest monster. It's the only way to challenge the monsters back. The real monsters are those hiding behind their position of power and abusing it. The "good moral people" let it happen. Allow it. Make excuses to not challenge it because of their fear of conflict. I call those people cowards. Which is also most people. At least until they learn to be braver. Can't be everywhere at once though. It's going to take a drastic shift in power to counter those in power. It will get abused either way, but one is more honest then the other. Pick your poison.
I was about to rant on the UA-cam algorithm. I like to watch elevated metro videos to see the skylines of various cities around the world. UA-cam thinks I like trains. But this is far more serious than I realized! Edit: Come to think of it, I had a dentist doing a filling on me. He informed me at the end of the procedure (I was obviously conscious throughout) that he decided something for me. "Most people want it this way," was his reasoning. He didn't even ask me. He just made the decision for me, based on what's most common. This is why WebMD thinks everything is cancer.
another great video, recently got back into your content since youtube didn't recommend it to me for a while, still the same great channel, glad to see it
Aperture must abuse the algorithm by using clever and deceptive techniques to trick people into watching their videos. That's the only logical reason why I can't help but watch all their videos.
When i had my awakening last year I wasn’t ready to see the almost complete massacre of humanity… this video explains what i am seeing. even myself i was and have let it destroy parts of my humanity have been working on that since waking up from a delirium of nihilism. I would point out the “zero fucks to give” mentality was the beginning of the end imo idk what to do with that thought though.
The algorithm suggested this video to me after I simply discussed the Instagram algorithm today in a real-life in- person conversation without either of us researching algorithms online.
To make the changes necessary, requires a hard socialist turn and a level of transparency, never before seen. The capitalist system must be replaced. In my mind that is the only way to make the changes needed. Profits are a function of the capitalism and are glued tightly to every social system, function, commerce transactions that happen under it's spheres of influence.. it's impossible to have capitalism without profits driving constant expansion and growth of any entity in the system. it is an functional imperative one might say. The whole fabric of our western society and culture is sustained only to suck our resources away from us.. it will take generations to undo the damage that capitalism has caused. It will take generations for ppl to dissociate the concept of "buying." And forget what it means.. algorithms are being created to facilitate more commerce and compile data on everyone so that the algorithm has become decent at showing content and consumables which will drive more capitalism and entrenching it further, or perhaps cemented, into increasingly more complex layers of digital interaction.
It gives me options then, great. Isn't that the point to shop for more and more? Nothing about society is to be trusted; meaning the human algorithm (rumors, gossip, drama)
the real question is how much have machines taken over our lives and how far automation should go. It isn't a big step to imagine the police, courts and penal system entirely automated, with all the legal cases in the world making up the dataset. You could have 2 machines argue it out just for fun but it seems likely algos will process physical people if they don't already.
Regarding COMPAS only - I’m shocked that some lawyer hasn’t argued this. An algorithm is not a ‘peer’. The Judge was supposed to review, and didn’t do his job. I can’t imagine this would hold up in higher court.
Hear me out on this one: My algorithmic brain tells me that Aperture saw his UA-cam algorithm is making his videos about media consumption do well in our UA-cam algorithms. And since videos about how "bad" media consumption is do well - that means that the algorithm is trying to warn us about "it" and working against itself to show us videos of why itself is "bad" for all of us. Is this a warning from the algorithm itself?🤯 So the plot here seems to be that either the algorithm is becoming self conscious and is trying to communicate - or I’m just not making any sense.
I agree with the most of it but for real, no one ever has talked about willpower. Its not as if anyone has a gun to their heads and they are making you watch that youtube video or scroll through Instagram. Only if we can recenter our thoughts, align more with ourselves slowly. These things wont matter. I agree with the shortening attention span of masses but for real the issue isn't only the algorithm and people need to fix themselves first rather than hoping that corporations will somehow change their morale compass and put human welfare first. In a perfect world, it surely is that way but we are far from it at least right now.
Algorithm either good for people, or worst for the people... Like smartphone, if the person is smart, its a smartphone. If the person is stupid, using smartphone will make the person lost, or stupider...
Luckily, I cook all my own meals, have no social media accounts, don't text friends because I don't have any, rarely visit websites, don't watch many movies, don't use dating apps, don't go to the doctor, and keep my location turned off at all times. Wow...I'm sad now. Guess you have to decide whether you want to be in the system and under its control, or detached from it and alone.
what happened to the times where government thinks "it is admissible to let go of 100 criminals to save 1 innocent? Now it became to " this person might commit to a crime. let's ruim their life"??
Remember. The more dáta you put into an algorithm doesn't make it better. It just makes it more weighted and biased to that data. Not all input is good or valid into a system it leads to biases as this video talks about
Algorithms are a tool. Like any tool they can be used or misused. If they are destroying anything it's because we are allowing their misuse. If an algorithm is keeping you online longer than you should be, you need to develop the will power to turn it off then walk away. The longer you engage in one activity, the more you fail in another. Ask yourself which is more important. Viewing another cat video or getting some exercise, your laundry done, etc.
It's not algorithms that are the most severe threats here. It's the companies behind them. We live in a class based society. There's an owner class that posesses the workplaces, coorporations, companies and the most wealth, the politician class right under that, doing everything to get some breadcrumbs from above, while lying to the people below, followed by regular workers and consumers, who keep the system running, and lastly, poor or unemployed people. This is a fundamental issue with how our model of economy structures society. In such an environment, it is highly unlikely that there will ever be enough control, oversight, transparency or accountability for entities of the topmost class to guarantee that they won't misuse their privileges and position (i.e. look at the lack of workers' rights in the U.S. or how humanity wrecked nature). When considering that they consolidate into even bigger entities and try to ever increase their influence on regular people's lifes, i.e. via Amazon now also providing food and medicine or Google and Meta being a de-facto duopoly when it comes to cross-website user tracking, data collection and serving ads, we're on our best way to getting told what to think, what to know, which news to read, which stuff to buy, whom to vote, what is "right" and what is "wrong" by a very small circle of people, because it can aqquire the data that allows them to do so. Algorithms are a mere tool to make it easier to accomplish whichever purpose, they're neither good, nor evil. The real issue stems from regular people not having a say in how they should, or shouldn't be used, because they are not in a position to do so anymore. Let's just say that capitalism needs some reforms at best, or a completely different successor at worst.

yea fam everybody must do that to stay sane in our society
You can be real online. Just don't make the mistake of pretending you can "escape". Take it seriously. Be a skeptic.
I keep it real online. If people don't like it, tough. Real people. Real thoughts. Real feelings. Real concerns. Simple as that.
Keep in mind that the reason you want to 'limit' your usage instead of obliterating your usage might be that you're a bit addicted

I think what's scariest is algorithms that are made to predict human behavior because they can't be defeated even if your aware of the problem.
@@GIwillo Until they get enough data on outliers to predict even the most unlikely scenarios based on the tiniest scrap of information.
It is not going to be difficult to build an AI that possesses what amounts to foresight or precognition. It just parses trillions of possibilities per second, and spits out a chart of what you are most likely to do/like.
There is only one way an algorithm can predict humans 100%, and that is if the humans in questions are mere data sets themselves.
@@Pfromm007 We are data sets. Our existence is already based off precoded genetics so the only variable among us is experience. Once the algorithm knows what you like, where you go and what you do, it’s over. We aren’t that complicated.

@@iainballas There's this called survivor bias, take the law algorithm at the start, the data set might only contains the people who did the crime with specific patterns in their life, but not the people who didn't do the crime with the same specific patterns in their life, sometimes the amount of people who didn't do the crime but still retains the patterns are more than the ones who did the crime, Although I might be wrong, and we are soon doomed to succumb to the great algorithm with no hope of freedom or meaning for life.

Before, it was just random pictures of the people you were friends with, and people writing on each other's walls.

little long comment :
Yes you are right because if you search for dieting , or get thin content , you will get more of those recommended and if someone is a social media addict they might be afraid of eating tasty food or find it disgust to eat tasty food because of fear of getting fat ; but these things are now reduced. [ while reducing unheahty food is good , sometime it can have a negetive impact , I once had a time in my life I hated all food except the very healthy ones , like carrots and water , not even rice or such in diets but I went away from that quickly-things like this affect only people who feel more need to do these stuff , if you want to reduce your weight quickly you might do this even if it's risky. Same for looks or any kind of life progress sometimes. It's great to be aware of all of these stuff and diet in a "healthy way " etc ]
Same with violent content. The more controversial videos or post we see , the more of those we get recommended. So that's very crucial to be ware of all these possible rabbit holes. I had many experience on this even if I knew but later I forgot as I kept clicking through posts or videos. It's easy to get recommend rage bait news as we keep scrolling news sites too . I have read more nasty crimes news than some good news in a sitting on my new reading time periods.
Right! Its about what you watch and being incontrol and aware
You will be surprised, the algorithm seems to use your conversation in your other social media or messages these days, something dangerous is up.
As stupid as the YT algorithm is right now, I don't have any fears. Heck, I have subscribed over 300 channels and most of the time, the recommendations still suck.
Brilliant algoritms spend most of the time pretending to be stupid
UA-cams algorithm is trash. They don't try to show you whatever **you** want, it's whatever youtube known will keep you on their site.
I use UA-cam music and have 6k songs liked, and the algorithm still refuses to show me new songs. It's scared I might not like the recommendations and leave the app.. I hate it so much.
Dopamine reward is ideally given at random intervals.
They could give you the best things you’d like to watch immediately.
But the time in between creates zombie scrolling as we crave another dopamine hit.
They optimize for the most time on the platform.
I started getting piano ads on Instagram and different news sites, I have never searched up anything regarding pianos in recent times, I just play it sometimes. A couple of weeks ago me and a friend were having a conversation about clothing styles, normal phone conversation not texts, and boom, ads from clothing companies, and specifically the types of clothes(trousers in this case) we were talking about. It's getting creepier by the day. We worry about surveillance and government agencies, but we are the ones walking around with a surveillance device in our pockets, where our personal and financial information are stored.
Even the CREATORS don’t even know how the hell their algorithms work
and we HATE to TEST our code
Nor do they care.
Which is exactly why it's false evidence. Evidence that was used to imprison someone under the delusion that the evidence is concrete when it's not.
That's got to be ground for fraud.

Reddit is pretty valuable when you find a good subreddit. Sometimes I just browse 'new' and see what people are posting, which keeps me up with the community and isn't something recommended to me. It was simply what someone posted recently.
And even still, the posts you see in 'hot,' 'top,' or 'controversial' are there because that community voted them to their spot, not because an algorithm placed them there.
But youtube on the otherhand, you can just mindlessly scroll and scroll, randomly seeing all sorts of shit you had no desire to look for.
@@TheCloud785 reddit is worthless
I remembered years ago my family and I were suddenly talking about peppers and few minutes later, I was bombarded with ads and articles about peppers on Facebook. No matter how private or secret you are, even when you're using adblock or something, the algorithm will always find a way to get your information.
When the algorithm recommends a video that shames itself

The radicalizing effect of videos and the conformation bias caused by the algorithms is something I've been thinking a lot about lately and am so stoked that there are creators like you bringing awareness to this! We have so much information at our fingertips yet it's so easy to lose perspective
the fact that no one is talking about how the algo picks which race to help more is crazy.
What
This is pretty terrifying. The sentencing scene in Andor doesn’t seem so over the top now.
One day, we will all sit like the people on Axiom in the Wall-e movie.
I wish it were that easy. I have to actively fight the algorithm to reach the content I want to find. Is it that the internet is radicalizing us or offering a broader diversity of information we never had access to. At what point is someone considered radical and to who? Are we becoming radicalized or has the term become devalued passed the point of it's intended use?
In all fairness, these suggestion algorithms suck completely. They never manage to actually give me information I am interested in, they are basically based on past searches. At least the social media algorithms are mediocre at best, no threat at all (at least for people with sufficient intelligence). Basing legal actions on an algorithm is something completely different, however. That is terrifying, as algorithms basically suck, I would not ever want them to decide on my faith.
The thing is they're designed to suck slightly. If they kept recommending you good content you'd be satisfied after a few searches or views. Instead, they intentionally mispredict say 9 in 10 times (not an actual statistic btw, just trying to illustrate how it works) just so that on the 10th recommendation you find something that is remotely enjoyable to you. It's exactly like a slot machine, keep scrolling for the possibility that you'll find something good.
@@elosant2061 Yea, that makes much more sense.
The evidence isn't even known and fully understood because the people don't even know how it works. Not to mention it's under the pretence of "Might do a crime later". Which is not charging for a crime that WAS commited. But one that WASN'T.
That's evidence that isn't even fully understood (making the evidence faulty) AND putting somone in jail for crimes NOT commited. That is unjust to the extreme. Even professional thrapists can't agree on what generalized nonsense they have to agree with. There are people that have seen them for over a decade without getting the help they need. Because, frankly, weekly aapointments is not consistent enough communication. And people expect us to believe some Ai that's been made by flawed people that don't understand enough? That's not only used to accuse people, but is also kept "secret" about how it works? I want to point out that it's a suspects legal right to view any evidence used against them. It's their LEGAL right. Which means the people using the evidence going "It's a secret about how it works" are employing FAKE evidence. Which cops are even trained to do because it's not illegal for them to do it. So perhaps the same can be true for the judge too. The ONLY way to catch on to that bullshit is to drag the evidence for all to see and examine and point out why it's flawed or false.
I already view prisons as counter productive. Except perhaps in Denmark. U.S prisons are designed to make money from full cells. It's all about greed. That's the real reason. I say sue the judge for daring to use that so called "evidence" which is untested and in "beta" if not in "alpha". Get the case reexamined because of crimes NOT commited. This is basically fraud. Why should someone be in prison for things they haven't done? it's called innocent until proven guilty. Not the other way around. While I take issue with the law, the gripe here is with the deciet, ignorance and delusion. The dishonesty. Aren't court rooms meant to represent honesty and truth? But only what the people in power want to see as the truth, right? If this is left unchallenged then AI could become more common place for court trials. Which is why I think it's important to challenge this court case. Which clearly has evidence where there's room for doubt. Which means the evidence may not (and most likely does not) add up.
Leave it unchallenged, let it happen, and it could be someone you know that gets locked up by AI in the future. Keep that in mind.
Reminds me of how I find myself constantly wresting with google's algorithms. They really, really, really, REALLY want to cater to my most smooth brained impulses:
"What's that? This dude watched a couple of Neuro-sama clips? He will definitely appreciate a torrent of vaguely lewd v-tuber clips."
"Oh look! He watched a bunch of vapid meme videos! He definitely want's a lot more of those. Like, A LOT MORE!"
"Hmm, he was curious what some nerd had to say about a piece of media. He absolutely want's to know what ALL the other nerds have to say about the exact same thing."
It's gotten to the point that the only method I have for keeping my recommendations from becoming 95% cancer is to only ever open stupid shit in private mode, so as to not taint my official history and give the algorithms any ideas. For some reason I feel like they have gotten exceptionally sensitive to vapid topics as of late. Or perhaps my will has just eroded, and I klick on way more stupid shit than I used to. Either way, This private mode dance has become a necessity to preserve my sanity.
If anyone among us played Genshin Impact, you guys must've know the Akasha terminal systems which are predicting every user's next moves, much like how these algorithms function. Humans are unpredictable indeed, but AI is also trying to predict our thoughts, likes and dislikes. If it masters human logic and emotions, it is a scary thought to behold.
bruh lately ive been thinking how much the sumeru story was actually really scarily close to what real life is like. isnt akasha just like google, where we have all the info available and we believe whatever google tells us blindly without questioning it? and like u said, it can predict people just like algorithms. this game also comes from china, who is well known to be really good at surveillance of people. its all a little crazy huh
@@mimikyu_ at long last...i never expected a reply from my comment. Gamers like us understand what's actually behind the scenes are. It's alarmingly scary.

A powerful and poignant ending to a well thought-out video. It's honestly terrifying how much we are controlled by mindless lines of code and how much our psyche is changed by our interactions with apps and computer systems.

Coming from someone who searches a wide variety of interests that scale differently compared to each other, my UA-cam recommendations are out of wack an suggest already watched videos mostly rather than like minded videos. I believe that it cannot pin point what I'd like due to it's confusion. But that's what reddit is for when I am looking for more channels than what i already consume.
That what you believe, I bet $1,000,000 it know what you want to watch and your hobbies as you display patterns over time. I get recommended the same videos from time to time but don't try and make it seem like you're Neo. You're not special to any algorithm

Yes they are stupid
No matter what happens, humans must make final decisions, using algorithms to provide input and analysis. Do not let the machines take over.
Most of these videos is just me sitting there nodding along, but looking into the comments always just surprises me with the amount of people who never pieced it together in this way, these videos are often just what I would make if I had more skill, time, and energy. Anyway props and please keep making videos.
Okay?
Maybe you should stop watching UA-cam videos for a week, it’ll change some of your thoughts

@@ApertureThinking I hope you'd consider adding the collective unconscious theory and the collective shadow by jung in an upcoming project its really quite an interesting thing .
Algorithms aren't a new concept, they've been around for a long long time. It's just transferred from humans adding up the data to computers.. Questionnaires, surveys, and things of that nature are Algorithms and have been used for a long time and so on.
this is it on another scale, i know you are trying to say this is trivial but algorithms have never brainwashed, polarize, and intentionally change and manipulate your behavior for profit, until smartphones came out in 2007., then social media becoming popular in 2012, then creating unseen amount of mental illness, more than ever in history.
@LP-kw3kj I guess the best way to respond is by hopefully explaining it in 2 parts. Part A and Part B to mainly try making it easier on me.. thus A is about algorithms and profit, Part b mental health.
A. I'll start with my initial point of manipulation of people for profit is again, not a new concept. It's called Advertising, and just how the concept of currency exchanges for goods replaced the barter system. Algorithmic ways of promotion replaced word of mouth, at an effective manner for hundreds of years, twas basically inevitable.
The concept has remained the exact same since the printing press, only the means of distribution has changed. Newspapers were like the 1700s/1800s equivalent of a smartphone as it connected humans in a revolutionary way like smartphones. Thus continued its progress to radio, then TV, and so on. Because conditioning people isn't anything new.
Part B. The mental health side of it, to me, stems simply from the greatest trick we've played on ourselves. That being we actually have free will, which sure sounds like a great concept if it were true. But really, choice is just a coping mechanism conjured by the ego. As a way to consciously accept existence. But inturn is the very reason why anxiety, depression and so on are a thing. Thus there's always been the same amount of mental health issues, the idea it's increasing and worse than ever because of social media or what not is dumb.
It's only seems that way because it's only been a focused topic recently, and trying to understand and educate the importance of doing so.. I mean it wouldn't be as much of an issue if we were to either give lobotomies or lock them up in a padded prison like we used too
It’s not the technology itself that’s bad, it’s the people who choose to use it for nefarious gains and control.

An algorithm is by definition a method, a sequence of instructions that one can describe with formal language. The problem is not the method, it's:
(1) what are we optimizing for (e.g a social network is optimizing for retention and ad revenue) ;
(2) the transparency of the decision process (if an algorithm is open-source, one can analyze its ethics and possible bias) ;
(3) the problem of explainability of Machine Learning. Bias can exist in models because it's hard to detect it if you can never fully explain the decision process.
The law is very slow and tech is moving so fast, it's really up to the tech companies to regulate AI at this point, but how in the current system would we expect them to optimize for anything else than profit?
Thanks for the existential dread about technology!
it's gotten to the point where we need to address how toxic technology can be.
Great video. Content like this moves humanity forward in the right direction. Keep up the good work
In Bo burnham’s words:
“Take a deep breath and, give up. The system is rigged against you!”
What good would that do you?
The main problem with algorithms for me is on social media. The way they keep you hooked and activate your reward system is very ingenious. And with that, access to user data for advertisers comes as a gift given by algorithms
It’s not bad yet bc the algorithm recommends us content made by humans
Once it shows us content made by the Algorithm it will be more accurate bc it will make a post or video about exactly what u want instead of looking for a human post that is super close to it
That ad and the delivery was so relatable to the video it didnt even feel like an ad.
Im going to like this video.

IF algorithms and people that programmed it are wise and caring enough, they should show 'things' that can influence people to become a better person and make them avoid crime
You can't avoid crime. That's not how it works.
The people in power want you to believe otherwise. Follow their "rules" instead of making your own decisions. Be a "good" person. Keep your head down. Live in fear when law dares to pretend it's not spreading terror when it does. It's all hypocritical. Did you know cops are trained to use FAKE evidence? Says something about the court case here then.
Learn to be a honest monster. It's the only way to challenge the monsters back. The real monsters are those hiding behind their position of power and abusing it. The "good moral people" let it happen. Allow it. Make excuses to not challenge it because of their fear of conflict. I call those people cowards. Which is also most people. At least until they learn to be braver. Can't be everywhere at once though. It's going to take a drastic shift in power to counter those in power. It will get abused either way, but one is more honest then the other. Pick your poison.
but that is subjective. what is things that can make you a better person? hell, what even is a good person?
If an entity can accurately predict a person or groups behavior, it can then provide the catalyst to spark behavior.
I was about to rant on the UA-cam algorithm. I like to watch elevated metro videos to see the skylines of various cities around the world. UA-cam thinks I like trains. But this is far more serious than I realized! Edit: Come to think of it, I had a dentist doing a filling on me. He informed me at the end of the procedure (I was obviously conscious throughout) that he decided something for me. "Most people want it this way," was his reasoning. He didn't even ask me. He just made the decision for me, based on what's most common. This is why WebMD thinks everything is cancer.
Dentist did what? Theres no issue with a filling

Profits are a function of the capitalism and are glued tightly to every social system, function, commerce transactions that happen under it's spheres of influence.. it's impossible to have capitalism without profits driving constant expansion and growth of any entity in the system. it is an functional imperative one might say. The whole fabric of our western society and culture is sustained only to suck our resources away from us.. it will take generations to undo the damage that capitalism has caused. It will take generations for ppl to dissociate the concept of "buying." And forget what it means.. algorithms are being created to facilitate more commerce and compile data on everyone so that the algorithm has become decent at showing content and consumables which will drive more capitalism and entrenching it further, or perhaps cemented, into increasingly more complex layers of digital interaction.
It gives me options then, great. Isn't that the point to shop for more and more? Nothing about society is to be trusted; meaning the human algorithm (rumors, gossip, drama)
I hope you don't get cancelled by algorithm.
the real question is how much have machines taken over our lives and how far automation should go. It isn't a big step to imagine the police, courts and penal system entirely automated, with all the legal cases in the world making up the dataset. You could have 2 machines argue it out just for fun but it seems likely algos will process physical people if they don't already.
Regarding COMPAS only - I’m shocked that some lawyer hasn’t argued this. An algorithm is not a ‘peer’. The Judge was supposed to review, and didn’t do his job. I can’t imagine this would hold up in higher court.

Jim Morrison once famously said, “Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.”
I was just thinking about algorithm in mind ….and I never spoke about this…and at the next moment…my mother’s phone showed me this video!!! How???
Hear me out on this one: My algorithmic brain tells me that Aperture saw his UA-cam algorithm is making his videos about media consumption do well in our UA-cam algorithms. And since videos about how "bad" media consumption is do well - that means that the algorithm is trying to warn us about "it" and working against itself to show us videos of why itself is "bad" for all of us.
Is this a warning from the algorithm itself?🤯
So the plot here seems to be that either the algorithm is becoming self conscious and is trying to communicate - or I’m just not making any sense.
both :D,
becoming self conscious, trying to communicate
and
not making any sense
@@degg6069 So just like people then.
The most eerie thing is this information solely purposed for marketing Incogni, so Aperture can take his paycheck
I'm sad that AI already seems to be used badly.
Like a knife you can do many things. Killing and cooking banger meals are 2 of thoses.
This has to be one of my favorite UA-cam channels. The quality is great and talking points are soooo good
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, they are the harsh truth&reality.
upgrade or downgrade ..this is the question we should ask and give answers at every turn from now on for each technological advancement.
I agree with the most of it but for real, no one ever has talked about willpower. Its not as if anyone has a gun to their heads and they are making you watch that youtube video or scroll through Instagram. Only if we can recenter our thoughts, align more with ourselves slowly. These things wont matter. I agree with the shortening attention span of masses but for real the issue isn't only the algorithm and people need to fix themselves first rather than hoping that corporations will somehow change their morale compass and put human welfare first. In a perfect world, it surely is that way but we are far from it at least right now.
Algorithm either good for people, or worst for the people...
Like smartphone, if the person is smart, its a smartphone. If the person is stupid, using smartphone will make the person lost, or stupider...
Profit isn't always monetary, power and control is also desired.
Luckily, I cook all my own meals, have no social media accounts, don't text friends because I don't have any, rarely visit websites, don't watch many movies, don't use dating apps, don't go to the doctor, and keep my location turned off at all times. Wow...I'm sad now. Guess you have to decide whether you want to be in the system and under its control, or detached from it and alone.
what happened to the times where government thinks "it is admissible to let go of 100 criminals to save 1 innocent?
Now it became to " this person might commit to a crime. let's ruim their life"??
Remember. The more dáta you put into an algorithm doesn't make it better. It just makes it more weighted and biased to that data. Not all input is good or valid into a system it leads to biases as this video talks about
Algorithms are a tool. Like any tool they can be used or misused. If they are destroying anything it's because we are allowing their misuse. If an algorithm is keeping you online longer than you should be, you need to develop the will power to turn it off then walk away. The longer you engage in one activity, the more you fail in another. Ask yourself which is more important. Viewing another cat video or getting some exercise, your laundry done, etc.
It's not algorithms that are the most severe threats here. It's the companies behind them. We live in a class based society. There's an owner class that posesses the workplaces, coorporations, companies and the most wealth, the politician class right under that, doing everything to get some breadcrumbs from above, while lying to the people below, followed by regular workers and consumers, who keep the system running, and lastly, poor or unemployed people. This is a fundamental issue with how our model of economy structures society.
In such an environment, it is highly unlikely that there will ever be enough control, oversight, transparency or accountability for entities of the topmost class to guarantee that they won't misuse their privileges and position (i.e. look at the lack of workers' rights in the U.S. or how humanity wrecked nature).
When considering that they consolidate into even bigger entities and try to ever increase their influence on regular people's lifes, i.e. via Amazon now also providing food and medicine or Google and Meta being a de-facto duopoly when it comes to cross-website user tracking, data collection and serving ads, we're on our best way to getting told what to think, what to know, which news to read, which stuff to buy, whom to vote, what is "right" and what is "wrong" by a very small circle of people, because it can aqquire the data that allows them to do so.
Algorithms are a mere tool to make it easier to accomplish whichever purpose, they're neither good, nor evil. The real issue stems from regular people not having a say in how they should, or shouldn't be used, because they are not in a position to do so anymore. Let's just say that capitalism needs some reforms at best, or a completely different successor at worst.
The first 45 seconds of this video about COMPAS actually made me exclaim, mouth agape, "WHAT?!...WHAT?!" Totally horrifying.
Ad Blockers Always! Never see ads on UA-cam again!
02:51 is showing "Frazier". How I wish "Frazier" was on Netflix in the UK. Sadly it's not.
Subscribed!!!
Once we take humans out of the loop we are finished.
When the algorithm knows My UA-cam addiction
"for the love of money is the root of all evil"
Unfortunately, the algorithm won't show this video to anyone who actually NEEDS to see it.
