Welcome to the show

Apparently YouTube has deleted oodles of AI-slop channels but to be honest, it's like a drop in the ocean.

I'm just totally over the endless stream of AI-created "slopumentaries" that now fill the pages of YouTube and which consist of nothing more than an AI-created script which is narrated by an AI voice and presents little more than a slideshow of still images and fragments of video footage all scraped from the Net or from stock footage purveyors.

Utter dross -- but you probably won't realise that until *after* you've sat through the two 15-second unskippable ads on your desktop or the 30+ seconds of unskippable advertising if you're watching on the livingroom TV set.

When I queried AI it said that not all AI slop videos would be deleted because those which performed well were left up so as to generate revenues for the creator and YouTube itself.

Yeah, that claim by YT that it was dealing to AI-slop... as disingenuous as ever.

So I have a plan...

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
