Welcome! The only thing I can think of on the intersection of AI and photography (besides IG filters) is this weird "camera", which uses AI to turn a little bit of geographical information to create images. Do you know of any other interesting intersections?

IIUC, those are just bots who copy early and liked comments. So my comment would also be copied by other bots.

They are mostly like “wow, what a great [particular detail in the video]”. Sometimes it’s a joke I thought of.

1. Not much right now. I usually just write the first thing that comes to mind. But I think I can train myself to write comments with a specific message or intended effect. What I need is to understand which effect might be useful.
2. I’m not sure, I don’t have statistics on that, and I would assume information like this is kept secret.
3. I definitely remember authors responding to correctional comments by changing the description, pinning comments, and making clarification videos.

I have a weird ability. Can you help me find a use for it?

If I see a YouTube video pop up in my feed right after it’s published, I can often come up with a comment that gets a lot of likes and ends up near the top of the comment section.^[1] It’s actually not that hard to do: the hardest part is being quick enough^[2] to get into the first 10-30 comments (which I assume is the average number of comments viewers glance over), but the comment itself might be pretty generic and not that relevant to the video’s content.

Do you know a way I could use that? You can suggest advice for achieving convergent instrumental goals, usual human goals, and (most importantly) AI x-risk reduction. If you think I’m hyper-online or delusional about this, you can also point it out.

1. ^{^}

   I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually not that hard and my success is just a consequence of being hyper-online.

2. ^{^}

   I also suspect that the YouTube algorithm might have learned about this ability of mine and has now categorized me as a “top commenter,” so it shows me videos earlier than others and uses me to “boost engagement” or smth.

The post "Butterfly Ideas" seems relevant.

Great job! I wish you good luck in your endeavors.

If the future contains far more people than we have today, and if people are going to have their memory upgraded, and if the information about us on the internet is going to be preserved, then each person alive today is going to be kind of a celebrity.

It’s as if our civilization started with 10 people and they recorded every second of their lives: we would know almost everything about them. People would read their quotes, live by their wisdom, and create cults around them.

but there’s no similar fundamental reason that cognitive oversight

This might not be a similar reason, but there is a fundamental reason described in Deep Deceptiveness

I'm not even aware about of half of this...

I would suggest inserting links for people like me.
