    As I understood the ad will be a part of the actual video file you receive but, unlike fixed sponsor integrations, the time it’s shown at will change every time. That is going to be impossible to get rid of without AI unless there are some exploits

      I doubt it’ll be impossible as Google will be required by many laws around the world to make it clear if something is an advert, especially in the EU. So there will be a mechanism to know if something in the stream is an advert or not.

      Adblockers should be able to adapt but I do think SponsorBlock might be stuffed if users are seeing adverts at different times in the stream.

        My guess is that this new mechanism is disadvantageous for analytics

      They will also want to block people from skipping the ad. So they’ll have to provide timestamps, when skipping should be blocked. Maybe those can be somehow extracted.

        That’s a pretty good idea. As soon as skipping is disabled, start skipping. And stop skipping when you’re allowed to skip again.

      I guess thats what we will have to do. The cats catching up but the mouse will continue to inovate.

          Whata ur problem with ai? I dont get the hatred. We need good foss models otherwise proprietary crap wins.

            Energy efficiency, enforcement and hallucinations

              Energy usage isnt bad its literally what makes shit happen. Hallucinations yeah but its getting better, what does enforcement mean?

                Energy usage of AI models is at least 100x higher than other ways of doing most of the tasks (such as calculations and searches), hallucinations will never disappear and enforcement means inability to disable the AI or use most of the features with it being disabled

                  I’d argue its a tradeoff for efficiency. Hallucinations are getting better its already better than the average human especially with tool use, self checking and chain of thought. And the whole enforcement thing I’ve never had that issue sounds like something is only run into on proprietary software and well thats a cluster fuck anyways.

                    Well if the AI is optional and isn’t the only preinstalled way of doing a certain task, I don’t mind it. Efficiency is still much worse though
