Google should invent reverse video search, I tried to find the original of this but wound up uploading it myself, surely the YouTube database could find other copies of it for you?

I don't know where else to post this, it's not really "funny" but it's interesting and random



youtube infinite money glitch:

- talk to actual publisher, like a board game company, say "hey let's do a CPM deal, I will do an ad read for your company or product, and you pay me $10 for every 1000 views the video gets" and the company says ok sure

- you then use youtube's internal systems to BUY ads, and make that actual video an ad, an hour long unskippable ad which annoys everyone and they click off of it immediately

- but the video still got views for the purposes of the CPM deal

- presumably you spent less paying youtube to make it an ad than you got from the deal with the company so you profit

A Potentially Infinite Number of AI Homer Simpson ‘Cover Songs’ Have ‘Poisoned’ Soulseek

A huge and peculiar catalog of edited songs is circulating on popular music-sharing platform Soulseek. Unbeknownst to the people busily downloading them, all of the tracks have had their original vocals stripped out and replaced with the dulcet tones of Homer Simpson.

People tend to use Soulseek to download rare, underground, and independent music directly from other users’ shared folders. 

An as-yet-unidentified online prankster has used AI to recreate the yellow dad’s voice and then generate what currently appears to be well over 2,000 Homer “covers.” However, the track titles, artist names, and metadata for the entire collection is unchanged, so it’s impossible to tell that they aren’t the original songs before downloading and listening to them.

This means that music fans on the peer-to-peer program will have unwittingly wound up with a hard drive full of dubstep, dancehall, hip-hop, and musique concrète tracks with Homer singing, rapping, and grunting over the top. When you consider how this material might be used—at the pinnacle of a DJ set, say, or as part of a funeral or hook-up playlist—it becomes clear that the potential ramifications for mankind are enormous.

I can't believe the first time I saw this I never thought of the potential ramifications for mankind
