      I really like that despite this being an AI podcast, you really allow the conversation to go where it will be most interesting for the guest, and consequently the listener. Michael isn't a name I associate first with AI, but if anything that only made this a more interesting conversation as you guys wandered through a vast array of topics.

      What if we put a micro chip in our brains to evaluate free will "do's and don't's," in order to deduce common neural networks between men and women who choose to "break the rules." Or, are genetics a big part of why most "good intentioned" people tend to try to follow rules/laws? Consciousness, to me, is either making decisions, based on one's learned experiences, or using other's "flaws" to take advantage of them (the vulnerable species) and/or to gain an advantage for future motives. Suffering does not need to happen, when everyone, globally, are on the "same page," related to everyone's basic needs being met.

    met michael at a party in london in 2011. Such a nice guy. He’s exactly like he is in his videos. Smart, inquisitive, creative, funny. After the party we chased subways, and caught cabs in the wee hours, all the while.. discussing weird science facts. A night I will never forget

If we go about looking at exposure to public eye, how well known he is, underrated or overrated, is in his own hands because of the way media is nowadays, you cannot avoid getting popularity and exposure, provided you are working on it. On the other hand, in raw numbers, that dude has one of the largest followings on youtube. Every channel he has, is well past 1.000.000 active subscribers. If that's underrated, then...what the fuck isn't?

    I can totally understand the anthropomorphism of inanimate objects. When I was a little kid my mother used to tell me that the food on my plate would feel bad if I didn't eat it. I always fell for it and managed to get most of it down somehow. As an adult who is an electronics technician and designer, if a device is broken I feel bad unless I can get it working. If I can't revive it to it's original working condition, I am like a doctor who lost a patient. I'm am screwed due to my parents use of what appeared to be harmless psychology. I anthropomorphize everything. I am surrounded by inanimate objects that aren't inanimate. It is kind of hilarious, even to me. The world needs more people like Michael and Lex.

    One flat-Earther idea I heard turned out to be pretty good.
    They claimed the reason you see different stars at different locations is because stars aren't real, they're just a spherical projection which is unique to each person depending on time and where they are.
    The idea is ridiculous from a scientific perspective but as a crappy game dev I love it. Creating a flat world with a spherical skymap which rotates based on where you are would be far easier to implement than a spherical world map.

    I want more diversity from the algorithm. I feel I always watch the same thing over and over, and that reinforces my stupid irationnal beliefs. I don't want to get that freaking video I watched 5 times already recommended again.
    I want the algorithm to recommend things that are going to give me ideas I have never had before. I want to watch a video if it has been made with love. I don't like watching videos that have been made to bring my interest. I love videos in which people who are interested in something share it with the world.
    That's what I want in my "recommanded section". And yet I get cat videos, anime clips, "woah check this out!" clickbaits and "the truth about blackholes" revelations. Why youtube oh why have you changed your algorithm. It was okay before...

      The Current algoritm for us as consumers doesnt work. but for them it works because it gives them "insight" on what people watch or what they dont. I've found it very hard to find the content I used to and if I was one particular video, Im bombarded with shit. its all clickbait desperate for views and suscribors and most of these videos have more paid sponsorships selling stuff rather than actual intellectual content.

      @@tommymaher4166 I call it hitting the wall, the algorithm boxes you and will only shows videos from small portion of our viewing habits, I hate it cause I'm more complex than the algorithm gives me credit for

      RUclips has to make an option for the users to which algorithm they prefer. Like, users can choose between old algorithm or new algorithm.

      @Plads Elsker I had this exact problem for years. For the past couple of months, I have been actively tuning my recommended section. So far, I found three things to be the most effective:
      1. Tell RUclips directly
      For example, clicking on the three dots on every video I don't want to see, and hit "Not interested." A very powerful strategy is to go to your homepage, find videos you don't like, and click "Don't recommend channel." Then, refresh the page and repeat until there are no more cat videos or click-bait titles.
      2. Unique and specific search
      A simple way to get diverse videos is to search up extremely specific keywords that you normally wouldn't. For example, looking up artificial intelligence will get you the latest hype. But searching "Deep Q-Network" will lead you to someone who is more knowledgeable and often more passionate.
      Now, in defense of the RUclips algorithm, it's just trying to get you to watch for as long as possible. So it will recommend videos that have lots of views and videos similar to your viewing history.
      3. Vote with clicks and watch time
      Clicking on cat videos will lead to more cat videos. Avoiding clicking on clickbate videos all together or at least watch it incognito.
      Actively refuse to watch videos that are "made to bring [your] interest." Within 2 weeks, your feed will be full of variety.
      4. Train with playlists
      If you're really serious about training the algorithm. Ask a friend who tends to watch different videos than you to give you a link to their playlist (or search for one yourself), play that in the background on mute to add more diversity to your recommended videos.
      I hope that helps! Have a good day.
