My YouTube algorithm is so cooked man cause what the hell is even this
Wait. I know Jacob Geller this dude is legit. If I had to guess this video is probably about how supernatural things are literally real in the Indiana Jones universe, including God, given the first and third movies are literally about the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, and yet the main character refuses to believe in any of it.
So did you watch the essay before writing this, or do you just have all his videos memorized?
? No, I haven't seen it, I just estimated what the video was about based on what I know of the Indiana Jones franchise and how it relates to religion
Demily has this amazing natural ability called "deductive reasoning" that many people seem to forget exist.
People who drive small cars in the US have balls of steel. (Here'a my car compared to the sort of pickups I see every day) (website is carsized.com)
The American method to car safety really is My Car is Bigger So It Wins The Crash.
And people drive these things like fucking maniacs. Every time I get behind the wheel I need to get into the headspace that literally everyone on the road is out to kill me. The lack of airbags combined with the fact everyone's driving fucking tanks at 60mph means I can kiss the world goodbye if I get into a wreck. If I disappear, assume I was plowed by Brad in his Ram 2500 while he was distracted stuffing a burger in his face.
!!SPOILERS FOR THE SEASON ONE FINALE OF SEVERANCE IN THIS VIDEO!! No spoilers below:
VIDEO: Severance Outie Cut, Season 1 Episode 9
Okay yaāll, I believe I have done everything I need to do to make the Innie and Outie Supercuts that I made of Severance available. I looked into a lot of different free storage options out there and unfortunately none of them had enough space (the cuts together are ~35GB), so I landed on creating a torrent file to share it, which just means Iām sending it directly from my computer to your computer without the middleman of cloud storage
This is the first time Iāve ever created a torrent to share, so I had to follow a tutorial. I believe everything worked correctly. Please let me know if thereās any problems (or if you know more about torrents than I do and see any immediate glaring issues.)
Hereās what youāll need to do:
1. Download a bittorrent client (I recommend qbittorrent.) 2. Grab the .torrent file from the google drive I created: here 3. Side note, I created the file in qbittorrent but I believe you can use it in any client. Someone correct me if thatās wrong. 4. In your bittorrent client, look for an option that says something like āadd torrent fileā and use that to select the file 5. Choose where to download the file and click āokayā 6. Youāre done! Wait for it to download and youāre good to go!
You donāt need to go to any sketchy torrent sites, you can check the file contents in the bittorrent client when you add it to make sure it is what I say it is (it will contain two video files, and two image files for those of you who use something like plex and want title cards), and yeah I think thatās it
Please let me know what you think of it if/when you watch it! I put a lot of hours into it and I really enjoyed watching it, so I hope you guys do as well.
OH ALSO. If you know anyone who is willing to sacrifice their first Severance watch through and watch these cuts first as an experiment, I am extremely curious to hear about how the experience differs when you watch it as intended vs. watching it from each perspective individually.
I have it ordered as Outie Cut first, then Innie Cut second. Youāre welcome to watch in whatever order you like, though, obviously.
My thought process here is that the Outie perspective is more interesting as a mystery where you donāt know what is happening at Lumon. Youāre discovering things along with oMark, you donāt have any more information than he does.
And I think the Innie perspective could be interesting either way, but I think most of the interest just comes from discovering the world of Lumon here. It definitely could be interesting to see the Innie perspective with no knowledge of the outside world, though. Let me know what you think about the watch order!

Haven't watched season two yet, will be expecting this scene
It's the eve of book 5 release, and I'm celebrating by finally releasing a project I've been keeping for a while.
Back in 2022, Dragonsteel reached out to me to ask if I'd be interested in working on the official design of Rlain with them, as well as designing the head carapace for singers/listeners in Warform. As of a few weeks ago, I received permission to release them. They liked the direction my fan art was going, and together we designed the canonical looks that you can see in the brotherwise minatures today, which are now the official looks for characters such as Rlain and Eshonai.
We played with the looks of Rlain's hair as well out of Warform, and ended up with the look in the second image. Whether or not that becomes canon, we'll see, but it was fun to imagine what it could look like!
This was an incredible opportunity and I'm so happy for the chance to bring one of my favourite characters from the books to life. I worked on a couple more projects and hope to release more art from that soon. But for now, enjoy book 5 everyone!

Funniest part of the information age is that every time someone gets arrested for assassination, we get to see screenshots of tweets they made back in 2011 like "got my foot stuck in the toilet, eating an orange now"
guy who only commits the assassination so that his old tweets get the attention they deserve
A former OpenAI researcher who raised concerns about the company is dead at 26.
"Balajiās death comes three months after he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright law while developing ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence program that has become a moneymaking sensation used by hundreds of millions of people across the world.
Its public release in late 2022 spurred a torrent of lawsuits against OpenAI from authors, computer programmers and journalists, who say the company illegally stole their copyrighted material to train its program and elevate its value past $150 billion.
The Mercury News and seven sister news outlets are among several newspapers, including the New York Times, to sue OpenAI in the past year.
In an interview with the New York Times published Oct. 23, Balaji argued OpenAI was harming businesses and entrepreneurs whose data were used to train ChatGPT.
āIf you believe what I believe, you have to just leave the company,ā he told the outlet, adding that āthis is not a sustainable model for the internet ecosystem as a whole.ā
Balaji grew up in Cupertino before attending UC Berkeley to study computer science. It was then he became a believer in the potential benefits that artificial intelligence could offer society, including its ability to cure diseases and stop aging, the Times reported. āI thought we could invent some kind of scientist that could help solve them,ā he told the newspaper.
But his outlook began to sour in 2022, two years after joining OpenAI as a researcher. He grew particularly concerned about his assignment of gathering data from the internet for the companyās GPT-4 program, which analyzed text from nearly the entire internet to train its artificial intelligence program, the news outlet reported.
The practice, he told the Times, ran afoul of the countryās āfair useā laws governing how people can use previously published work. In late October, he posted an analysis on his personal website arguing that point.
No known factors āseem to weigh in favor of ChatGPT being a fair use of its training data,ā Balaji wrote. āThat being said, none of the arguments here are fundamentally specific to ChatGPT either, and similar arguments could be made for many generative AI products in a wide variety of domains.ā
Reached by this news agency, Balajiās mother requested privacy while grieving the death of her son.
In a Nov. 18 letter filed in federal court, attorneys for The New York Times named Balaji as someone who had āunique and relevant documentsā that would support their case against OpenAI. He was among at least 12 people ā many of them past or present OpenAI employees ā the newspaper had named in court filings as having material helpful to their case, ahead of depositions."
"suicide", huh
OpenAI took notes from Boeing I see
the edit itself

I was telling myself I shouldn't reblog this, I don't want to end up on some watchlist, for a tiktok, and then I saw this:
lmfao theyre trying to erase EVERYTHING huh.
>First, weāve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, thatās about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.
>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.
>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey weāve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.
>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so Iām happy enough with that.
>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.
>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.
>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.
>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!
>Lemmings problem now solved.
>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTĆ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.
>Some queries along the lines of āAre you not stealing the internet?ā Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.
>Iām afraid I passed the You Wouldnāt Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.
>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad companyās wish to profile them.
>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.
>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Havenāt tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesnāt have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.
fastest reblog in the west
Yeppers. :)
reblogging for study later AND to spread the info.
Seriously, get and run PiHole if you can. It changes your internet experience so much for the better. I get shocked when I visit a website when I'm someone else's network, by just how many ads the internet is flooded with now. Take back control.

I am one of those weirdos who says the gulf coast counts as part of the east coast, except Tampa which is actually a West Coast City as it is on the West Coast of Florida
I guess Tampa isn't relevant then, since it's not on your list of West Coast cities?
Correct, Tampa is the least relevant big US City to me
