I learned yesterday the video I made in 2017 explaining how Bitcoin works was taken down, and my channel received a copyright strike (despite it being 100% my own content).
The request seems to have been issued by a company chainpatrol, on behalf of Arbitrum, whose website says they "makes use of advanced LLM scanning" for "Brand Protection for Leading Web3 Companies"
I could be wrong, but it sounds like there's a decent chance this means some bot managed to convince YouTube's bots that some re-upload of that video (of which there has been an incessant onslaught) was the original, and successfully issue the takedown and copyright strike request.
It's naturally a little worrying that it should be possible to use these tools to issue fake takedown requests, considering that it only takes 3 to delete an entire channel.

Here's Raiza (NotebookLM PM) on how her tiny team delivered Google's breakout AI product:
"I wanted a Discord community for NotebookLM. People in Google responded, 'What's Discord? Why not a Google Group?' But I persisted, and now we have 60,000+ users giving us feedback.”
"We're focused relentlessly on shipping quickly. It's easier not to ship than to do it, especially at a large company. We create "fake" deadlines to drive urgency, which has worked well."
“In Labs, we move fast and are thoughtful about when to formalize processes. Our meetings are just PMs, designers, and engineers sitting together to work on PRDs, mocks, and code.”
For my new post, I collaborated with @raiza_abubakar on:
• The inside story of NotebookLM’s success
• 6 lessons for small teams to make an impact
• 7 ways to get the most out of NotebookLM

I spent a ton of time this year writing about "Code Art" from the olden times to the present. I'm going to share some of the bibliography for the olden stuff over the next few days... for fun :)

Sam Altman returning to OpenAI after a day is like Steve Jobs returning to Apple after 12 years, but for the TikTok generation

Meta have apparently launched several AI-augmented accounts on Instagram that encourage you to talk to celebrity likenesses. The wildest part of this for me is that one of them explicitly encourages you to confide in it?! Which I'm sure contributed to the fact it's now offline.
ALT Instagram message: "Hey! I'm Billie, your older system and confidante. Got a problem? I've got your back! <fist emoji>" Underneath it reads "This AI is no longer available."

🚨 Calling on my network for a bit of collaboration on a thing! 🚨
I'm collecting examples of where Design has had a positive impact in the public sector. This could be any type of design (interaction, service, graphic, content, policy...). If you're interested DM me!

I'm working on a new research project: The political geography of AI infrastructure. We're basically mapping cloud data centres, GPUs, and supercomputers. Expect a working paper in a couple of months. oii.ox.ac.uk/research/projec… #cloud #AI

An amazing outcome of this tweet going viral was me finding out the work of @BlindMath @bj_w95 and @Pecnut. They have made this amazing environment to explore PDEs visually! visualpde.com

(🚨) A quick thread about Naum Gabo, the scientist-turned-artist and a key figure in kinetic and constructivist art.
His sculptures aren't just seen, they're experienced.

I'm interested in what a community #climatechange space looks like. Part lending library, part training, part job centre, part community board. I'd like to prototype what that could look like this year. If that sounds like your cup of tea, put your hands up.

Instead, w/clustering on >2000 data points, “normal” people cluster into 2 clear groups:
🔴BROAD responders: ~60% can neutralise Omicron BA.1 before their 3rd vax dose
🔵NARROW responders: ~40% made a great response to ancestral Wuhan-Hu-1 spike but not vs. later variants
