The bald community is so happy rn

Why does Nigel look like he's started drinking olive oil?

BetterHelp had a number of problems, to summarize a huge dealbreaker one. They collected and sold private information that was very much illegal and very much against Hipaa. The CEO said that would be super unethical and they never would do that. It was then proven that they absolutely were doing that.

Climate scientists prefer "climate change" to "global warming" because there can be localized cooling despite a net increased temperature.

The editor had to work very hard on this episode to add legs to every frame doug is in

Here I was, watching safety third to get away from all the Doug-tainted media out there and boom, he just forces himself on the podcast. This is the future the believers want.

Sadly after this episode every member of the safety third crew got divorced, including the single ones

Unexpected crossover

I think the best quote to summarize how GPT should be used is "It should do tedious things for creative people, not do creative things for tedious people."

57:14 The fossil fuels we burn came from the carboniferous period when basically the whole planet was covered in thick vegetation and algae and plankton in the ocean not from dinosaurs. The breakdown of algae in anaerobic environments at the bottom of the ocean is where most oil deposits came from as well as decaying vegetation trapped in bogs which is where we get the carbon in coal deposits.

Dog ass on my favorite podcast? Made my whole day holy shit

When I saw the thumbnail I was like "is that dougdoug????" Boy was I pleasantly surprised

I'm a licensed therapist, and here's why clients and other therapists have told me to avoid BetterHelp like the plague: 1. They will connect you with a therapist that MAY NOT EVEN BE LICENSED, and likely is not in your state. 2. They will straight-up lie about whether or not they accept your insurance, or change the amount of your co-pay without telling you and charge you $100 a session after you've been seeing your therapist for 4 months.

Ah yes, DouglasDouglas, the biggest brain youtube maker

I love that u are working with DougDougDougDougDoug. Hes by far one of the best twitch personalities out there.

Nigel looks different

a big part of the betterhelp drama was also stuff like therapists going like "have you tried not being trans" and crap like that, in addition to all the other stuff like it wasn't just accidentally being bad, it was a lot of "therapists" (btw very few of them have actual licenses, anyway) who flat out didn't even try to help, but were actively harmful to their clients mental health, because it clashed with their personal beliefs

As obvious a gag as it was to most of us, Established Titles did not word it as such until after getting exposed.

Two completely different interests of mine in the KZfaq sphere combined without any real warning and honestly I can’t be happier

15:16 it was CGPGrey that made the video Will was talking about, and his points are basically the same (minus the physically active part) that allen talked about in that book so I went and checked and the video was apparently based on an academic paper released in 2009. Neat

I never thought dougdoug would be on this podcast but now that i think about it he is kinda a perfect fit

Can't believe y'all kidnapped DougDoug

I just recently watched a few DougDoug/Twitch Chat videos and really liked them! That being said, I didn't recognize him at all during the introduction jokes. 😂 Glad to see y'all giving opportunities to the follically challenged out there.

actually, more data is *NOT* the best way to go "more better", instead, more *GOOD* data is the best way...just shoving more data in, is the EASIEST way, though... there's entire papers about how people who trained with specifically hand-curated training data, got nearly as good models as the current top models, at a FRACTION of the size and complexity, but it isn't that cheap to manually curate the datasets, it takes a lot of time and effort, which is why people just blindly throw data at it, because "it works well enough" at the cost of requiring literally supercomputers to be able to crunch through it, while the hand-curated ones can run on FAR lower hardware requirements, and training costs are lower too

YES. I'm glad I heard Doug say he did the podcast on stream. This was highly anticipated.

Limitations are sooooo important for creativity and problem solving.

Kevin mentioned Cody’sLab at 1:21:10 ! I sure hope they do an episode with him as a guest sometime, I think that would be an excellent episode.

Trees store carbon in the ground via roots. Dinosaurs are not your fossil fuels they were not abundant and energy dense enough to produce any notable amounts of fuels. Instead ancient plants, bacteria, and cyanobacteria make up nearly all fossil fuels.

Love this line of thought at 1:20:00 ish. This is exactly what happened with electronic music. In the beginning the sounds were very crisp and clean and everything kept perfect time, and that quickly lost it's novelty. What artists ended up doing was finding ways to 'humanize' the sounds of these tools, intentionally using broken gear, outdated recording tech, and intentionally adding subtle imperfections in other ways to make the music more 'alive.' I can see this happening with AI too. People are going to find better ways of using the tools to make something we couldn't make before, but is still definitely human.

Doug saying "people will start to have identifiers for specific bad AI content" only really works for everyone who is constantly inundated with it. Every old person today cant even pick apart the most common ones, and many people who aren't terminally online probably wont be nearly as good at picking up those identifiers. One day maybe, but I think that growth period is much longer than he makes it out to be, and the damage it could cause during that time is what I think Will is freaked out by.

Interesting convo but wanted to add on that a lot of ppl are mad at AI for a reason beyond job loss. The current AI is using stolen work of small time creators to grow. (Also checking out that book seems like a good read just by the 1 anecdote allen shared)

Screw entertainment AI, where are my accessibility AIs? I want to have a super advanced macro that controls my computer, not crappy art

When they talked about the genuine uses of chat GPT I think of how my mother's workplace uses it. Because they are a company that gives food service to people who often couldn't get a good education, they need to put things at a 6th grade reading level. This used to be very difficult, because everyone writing the reports was a specialist who had no idea what a 6th grade reading level was, but now what was one of the most difficult parts of their jobs became a lot easier, because the AI can put complex issues at a 6th grade reading level with ease. IDK I just find it cool how people use these things as a tool, rather than trying to turn it into a free "Do my job for me" kind of thing

0:05 To be honest, this was kinda how I thought this episode would start.

19:20 For me it kind of depends on how much I like/ am passionate about the video. If I really like it, I’ll tend to put more in effort. Currently I’ve been uploading a bunch of clips from my backlog of previously non-uploaded Xbox live clips so, some of those are just default or minimal effort thumbnails because I have a lot of individual clips to upload.

THAT'S MY STREAMER!!

This is one of the best episodes of any podcast I've ever listened to, and I've listened to every single episode of the yard. doug blends with you guys so well, you NEED to get him on again.

Finally, the crossover event i didnt know i needed

y'all never have collabs that I expect but I'm so for it every time

Ok so if anyone is looking for solution to the question "Why did carbon got "stuck" in carbon deposits and some fossils?". It happened because in prehistoric times there were no microbes that decomposed wood so when the primitive tree or other woody plant died the massive amounts of carbon it stored in itself to create that wood had no way of coming back into the atmosphere thru decomposition. So they layed there dead until the ground level rose up enough to swolow their dead trunks. In modern era it is not impossible to say but less efficiant as we have multitude of bacteria and multicellular organisms having ability to decompose wood and wood like materials. Also bogs and oxygen defiant areas can trap carbon as the organic carbon reach material that ends up there can not be decomposed as the organism that would do that need oxygen to do so. Side note this is why we have the carbonifeurs period named after carbon

Omg best crossover/ collab ever. Long time fan of both Doug and the safety third group

Just a suggestion, but next year Open Sauce could be on the USS hornet its 30 min from SF, has tons of parking, food trucks near by, and it is a aircraft carrier with tons of space! Thanks for reading

Omg omg omg they just keep getting all my favorite people! Genuinely so happy. Falco, now bald doug!

About how the Large Language Model works, if we take an extremely small example, it can only input float (decimals) and output floats. The model is just weighted random (float) and we convert ex the letter A to ex 0.25 letter B to 0.5, C to 0.75 and D to 1.0 (if we only had 4 letters). If you train it AAB and AAC and and you input AA it will either return B or C with 50% of each, if you train it AAB, AAB and then AAC it will have 66.6..% chance for returning B is 33.33...% chance for returning C. If you do this with the whole alphabet instead of just 4 letters and train it on longer text, basically multiply this example by a billion and thats how GPT works and even Image generation works, but instead of letters mapped to float, its RGB XY mapped to floats..

It would also be cool if there were multiple radio "bases" in separate corners of the venue so you could go over to red base and direct the red forces and then go to the blue base and direct the blue forces etc.. It would be fun to see attendees choose teams and participate in the war.

I feel like Doug should create a channel DougDougDougDougGoose.

No retroactieve carbon capture is the same as the fridge experiment. To get it out of the atmosphere it takes more energy they you are pulling out. This is only possible with all renewable energy if you want it to make sense.

Dougey being here for almost two hours is well worth it

doug

I was full send on ramdisks at that age get nvme speeds on a computer from 2010, only downside was data loss with unexpected shutdowns

Australia is hot enough. Stop sending us heat!

I love disguisedtoast's name bc it's a mishearing of a hearthstone card (who says "this guy's toast" when you play him) and i'm so glad that he was a helping hand in shaping DruglessDrugless

I have watched this 23,584 times and can confirm it is a certified Safety Third classic

Fossil fuels are mostly ancient forests and Peat bogs, coal for example came from the Carboniferous, it was very warm and humid and the co2 levels were high, so as we burn the concentrated hydrocarbons from that epoch, the earths co2 rises back toward Carboniferous levels.

"the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, we can give it back" is a crazy quote

Allen's cooler of ice on a glacier idea is hilarious.

Wow thats so strange, I just started down the dougdoug rabbit hole like a week ago and now hes on my favorite podcast

Hey! I work on a lot of zoological research and I guess I'm also technically an AI scientist now? I just wanted to respond to Doug's comment about fine tuning vs ground up machine learning. Finetuning is absolutely the correct approach for the kind of work Doug does, and that a lot of the general public will do. However, ground up is still the preferred method for a lot of research and high level use because the precision matters a lot and starting with an existing model can really, really muddy your waters (believe me, we found this the hard way), especially when the type of data you need to generate is in minute quantities online.

Hell yeah, almost 2hrs of the boys with doug, I think I've died and awoke in podcast heaven

Funny that you spoke about Superbowl ads. This video had almost the same amount of ads :D

Hey guys, I think the rice crispies guy just did a "yoink and twist", his video explore the different tastes of various woods and so on!

Ya'll need to have NightHawkinLight on. He's literally making passive cooling using radiative panels that converts incoming light to infrared that cuts thru the atmosphere.

I think we should build a gigantic tungsten rod, and pump all the heat into that, then put it on a rocket and launch it into space! Just redo that a couple times a year!

Im so glad you guys got Nigel on the pod again

it's nice to see Doug outside of his enclosure every now and then ❤ i'm glad they let him out

I saw the thumbnail and literally said there’s no way that’s dougdoug right??? Fricken awesome.

two hour episode, damn we're eating good today

The problem with better help is that they don’t guarantee that you’re even getting a real therapist, and that they use actual patient info with personal info in ads, among other things

5:59 I remember thinking that the shorts channel should be named "doug", but I guess that just wasn't a good enough idea to actually use

Doug Doug is my favorite KZfaqr. My birthday is 10/4. This is my episode and you can't tell me otherwise because I'll cry.

That radio game sounds like this game that i forget the name of where you were a radio operator in Vietnam directing troops and all you had to work with was a map and the incoming audio from the field

My favorite content creators!

Grunge scene gona go hard in the 2080s after the AI-driven resurgence of the nuclear family in the 2050s, and the punk scene of the late 2070s.

1:34:28 ish just fyi the size of the models is in terms of tunable parameters or complexity of a function the model can estimate. The number in billions or trillions is number of parameters. The token size is roughly the input/memory for an LLM and tells you how much context it can basically process (something like working memory). Llm models running inference like chatgpt typically have some where around 4k-8k token limit beyind which they basically lose context (in one ear out the other), i think Claude 3 new model from anthropic can do something like 1 million tokens (so should be able to take in a lot more context with prompts rather than requiring fine tuning as often)

Douglas Douglas?

1:23 you can see the search query in the top left in the browser tab

entertainingly I just enjoy how will is turning into an old man about marketing things toward children, while wearing a tshirt with pikachu on it.

59:36 Me, an Earth and Environmental Science Major, watching the Safety Third Crew just get EVERYTHING wrong...

I've been reading "The Meaning of Human Existence" by Edward Wilson and he makes a point to say that repeatability, science, and objectivity are constants any society can develop. You can reset Earth and an intelligent species will eventually build the same science we have, given enough time (our scientific understanding is only about 500 years worth). The one thing that will always remain in our species that gives us value...is our humanity. Our flaws, rough edges, pain, trauma, experiences, art, expression. Our humanity is innately "human," and that can never change. Our science doesn't make us unique, our art does. AI can "copy" it, but it cannot recreate the heart and soul. It can't understand pain, love, trauma, the appreciation of the sunset, the grief of losing a loved one, etc. And when it does, it'll have its own expression outside of the humanities.

A child of Douglas and William would be formidable.

The coincidence of this occurring is wild. I just started watching DougDoug over the past 3 weeks. I feel like I must be responsible for this, somehow. Thanks, all!

Most sea level rise is not from melting of glaciers, though it is occuring. Most of the contributions to sea level rise is that warmer water takes up more space

There is no way DougDoug would be on a science podcast. r/wehatedougdoug WILL be hearing about this. For real this time, trust me.

I was in the middle of writing a nodejs app when you started talked about it

The Wii remote, white board projector thing… was that the tech that created the “smart board”? I used to use those in school!!!!

Crossover of the century!!

never on earth did I forsee this collab

"I love Carbon Maxxing" omg

This is like the equal but opposite of when Hank Green went on The Yard.

If anyone wants to try something like the "interactive radio war" thing they were talking about, there is a game called Radio General on Steam that sounds very similar to that.

I adore you guys and the podcast, had to stop watching episode with every other word being Like. Catch yall on the next episode ❤

There's ALWAYS a mod for skyrim, including what was discussed.... AllWAYS

DougDoug WikiFeet 5-star rating speed run stream when?

My beef with better help is that they don’t accept health insurance, and it lets the health insurance companies who make it difficult to find a therapist through their networks off the hook for actually providing their patients with therapy (as all health insurance companies in the U.S. are required to provide by law)

The problem is better help is that they sell your data when it is supposed to be protected from being shared at all

Nigel lookin real bald today

I don't understand why they put the side character of the Doug Doug KZfaq channel on this episode of the podcast, we need twitch chat to get in there for the next episode.

Trees store lots of carbon underground in roots

One serious problem with carbon capture is, it requires a ton of energy to implement. So much so, that if it were powered by fossil fuels, the carbon capture would only be able to capture some, but not all, of the emissions generated by the fuel used to power the technology. You don't have that problem *exactly* with renewable energy sources, but the very similar problem there is that the positive impact is greater if you just take that renewable energy, and use it to supplant existing fossil fuel energy, without ever thinking about carbon capture. The math goes like this, for example (exact numbers made up, this is just to demonstrate the principle) a 1kW carbon capture system can capture the carbon generated by the fossil fuel burned to generate 0.5kW of power the 1kW capture system is powered by solar, so this doesn't have emissions in operation, and the system can eliminate the impact of an additional 0.5kW of fossil fuel power; great! Except, if you instead use the 1kW solar directly for utilities, you can reduce the output of the fossil fuel plant by 1kW, which is, of course, more than the 0.5kW the capture system can offset. Congratulations, no middle man, and you save on the cost and environmental impact of manufacturing the carbon capture system. Unless that ratio of the energy equivalent of the captured carbon to energy consumed by the capture system becomes greater than 1 (to my knowledge, we are nowhere close, with no signs of substantially closing that gap), carbon capture will always be a stupid thing to implement

44:20 if anyone else has seen JSchlatt’s funny sticks video, this gives good evidence for schlatt turning down a tobacco sponser offer, and made a shitpost sketch out of the scenario.
