I've setup an AI captioning thing, I think I've tuned the parameters to get pretty good results imo
Can you interject AI caption ads
so Rob says "remember to drink a refreshing coke a cola" every now and then
I think that would be funny
I like being able to search through transcripts easily on the site
The only thing I'm not thrilled about it capitalization, but imo it's better than what's on YouTube rn
Its a good feature, even with how iffy it is I like the youtube transcript search feature

If people tell me the quality is good enough, I'll run it against all site videos
then they'll get the little CC button thing on the player
and you can pop-out the transcription search widget
Replying to Plantfriend #plantfriend5193 It’s a shame because people like Millbee and Pyro are so fucking funny. Probably would have done well had they adapted their format to the times
Pyro was doing well afterwards, his community wasn’t just Minecraft but he himself wanted to go down a different path than YouTuber which he mentioned in almost every video and was actively working on quitting YouTube
Pyro's life is genuinely kind of sad
every time he did his yearly minecraft episode for a while, and talked about it
"Yeah I kind of just grinded work and gave up everything fun"
yeah even in his new Mindcrack episodes he talks about working a lot
A lot of people give bad advice along the lines of "this is the time in your life to grind while you're young"
and then you come up for air a few years later or w/e and wonder why you're miserable and aren't even that far ahead in life for the effort
it's one thing when you genuinely have a generational opportunity, in which case yeah that's your shot and you should do it
but it's been twisted or misapplied by far more people living normal lives and thinking they can't enjoy anything and have to think about The Future™
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Pyro's life is genuinely kind of sad
His life is fine, you must not have watched the same videos as me because before he quit he knew YouTube was not sustainable for him
I literally watched all his modern minecraft videos he did after leaving for a while
his life is "fine" it is just depressing
Watch the non modern Minecraft videos lol
Why? The minecraft ones are his recent updates on his life
I'm agreeing with Pika, he 100% is not happy and saying he's "fine" is charitable
Yes his recent updates on his life but before he quit it’s completely different picture from what you are trying to attribute to his modern videos
Spooky L take didn’t watch his binding of Isaac videos.
Spark Dragon, those videos are years old
He is talking about work a lot because that is what he is doing
Yes they are years old because he moved on from YouTube
He in hindsight himself says his life was not the best
recently
I trust his recent interpretation of his life with the power of hindsight more than his interpretationf from 5+ years ago
One of the few times a YouTube actually decided to quit and not be a grifter milking 100 people for money
And you’re now saying he is depressed because his recent videos is just about his work
I am not saying that he should have kept doing youtube, I agree that he had no career doing that. I am saying his choice to hyper grind his real job at the cost of his hobbies and life sucked
and its depressing
^ which he candidly admits sucked and weren't worth it
That’s working and he did that to get the job he wanted
He didn’t go to college for a degree so as he said built programs and websites to build up his resume
Again, I understand "why" he did it
I am saying it was a depressing choice
It’s really not a depressing choice, that’s a life choice
a depressing life choice
a depressing life choice
fuck, you both beat me to it, and spelled it correctly Pika
I made the life choice to give up all my hobbies and grind coding for 10 years, I made the right choice clearly despite being mierable because I probably make 10% more money than I would have otherwise
For you it is a depressing one that’s not what he says about it
He literally has said, he made some choices he regrets
Spark Dragon, idk why either Pika or I are bothing to argue with you
you're just wrong
yeah this is a retarded conversation
Just because you have a few regrets doesn’t mean by the end it’s all regrettable
I think if I gave up literally every hobby I like, I would refer to that choice as depressing for my own life.
So Pyro's choice is depressing
He did not give up every hobby
He basically did
Oh so now your changing the argument you said he gave up all
He didn’t not he just quit YouTube and plays video games when he can with the little free time he has like literally any other adult and person working
Back to Rob-posting
I'm going to try a few other small tweaks on the AI captions
and then start the (hilariously long) process to run through everything
it's probably like 2 months of GPU time
finally, AI rob
the real "robot moron" or whatever the account was called
Replying to legorhin #jazardly once you have captions you can begin the even longer process of training a video generation model with text prompts
I have local captions from when I did the Rob AI thing before
wait, I think I just explained this, but maybe I didn't
My idea was to find random silent let's plays other people did, and have an AI go through and re-dub them with Rob's voice

I was starting to test it out on pokemon but felt like it wasn't turning out how I wanted so I was trying to think how to take a different approach
this was like a year ago ish
Wait so like actual AI Rob?

That sounds hilarious
