If you see a new youTube channel with a plain sounding name like "NatureView" or "BrightScience" etc. and there is what looks like a tempting video on a specific education topic "Most Active Volcanoes" or "Incredible Carnivorous Plants"

There is a 50/50 chance it will be a generated voice with stock footage and a script written by GPT.

I am now avoiding videos if I don't recognize the creator, or don't see signs it was made by a person.

So much spam!

@futurebird My YT recommendations seem to be immune to this junk so far. However, my tendency to be interested in cute pet videos on Instagram Reals seems to have served this kind of content very often recently. Often, the clearly LLM-generated descriptions have nothing to do with the content but seem to sway the recommendation system. I should really just cut this platform out of my life.

Hello everyone. I've been a somewhat outspoken proponent of Fastly, and for good reason. They've been incredibly helpful and generous with hosting Infosec.Exchange. Moving Infosec.Exchange behind Fastly about a year ago was the single biggest improvement I've been able to bring to the Infosec.Exchange community in its more than 7 years of existence. No, I don't get paid by them to say this (or for any other reason), we just a good deal through their Fast Forward program on their services.

Today, Fastly asked me to help announce their new free tier developer accounts, which has been an oft-requested feature of them. You can find info on that free tier here: http://fastly.com/pricing and the announcement is here: http://fastly.com/instant

I don't generally like to plug things, but I have to tell you that I've been incredibly impressed by Fastly's service and their people. If you're a developer looking for CDN services, or otherwise in the market for CDN services give Fastly a look.

@jerry @devs Whoever decided to put this feature on the pricing page deserves a pat on the back:
