I mean, this is obvious, right?

The whole issue with LLM models right now is that they are notoriously difficult to control. If it were up to Google, every single response would include a reference to some sponsored content - but they can’t do that without completely destroying the usefulness of the output and besmirching the sponsor’s brand.

Of course, as time passes, we’re going to refine this technology, until we have enough control to implement these terrible/profitable ideas. Like any aspect of life under capitalism, we can really only enjoy it while it lasts.

Yep, I did the obvious thing and checked when the app last updated, and it was May 3rd. So disregard every word of that post!

Ahh, that’s very possible, fair point.

I never used the old voice feature, so I guess I assumed based on how it looked and such. If it actually works the way I’m imagining though, that’ll be insane. I don’t think I’m prepared for that.

The speed aspect is impressive, but I’m really disappointed about the “natural” conversation feature.

Like at first, I was super impressed with the presentation, but on the app, there’s one crucial difference: you need to tap to interrupt.

Watching the presentation, I was thinking maybe there was a continuous input feed, and the AI was reacting to that in real time - so for example, if I said “Ahh, I see”, the AI would hear that, but continue talking.

However, it seems like the input is still broken up into request/response the same as before, and this is actually just a new front-end (with some improvements in the response).

So overall, this is kinda neat, but sadly it’s not at all what they seem to by hyping it up as, as far as natural conversation goes.

Finally tried it, and stress-tested it with an LTT video. It works!

I keep meaning to see if SponsorBlock works on mobile now.

Also, just to confirm in case anyone’s curious: did you mean uBlock Origin?

I’m busy with work lately, but I’m investing into setting up Jellyfin, and the moment that’s running, I’m canceling as well.

Would cancel sooner, but I’m not the one that actually uses it, so this was the compromise.
