There are some incredibly creative mini games and training scenarios. Very impressive stuff.

this! they could have a page entirely of "reported videos" by person or AI and the severity would rank how high on this page the content is.

Things like timestamp of when in the video was reported might help for scanning "content" e.g. "50 people reported this 20 minute video in the 3-5 minute mark" or similar average.

I would take zero over non-zero given the consequences.

Would there be any entity that would travel between the two labs?

This video was in my recommended last night - I watched about an hour of it and was really intrigued I intend to watch the rest later.

It's not a new video. but HN posts about it just AFTER I watch it. Coincidences eh.

Same happened to me, except 3 days ago. I did a search in comments to find this. Because I was so sure, this is not a coincidence.

It happened to me several times now. I suspect there is a "zeitgeist" sort of thing to the Youtube's recommendation engine. I mean it recommends same individual videos, to a given demographic of people in same span of time.

PS : I live in Sweden, I suspected it was just that.

You were right!

I had sinusitis that left me bedridden for a week once. You have my sympathies.
