Video uploaders can see how long people view their videos. It's only an average number of minutes, but it still gives you a good idea if people are watching your entire video, or only the first few seconds before moving on.

This sounds pretty unlikely. I wonder what's up. Also I can reach it from my cell phone.

If it's useful, here [1] is the study.

Something isn't (or wasn't) right at your/their end. I can reach the site without issues right now.

I hope this is a preventative patent, ensuring that nobody does this. Why would anyone upload content with this as the end result?

Once in a while, someone uploads a heavy guitar oriented 12-tone composition to YouTube. So far, all the ones I've heard have had a very consistent heavy metal feel to them.

Each person usually has a different "algorithm" and explain how they came up with the riff or song. It can sound quite evil.

The word I've heard for this is Dodecaphony.

Here is an example of one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCL3E0Mh4js

Now I wonder if anyone pays the bribe to see what happens.

Follow up and let us know if this gets you oddly wealthy.

Exactly. I would expect a lot of modern words do not appear in the KJV. Unless you're chumming around with William Shakespeare, a lot of what you say won't be there. It would make more sense to use NIV or one of the other modernized translations.

BTW: Cats are not mentioned in the Bible. They certainly existed at the time, especially since they were so important to the Egyptians.

In fact cats are mentioned in the bible, in the deuterocanonical book of Baruch 6:21 (6:22 in some versions). This was part of the bible up until the reformation and is still part of the bible for catholics and orthodox, but protestants consider it apocryphal.

As a Protestant you have not, of course, convinced me that "cat" is in the Bible, but that is a great comeback!

I think the award for the most theologically significant word not in the KJV (or any other English translation, for that matter) is "trinity".

Yes, I guess it's obvious I'm not Catholic, because I didn't know of this book.

Having said that, the verse says cats fly like birds. I have a strong feeling that, like unicorns, they mean a different animal that they happened to call "cat" or (mis)translated the original word as such.

Problem is NIV is not open source, technically I would need a license. There's lots of more modern translations, like the World English Bible.

I think using KJV is good for enhancing the joke though.

This is interesting. I tried to get ChatGPT to attempt this. The denial and explanation I got was that while it can be very specific about physical attributes, it cannot link them to things like race, sexuality, religion, etc.

Grok probably doesn't have such guardrails, but since I don't do X, I'll have to leave that experiment up to someone else.

I'd be interested in seeing the experiments they did with the two subjects with perfect pitch. For them, it must be very disorienting, but also quite interesting.

Wonderbread is cake. And The Cake Is A Lie.

Exactly. The medical cannabis industry has been doing this right from the start. Thankfully they do tell you what strains they got their cultivar from, though.
