Train for what? For making videos? Train from people’s comments? There’s a lot of garbage on AI slop on youtube, how would this be sifted out? I think there’s more value here on HN in terms of training, but even that, to what avail?
If u think about it, any videos on YouTube of real world data contribute to its understanding of physics at minimum. From what I gather they do pre training on tons of unstructured content first and that contributes to overall smartness.
Down the line, I think models will start using video generation as part of how they “think.” Picture a version of GPT that works frame by frame—ask it to solve a geometry problem, and it generates a sequence of images to visualize the solution before responding. YouTube’s massive library of visual content could make something like that possible.
