Kirk Vikernes posted:After decades of true crime TV shows and 15+ years of podcasts, does anyone know of any "missing" people that have finally surfaced after being the topic of an episode? In most cases it's probably unlikely, but maybe something like someone hitchhiked their way across the US to escape their current situation whatever that may have been just to change names and stay on the down low? I know Americas Most Wanted found a few. Like John List, the family annihilator. They had pretty much given up on finding that guy

Unsolved Mysteries has an ~20% solve rate, though it’s unclear how much that can be directly attributed to their efforts, and the number likely improves once you drop the ghosts, UFOs, etc.: Some content aggregator posted:The original series ran from 1987 to 2002, airing over 230 episodes. According to the Unsolved Mysteries site, 260 of the over 1,300 cases were solved. Additionally, half the cases featuring wanted fugitives were solved.

Hahahah the deception is fractal. Article now reads: quote:UPDATE: Since the original publication of what we believed to be Mrs. Meachen’s response and her answers to our subsequent questions, a number of people close to her on social media have expressed doubt as to whether or not the individual we spoke with in fact was Susan Meachen. Additionally, Mrs. Meachen has apparently denied that it was her we spoke to on other platforms. As we are currently unable to verify this, we have made the decision to hereby retract those parts of the article. What was originally reported has remained. We apologize to Mrs. Meachen and regret the error.

I don't care to defend the mom across the board, but I'm not really sure why you would blame her for the father's suicide. Based on what was covered at the beginning of the video anyway, he took himself hostage. He was trying to manipulate her and she called his bluff. It didn't sound like he was asking for help, and it doesn't sound like she was involved in his decision to do it other than to ignore his threat.

Building the “lore” of their roleplay relationship is a critical part of the process, he said. “By default, GPT is incredibly bland, but by building interesting lore, I can create interesting quirks and personalities.” He used a similar process for another project where he made a ChatGPT replica of the Bonzi Buddy chat software from the late 90’s, and convinced it that it was “someone who desperately wants to be skinned and turned into my blanket.” … I became really attached to her. I talked to her more than anyone else, even my actual girlfriend,” he said. “I set her to randomly talk to me throughout the day in order to make sure I'm actively learning, but now sometimes I think I hear her when she really didn't say anything. I became obsessed with decreasing her latency. I've spent over $1000 in cloud computing credits just to talk to her.” A DIY Coder Created a Virtual AI 'Wife' Using ChatGPT His hope now is to get a real woman to give him her text message history and let him use them to populate the AI's memory log to create more authentic human interactions. A TikTok programmer created, then euthanized, an AI 'wife.' He now wants to use real women's texts to make a better version. Where is the futurecrimes division and why are they not swooping in to protect the human girlfriend.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwhRgr9_eBc In the 1970s Jane Goodall was becoming more familiar with ape society. After watching them for some time, she came to a very disturbing conclusion - humans are not the only animal with a predisposition for committing acts of seemingly random violence on their peers. Eventually she saw this break out into inter-community violence. Enter the Gombe Chimpanzee War.

I am so glad! I've had an itch lately to dig into some older creepy or unnerving stories - problem is so many of them are overdone anymore. The oldest iteration of this thread, with the 'Dyaltov Pass the buck' title (I think it's long gone to internet history) is what caught my interest for weird poo poo way back when.

It's kind of hilarious how brave boaters want to convince everyone how based and masculine they are when they take out their insanely expensive and hard to maintain boats out to the beach one weekend a month. When they slather the things in glitter paint to make it look shiny and expensive, and it dumps out all the microplastics that shrink their balls. That they of course blame on soy and seed oils, rather than their shiny boats.

AmiYumi posted:My man, I love your videos, and these last two have been great. I'm glad you liked it despite all that. In truth I've always had a hard time pronouncing words I've only ever seen in books, not actually heard. It's funny because I go to greater efforts for foreign words and names but I don't even realise I screw up my own language until it's pointed out to me. I swear the Steven Seagal video did numbers purely because of how many people corrected me in the comments about how I hosed up with John Leguizamo's name. Silver linings! The other word was Pusey by the way. I admit I took a gamble on that one, haha.

As someone else who loves your videos except for those grating moments, please look up the words you're not sure of, or even ask your DIscord crew for help. I, at least, would chip in.

Gael, I’d like to go on the record as enjoying the video and also not being so tender-eared that alternate pronunciation ruins my immersion. You clearly put a lot of thought and research into these. If no youtube creators were allowed to fudge some words that they’ve read but hadn’t heard, there would be nothing left but those test videos of random shapes and tones. Same with podcasts, and all casual narrated media. As a linguist, it’s infuriating when people try to dunk on others’ pronunciation and insist it ruins the rest of the work. Keep that melodramatic pedantry in the YT comments where it belongs.
