  1. 9:14 When I jokingly, or provokingly mock the entities around my TN neighborhood, they go dead quiet. This happens even if they were just mimicking me in a distorted voice before I approached the wood line. They seem to like watching, but are unnerved or outright terrified of me, enough so they don't act, and respect my strong warnings of retaliation if they disrupt the peace of the neighborhood.

    This effect extends to animals, including normally aggressive animals, or those not bothered by humans. And it extends to normally violent or criminally inclined people too.

  4. My ex was an artist. I am so fed up with the AI discussion, especially in regards to art. I've heard it all, trust me. She is by far the best artist in physical medium that I have ever seen. These jobs don't just vanish. Automation should have taught people that. Typically, you get positions with higher skill requirements and then lower skill requirements. While fewer people are necessary in concept, the reality tends to be that little changes other than a more consistent quality of product. Rather than seeing it as an attack on creatives, maybe they should see it as a tool to lessen the menial work and instead refocus on being creative. Start actually using the available fucking tools for once rather than crying about how this tool is taking away the shit part of the job you constantly bitch about. If you're a creative whose creativity ends at recreating someone else's creation, how creative are you? If that is your limitation, there is still a fuckton of shit to fix within the AI art itself. A job still exists for you in that space and it's something you're already highly skilled at. Congratulations, welcome to modernization in industry. You still have a job, it's technically got a higher skill floor and you can argue for higher compensation for easier work just like everyone else in the world. That's how this shit works.

    If, like my ex, you're incredibly skilled, the market has now set your work as a premium service. Once you establish your work, you're now capable of making more while working less and society will actively seek to protect it, and you, from your work being stolen. The people that succeed moving forward aren't going to be the people who fight it, they're going to be the ones who find the best ways to use it. In the beginning, it was the robots that were going to replace us, now it's the AI that's going to replace us, but the robots didn't replace everyone and the people running those robots, not to mention servicing, designing, maintaining, etc are all paid far more now than they would have been before.

  15. I love seeing you guys– so if you get stock photos, or acted videos, or even very short AI videos to supplement what we already see, I'm happy for it. Also thank you for hearing us about guests– we subscribed for you guys, after all!

  24. Great stuff as always. guys, have you done any research of the people supposedly found headless in the Superstition Mountains and the links to gold, etc in that area? Some eerie similarities to the Nahanni Valley down there.

  27. This was a super fun video. The funny thing about Frances, if there wasn't a France there no America. France is the only reason America won the revolutionary war. That's so often gets looked over but America would not have won that war without France, and the rest of Europe for that matter.

  32. The failure of the Harry Potter video is probably due at least partially to HP in general losing popularity due to JKR being terf rather than lack of interest in European folklore.

  33. I thought that Navajo people considered it disrespectful for white people to talk about… their variation of flesh pedestrians. Which I understand, considering the lack of comprehension of what they actually are. But I guess if you're already breaking the taboo/being disrespectful by talking about them, you might as well continue down that path by saying their names.

  34. Texas Cryptids favs from a Texas native -goat man (Denton)
    – not cryptids but a lot of hotels and haunts
    – a lot of folk lore creatures from Mexican Native American friends
    – niche cryptids only known in certain properties by people who are frequent aka me at one of my camps who accidentally uncovered an old entity from 40 years ago bc he started following me as a kid. Very scary to tell a story to a coworker once I started working there and for him to look at me with big eyes and ask is the entity looked like what he looked like before I even told him what it looked like.

  35. 52:00 as an artist, my main issue with AI is that 90% of them actively steals art to feed its algorithm (among other more complicated things related to the future, eco concerns, peoples general lack of respect for artists, but that's the biggest CURRENT issue), but I understand the appeal, especially for if you don't have that kind of budget for an artist start to finishing a concept, to have it pull up some quick concepts and the fact that you plan to pay an actual artist solves some of that anyways. Just be responsible, everyone else is already doing it anyways!

  36. "where did it come from". You know some of us telling you to not do that are Indigenous right? like…our grandparents and other elders told us not to. THAT is where that comes from. You tell the kids to set them right and then like Voldemort you don't say it again.

    Some of us have seen stuff, man.

  42. 9:15 hi, the icelandic person with a sense of humor in question. I do accept and appreciate the attempt, and I hope you understand that I'm laughing with you, not at you. Keep up the good work.
