The new app is called watchGPT and as I tipped off already, it gives you access to ChatGPT from your Apple Watch. Now the $10,000 question (or more accurately the $3.99 question, as that is the one-time cost of the app) is why having ChatGPT on your wrist is remotely necessary, so let’s dive into what exactly the app can do.

YouTube Allows Videos to Be Sampled by Default
YouTube Video creators are automatically opted-in to allow other creators to sample their content for YouTube Shorts videos.
YouTube Shorts is a relatively new form of video similar to TikTok videos. YouTube shorts allows content creators to sample original content from other YouTube videos that are automatically opted-in.
YouTube is automatically opt-in the videos of content creators and to make it difficult to opt out of giving away their content to other creators.
At this point anyone can take original content and use it for YouTube shorts.
Is YouTube Using Dark Patterns to Opt-in Content Sampling?
Dark Patterns is a form of user interface manipulation designed to force a user to take a desired action.
Dark Patterns are used by big tech companies and even politicians to manipulate users to perform unintended actions such as give away their privacy or make larger donations or purchases than intended.
For example, user interfaces on Google or Facebook products are said to take an extra five more clicks to opt-out of giving away ones privacy whereas give it all away is the default and takes zero action to do.
YouTube appears to be using Dark Patterns to make it difficult to opt-out of content sharing and easy to opt-in (by doing nothing).
A creator needs to click the “Content” link to get to the creator back end and then they need to click an edit icon on an individual video and then scroll to the bottom of the page and click a “Show All” link and then scroll again to the bottom of the page to reach the opt-out selection.
Scroll to Bottom of the Page then Click Show More link
Scroll to Bottom of Page Again to Opt-out of Content Sampling
YouTube appears to not have sent a formal notice that YouTube Creators are free to sample videos. YouTube creators are reacting with shock because they do not recall having been to opt-in to giving away their content.
One person tweeted:
“This is pretty concerning – there is new permission added to YouTube allowing other creators to sample your videos for Shorts. I naively assumed this would only apply to new videos, but it’s auto-opted in all my content.”
YouTube then hides the opt-out menu under a “Show All” link and then forces a user to literally scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to elect to opt-out of sharing original content with YouTube Shorts creators.
How to Opt-Out Thousands of Videos?
A problem with how YouTube is handling opting out is that there appears to be no way to opt out an entire channel of videos.
That means that each video must be opted out of automatic sharing one by one.
That can be problematic for users with thousands of videos. If it takes one minute to opt out one video then it will take over 16 hours to opt out one thousand videos at a pace of one video per opted out per video.
There doesn’t seem to be a channel setting to opt out of this, so the only solution currently seems to be to manually untick this on every single video. Is there another solution to this @YouTubeCreators @YouTube?

YouTube Content Sampling for YouTube Shorts
The YouTube shorts program is not currently monetizable. YouTube Shorts creators can’t show ads on them. Also the short form nature of the Shorts videos prevents a creator from using an entire video, which is probably why the use of someone else’s content is called sampling.
All of those factors might cause the sampling to be viewed as fair use.
That said there appears to be no benefit from having ones content sampled by another content creator with a huge audience.
What do you think? Is it fair?
Facebook Faces Yet Another Outage: Platform Encounters Technical Issues Again
Uppdated: It seems that today’s issues with Facebook haven’t affected as many users as the last time. A smaller group of people appears to be impacted this time around, which is a relief compared to the larger incident before. Nevertheless, it’s still frustrating for those affected, and hopefully, the issues will be resolved soon by the Facebook team.
Facebook had another problem today (March 20, 2024). According to Downdetector, a website that shows when other websites are not working, many people had trouble using Facebook.
This isn’t the first time Facebook has had issues. Just a little while ago, there was another problem that stopped people from using the site. Today, when people tried to use Facebook, it didn’t work like it should. People couldn’t see their friends’ posts, and sometimes the website wouldn’t even load.
Downdetector, which watches out for problems on websites, showed that lots of people were having trouble with Facebook. People from all over the world said they couldn’t use the site, and they were not happy about it.
When websites like Facebook have problems, it affects a lot of people. It’s not just about not being able to see posts or chat with friends. It can also impact businesses that use Facebook to reach customers.
Since Facebook owns Messenger and Instagram, the problems with Facebook also meant that people had trouble using these apps. It made the situation even more frustrating for many users, who rely on these apps to stay connected with others.
During this recent problem, one thing is obvious: the internet is always changing, and even big websites like Facebook can have problems. While people wait for Facebook to fix the issue, it shows us how easily things online can go wrong. It’s a good reminder that we should have backup plans for staying connected online, just in case something like this happens again.

We asked ChatGPT what will be Google (GOOG) stock price for 2030
Investors who have invested in Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) stock have reaped significant benefits from the company’s robust financial performance over the last five years. Google’s dominance in the online advertising market has been a key driver of the company’s consistent revenue growth and impressive profit margins.
In addition, Google has expanded its operations into related fields such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. These areas show great promise as future growth drivers, making them increasingly attractive to investors. Notably, Alphabet’s stock price has been rising due to investor interest in the company’s recent initiatives in the fast-developing field of artificial intelligence (AI), adding generative AI features to Gmail and Google Docs.
However, when it comes to predicting the future pricing of a corporation like Google, there are many factors to consider. With this in mind, Finbold turned to the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT to suggest a likely pricing range for GOOG stock by 2030. Although the tool was unable to give a definitive price range, it did note the following:
“Over the long term, Google has a track record of strong financial performance and has shown an ability to adapt to changing market conditions. As such, it’s reasonable to expect that Google’s stock price may continue to appreciate over time.”
GOOG stock price prediction
While attempting to estimate the price range of future transactions, it is essential to consider a variety of measures in addition to the AI chat tool, which includes deep learning algorithms and stock market experts.
Finbold collected forecasts provided by CoinPriceForecast, a finance prediction tool that utilizes machine self-learning technology, to anticipate Google stock price by the end of 2030 to compare with ChatGPT’s projection.
According to the most recent long-term estimate, which Finbold obtained on March 20, the price of Google will rise beyond $200 in 2030 and touch $247 by the end of the year, which would indicate a 141% gain from today to the end of the year.
Google has been assigned a recommendation of ‘strong buy’ by the majority of analysts working on Wall Street for a more near-term time frame. Significantly, 36 analysts of the 48 have recommended a “strong buy,” while seven people have advocated a “buy.” The remaining five analysts had given a ‘hold’ rating.
The average price projection for Alphabet stock over the last three months has been $125.32; this objective represents a 22.31% upside from its current price. It’s interesting to note that the maximum price forecast for the next year is $160, representing a gain of 56.16% from the stock’s current price of $102.46.
While the outlook for Google stock may be positive, it’s important to keep in mind that some potential challenges and risks could impact its performance, including competition from ChatGPT itself, which could affect Google’s price.
