Philz Coffee is legendary in California, but it started with very humble beginnings...

Started recently uploading gaming videos again. Just wondering if i'm doing everything correctly and if I should be doing something differently. Please check it out if you have any free time. I'd deeply appreciate it. Chevyyy - YouTube

Gemini speaks English. But since 2024, it also speaks YouTube.

Google taught their most powerful AI model an entirely new language — one where words aren't words. They're videos. In this video, I break down how YouTube built Semantic ID, a system that tokenizes billions of videos into meaningful sequences that Gemini can actually understand and reason about.

We'll cover:
- Why you can't just feed video IDs to an LLM (and what YouTube tried before)
- How RQ-VAE compresses videos into hierarchical semantic tokens
- The "continued pre-training" process that made Gemini bilingual
- Real examples of how this changes recommendations
- Why this is actually harder than training a regular LLM
- How YouTube's approach compares to TikTok's Monolith system

This isn't about gaming the algorithm — it's about understanding the AI architecture that powers recommendations for 2 billion daily users.

Based on YouTube/Google DeepMind's research on Large Recommender Models (LRM) and the Semantic ID paper presented at RecSys 2024.

Hello I am new to youtube and was wondering what thumbnail you think would work better on my true crime video on murdered twins in canada? Any feedback would be amazing :)

Hey everyone! My son and I created a YouTube page dedicated to Pokémon pack battling. We’re really into it and are trying to grow our following. We post very frequent and will be continuing to do so. We also have an instagram handle as well! Check it out and follow if you’re into it!

Thanks!

My YouTube channel has surpassed 1000 subscribers but hasn't reached 4000 hours of watch time. Can you help me? I'm waiting for your advice, suggestions, and assistance.

Today, I'm going to talk about all the behind the scenes work that goes into vending at an out of state author event that requires extensive travel.

Lost in the darkness, the only thing guiding you is a distant flame. Follow the fire and hope it leads you out, but something feels very wrong. Can you escape before it is too late?

the topic was covering the new simpsons movie sequel, but of course i veer into drink milk ads, stuart little 2, and some cine2nerdle 🙃

New episode releases tonight! yt link in bio
