I’ve noticed that there’s a lot of smallish Youtube channels that are now using text-to-voice narration with AI generated voices using apps like Canva and others. I can often tell it’s AI generated when certain oddball pronunciations happen in the narration. Youtube itself is struggling with all the AI generated content that’s been cropping up. Voice narration is one thing, but AI generated images and music can often be difficult for Youtube to algorithmically detect and flag. I believe Youtube themselves require that content creators indicate when content is AI generated in the video description so viewers can make informed decisions about it. But of course not many content creators do this and a lot of AI slop is still ending up high in their ranking indexes.
That’s a good video. The Webb is totally throwing cosmology into chaos, which is a really good thing. It looks like we’ve been stuck in a model for over a hundred years since Hubble that may be totally wrong. I’m beginning to suspect the Big Bang didn’t happen. Still, any new model has to account for the observed “expansion” via redshifts and also the cosmic background radiation sitting at 2.3 K.
I wish I was 20 years younger. I’m anxious to see what someone comes up with to explain all this new data. But, I’m afraid I may be gone by the time that happens.
kind of a local story,* and the byline is unreliable, fwiw

These charlatans that are questioning the “standard model” of the universe and its origins are simply science deniers.
Time to bring into the fray Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, John Kerry to set things right.
The science of cosmology is settled.
its a fascinating hypothesis, how much factual basis one finds,

The video is recent, but seems dated. Things have settled quite a bit in the last year. The thing the sticks in my mind is that the black holes found in the center of most (all?) galaxies seem to comprise a larger percentage of the mass in the very old galaxies. There have also been a lot of stars found in a dim cloud around galaxies that were not seen before because of thresholding in the data processing pipelines. In any case, I think the revolution has been overhyped.

I thought exactly the same.
National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and his deputy, are out. This is apparently over the Signal mistake.
More about the jet lost overboard on the Harry S. Truman. Around the 5 minute mark there is some, I assume, stock footage of an aircraft carrier making an evasive maneuver. Wow. It’s a wonder everything doesn’t slide overboard!
If you think it’s outdated, please give a link to something explaining in what way. It is my understanding that the basic contention – that there is something off in our theories of the early universe and especially galaxy formation – remains the case. And that the Hubble constant discrepancy (tension) remains.
Current cosmology is in deep trouble, pun intended. Its dark matter and dark energy theories remind me of the epicycles inserted to try to get the Ptolemaic earth centric model of the solar system to fit data. The current situation is truly outlandish with these theories claiming that the matter that we can observe only represents about 5% of the matter in the universe. Despite decades of searching for particles of these forms of matter, none has been observed. It will be interesting to see what epicycles the cosmologists insert to try to explain these observations.
So just saw a post from one of the lefty friends who was excited to join the local May Day protest. In a fit of cluelessness, he stated he was joining the protest as the “White House is looking more and more like the Kremlin.”
Sigh….how can one even try to talk sense into someone who doesn’t even understand what May 1 means in the communist world?
The leftist media are gleefully claiming that Mike Waltz was “forced out” of his position. They leave out the fact that he has been nominated to be the United Nations Ambassador.
Well things are moving pretty fast in cosmology, which is weird in itself. The video isn’t dated in the sense that it has been superseded by new info. The galaxy at the focus – Zhulong – is newly discovered, but its specialness is spiral structure so early in the universe. But spiral structure way too early isn’t new. That’s among the first things Webb saw in its deep runs. So, other than focusing on Zhulong, the video could have been made two years ago.
The latest and greatest info on the topic is here, which I linked to a few weeks ago.
As I said at the time, galaxies in the very early universe that are “too mature” has always referred to size and shape. Now they believe they have seen heavy elements in one of these galaxies. Scientists are pretty confident in the process whereby heavier elements get produced, and it’s a process that would take hundreds of millions of years.
