My first thought upon reading this was that an LLM had been instructed to add a pithy meme joke to each paragraph. They don't make sense in context, and while some terminally online people do speak in memes, those people aren't quoting doge in 2025.
There's also a sense of incoherence in the whole piece. For instance, this section:
"- after: 22 million videos + 1 million images (now we're talking)
they basically hoovered up everything: something-something v2, kinetics, howto100m, and a billion youtube videos"
Was it a billion vids or 22m? It turns out the latter sentence is just rephrasing the list of sources in a cool casual way, and the last one is called YT-Temporal-1B. That's a billion frames of video, not a billion videos.
The research is very real but the blog post appears to be very fake.
If you’re in the US, you likely work with them and they have learned to studiously avoid talking about politics except in vagaries to avoid conflict.
Cringely, they are. Nobody who isn't desperate to appear cool would write in that terminally grating register, including when using an LLM to do the writing.
Could you explain what this means? Is this article quoting doge?
> very scientific. much engineering.
Emphasis on attempt because you're supposed to use words with grammatically incorrect modifiers, and the first one doesn't. (Even the second one doesn't seem entirely incorrect to me? I'm not a native speaker though.) "many scientific, so engineering" for example would have worked.
I assume they, or most likely their LLM, tried too hard to follow the most popular sequence (very, much, wow) and failed at it.
You may be surprised to find out how incorrect this.
I can think of two popular conservative sites likely to quote Doge people off hand that do this. I read all news in order not be an insufferable ideologue. So again, off the top of my head, NotTheBee (I think affiliated to BabylonBee (conservative The Onion)) and Twitchy. Among YouTubers, I think Asmond Gold, and I’m sure others like Steven Crowder who himself is in a famous meme.
That said… yea, you are probably right.
In my country, far righters are displaying the country’s flag everywhere. Now you can’t display a French flag without being thought as a far right person. That’s honestly insufferable.
I know it’s less important with doge but still : before being a crypto it was just a picture of an overly innocent and enthusiastic dog. And even when it became a little crypto, it was totally assumed that it was a meme coin and wasn’t meant for speculation, the idea was that 1DOGE = 1DOGE only and people gifted them to other people who made nice contributions on the internet.
Musk broke all of this when it started to use it to do gigantic pumps and dumps using his own visibility on Twitter.
We don’t have to let fascism steal all the popular symbols / memes, because they will steal them anyway.
Hasn't defined the term yet and I know I'm in for a hell of a ride.
Hello there! As a fellow gen-z douchebag, the article looks authentic, albeit a bit slim on Discord screencaps. Will be fun(?) to be proven wrong though.
