If you used AI to generate the blog post, did you use AI to generate the screenshots and story?
I'm not against using AI for writing at all but you want to be careful that the output doesn't contain too much of this noise over signal type of wording that repeats and wants to just sell you something.
It's not X, it's Y. And repetitions of three.
"If you want human attention show human effort" or something in that direction. I think this fits here just right.
But the haters are going to hate.
If you had not used AI to fix your post, I bet the top post will be complaining about your grammar.
Some people will always find something negative. Simple as that.
I'm glad to hear the voice is yours, and I apologize for assume it was the AI's.
Not everyone who has something interesting to say is a good writer, and I think it's great if AI can help them tell their stories.
I don't know about you, but I'd love to read a fascinating story written by a relatively poor writer. But if they can't be bothered to write, I assume the story can't be that good.
During COVID, lots of live shows (concerts, etc.) in Japan moved to streaming (and most of them stuck, so thanks to that, lots of large concerts today have real-time streaming, which is great for foreign fans).
Out of 10+ platforms, more than half have vulnerabilities that allow you to access the content freely (sometimes including the rehearsals, because they are also streamed internally), and on a handful, you can access the admin panel and, as the author said, stream whatever you want.
Most of them have been patched over the years (some are just the byproduct of them changing the backend/SaaS provider, though), but there remain some major providers where you can get content for free.
> I did not touch any of these controls. But they were there. Functional.
I really needed to push myself to read because it was very interesting and thank you, for doing the work and sharing.
One question though, how do you know your feed would kick off the 'real' feed if you pushed to RTMP, does it just take the most recent connection as live? Does the protocol have a mechanism for dealing with multiple people pushing to the same endpoint? There maybe more checking on that endpoint and if course I'm sure most live broadcasters would have a live director to cut any feeds at their end if a dodgy feed popped up too.
A huge vulnerability nonetheless and a great write up!
No hate on the author, but LLMs just have such an annoying and overdramatic way of phrasing things. The content is worth reading, I enjoyed it! It would just be even better if it hadn't been turned into such a slog to read through.
What I don't understand is this: 'Show sincerity'—that is, a human value. If it were AI-generated, stitched-together false content, I'd understand, but I see quite a few interesting points.
Whenever I see things like this, I always think of Sturgeon's law: 90% is bad, and only 10% is interesting. I get that most AI-generated content is AI slop. But even back when only humans could write, there were plenty of clickbait articles.
I agree that GEN AI spam content is generally bad, and I also agree that some of it may lack effort. But honestly, I'm not sure this content is completely meaningless.
Regardless of the packaging, if the content inside is interesting and valuable enough, I think that's what matters. I guess we just see things quite differently.
So what I'm saying is, I don't agree with the idea that he didn't care at all.
Love your writing skills as well!
> I closed it immediately. But the damage was done (to my brain).
Laughed so hard when I read this one :D
> Love your writing skills as well!
I‘d say it was heavily AI assisted
> Server says "here's everything"
hahahaha
> Hire me (just kidding... unless?)
FIFA is a legendarily awful organization. In my weaker moments reading your piece I thought to myself how nice it would have been if someone more ruthless than you had been made an example of them.
FIFA gets disproportionate amount of attention and, ofc, high-level corruption scandals, but I would say it's more like a by-product of the sheer scale of the football, and not a problem with FIFA itself. I believe most sports federations in the world are very far from FIFA in terms of governance, but also from facing problems that FIFA has.

Holy shit, Rickrolling is among the more harmless things you could have done with that.
Would you really want to work for one of the world’s most notoriously corrupt organizations?
It's just that this one in particular lacks one more edit pass removing some of the AI noise on branding-speak and needless repetition (AI tends to list things and beat the point).
Honestly, no need to write 4000 words if the story can be told in 400. The story is what matters, not word count or "flow".
I'm positive that a post complaining about the grammar would've been (rightfully) downvoted to oblivion on this site.
We can adjust our expectations for people to take some time to make the output theirs.
OTOH, and this is me arguing against myself, maybe this is not too different than the million web sites we saw using the unmodified default bootstrap theme.
I guess my opinions as well as the response of the community are still evolving.
I disagree wholeheartedly. I'm not a machine. I'm a thinking, feeling, human being.
As a mathematician, I can certainly appreciate precise formulations. They have their place. But this is not that place.
> Not everybody can write well, and this guy clearly had something to tell, and that is what matters.
I'm sadenned that he wouldn't tell it in his way. I'd much rather read his own (poorly written?) words.
The Unicode arrows is also something Claude is using really often: “Camera -> RTMP ingest -> MediaKind -> broadcast partners -> your TV.”
And the table at the end is such a Claude thing.
The general style, a series of short sentences that feel like they are building up a punchline is what tells me it’s Claude, but the whole thing does stink of LLM generation
