About The Power of Intelligence - An Essay By Eliezer Yudkowsky
The Power of Intelligence is an essay published by Eliezer Yudkowsky in 2007. Now, a few points: Sorting Pebbles Into Correct Heaps was about the orthogonality thesis. A consequence of the orthogonality thesis is that powerful artificial intelligence will not necessarily share human values. This video is about just how powerful and dangerous intelligence is. These two insights put together are a cause for concern. If humanity doesn't solve the problem of aligning AIs to human values, there's a high chance we'll not survive the creation of artificial general intelligence. This issue is known as "The Alignment Problem". Some of you may be familiar with the paperclips scenario: an AGI created to maximize the number of paperclips uses up all the resources on Earth, and eventually outer space, to produce paperclips. Humanity dies early in this process. But, given the current state of research, even a simple goal such as βmaximize paperclipsβ is already too difficult for us to program reliably into an AI. We simply don't know how to aim AIs reliably at goals. If tomorrow a paperclip company manages to program a superintelligence, that superintelligence likely won't maximize paperclips. We have no idea what it would do. It would be an alien mind pursuing alien goals. Knowing this, solving the alignment problem for human values in general, with all their complexity, appears like truly a daunting task. But we must rise to the challenge, or things could go very wrong for us.

The YouTube Live View Counter explained
What the YouTube Live View Counter does
The YouTube Live View Counter tracks the view count on a single video and refreshes it about every three seconds, the fastest cadence we run. When a big upload or a premiere goes live, YouTube's own view count updates in slow, lumpy jumps and freezes for stretches while it verifies views. This tool reads the public figure far more often, so you see the number climb in something close to real time.
Under the main view count you get three more live stats for the same video: likes, dislikes, and comments. The dislike figure is worth calling out. YouTube hid the public dislike count in 2021, and this counter brings back an estimate so you can still gauge how a video is landing, not just how many people opened it.
How to use it
Want the counter on a stream or a watch-party page? The embed option gives you a widget you can drop in. Want to race two videos, maybe a music video against its rival's? The compare tool puts both view counts side by side.
- 1Paste the video's URL, or search for it by title. A full YouTube link is the surest way to land on the exact video you mean.
- 2Confirm the right video from the results, since popular titles get copied and reuploaded constantly.
- 3Watch the view count climb. The likes, dislikes, and comments update alongside it, and the chart tracks the pace over time.
Why the count moves the way it does
View counting on YouTube is stricter than subscriber counting. YouTube checks that a view is a real person watching, not a bot or an accidental reload, which is why a brand-new video's count can stick at a suspiciously round number before it lurches forward. What you see here mirrors that. During a premiere or a viral spike the number races. Once the initial rush fades it settles into a steadier pace.
All of it is public. This is the same view count sitting on the video's page, pulled more often and shown without the delay YouTube adds when it is busy verifying. We do not inflate anything or add views. We just make the real number easier to watch as it changes.
Reading the chart
The chart under the counter plots every reading, so its slope is a live read on how fast the video is gaining views. A steep climb in the first hour is the sign of a video the algorithm is pushing hard. When the slope flattens, the initial rush is over. Turn on Advanced Metrics to add the total views gained since you opened the page and an average per-minute rate. That is the quickest way to tell a genuine breakout from a video that opened fast and then stalled.
The likes and comments moving in step with views tell you something too. A video gaining views but almost no likes is spreading without landing. Strong likes and comments alongside a climbing view count is the shape of a video people actually care about.
The moments people show up for
A new music video from a major artist is the classic case. Fans open the counter the second it drops to watch the first million, then the first ten million, roll in over the opening hours. Records get set and broken this way, and a live counter is the only place to feel the pace rather than read the recap.
The same goes for anything chasing a landmark. A video creeping toward a billion views pulls a crowd who want to catch the odometer flip. Creators use it too, watching how a fresh upload gathers views in its first hour to judge whether it is breaking out.
Common questions
Why does the count sometimes freeze? YouTube pauses public view counts while it verifies that new views are real, usually on fast-moving videos around round numbers. The counter reflects whatever YouTube is showing, so it freezes when YouTube does, then catches up in a jump.
Where does the dislike number come from? YouTube removed the public dislike count in 2021. The estimate here is built from the data that was public before the change plus ongoing signals, so treat it as a strong estimate rather than an exact figure. Likes and comments stay exact, because those are still public.
Does it work for any video, and is it free? Any public video works. Private, unlisted, or restricted videos that hide their stats cannot be tracked, because the numbers are not public. It is free, with no sign-up. Ads keep it running. Paste a video link and watch.
