I should clarify that by "out of ideas", I mean that I've only got enough to last me until the end of March, or maybe the middle of April if lockdown eases. The way I work, that's close enough that I start to get worried.

the "impossible but fictional" video titles sound like HP lovecraft short stories

well, of course we don't know anything about such cliff, because it refuses to be one. successfully.

That car went by at just the right point in the sigmoid curve

I confused in my time but confusion is not a matter of time. Time is the contingency of YOU ARE ARRESTED ON 4 COUNTS OF PURDER. girst pt!!!

This ai is probably the mastermind behind half as interesting

"Nostalgia for a thing that never existed" is called conservatism

If the AI ever suggested the title of this video... is...would that pass the Turing test, or is that a fluke?

hypnospace outlaw - nostalgia for something that never existed

Some few of those are things that might come. They might exist... Ten years from now.

Google tells me that 'wistful' might be the world you're looking for when you mention nostalgia.

All cliffs refuse to be cliffs, they are continuously eroded by the water cycle. We just don't notice their desperation for suicide because it occurs on a geological time scale, not a human one. So please, have some empathy for the cliffs of the world for at some point they'll all have jumped into the sea.

6:45 there never was a failed russian utopia yet...

Might "The Cliff that refuses to be a Cliff" simply be someone who's named Cliff trying to change their legal name?

Half of these sounds like SCPs

you know what would've made this video great? if we found out that this video was suggested by an ai.

The best part of current gen AI is that it is absolutely hilarious, even when it works

and I thought creative takeover was a while down the line

"The cliff that refuses to be a cliff" had me laughing, and I just woke up. Someone needs to make that into a serious video.

There WAS a white square of ice in Antarctica

I mean Scheel's green contained deadly amounts of arsnic and it was developed during the dye industry boom which was part of the Industrial rev so it had something there.

"The White Cube at the End of the World" sounds like a rejected Exurb1a video

Anyone know where I can rent Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death?

DO THIS: HOW MANY HOLES DOES IT TAKE TO FILL THE ALBERT HALL?

Plot Twist: these videos are real in a parallel universe wich the AI connects to.

Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death

I love how you could make a channel entirely about castro and everything about him. Like the poisoned milkshake that failed cuz the pills cracked when frozen, or UBRE BLANCA

You should've had the AI write the script in this video

I really wanna learn about Jeremy Clarkson's lottery of death now

feelin existential dread from this for some reason

Anemoia is the name for nostalgia for something you've never experienced. the concept has a connotation of being for people who are younger than an event feeling nostalgia for said event. looking at popular "old style" letsplays or YT videos/website archives from when youtube/the internet was in its infancy. i think retro shooters play on this feeling heavily perhaps without realising the exact term.

Hold up... are you telling me it came up with the CIA plot to assassinate Castro with explosive sea shells but didn't even know it was true??

I can't believe I wasn't subscribed... Well, I'm now I guess

If Jeremy Clarkson's Lottery of Death isn't a real game show in the next few years I am going to mighty disappointed

cheater

Do your viewers know that kirbys dream is a videogame? I thought I'd see at least one comment about it by now but...

Did you honestly expect no one in *your* audience would recognise Helena Blavatsky as the picture of that Nondescript Russian Baroness.

Also, this is why we need critical thinking and to look for sources.

Adding a restriction that the stories be True ... that sounds a lot like the interplay between the different parts of the brain, where the frontal lobe filters impulses and exerts self-control. What GPT-3 has managed seems analogous to what our brains manage during Dreaming or creative efforts like stringing together Poetry. An artist will apply rules to filter and rearrange concepts, but those are based on a World Model that the "AI" simply doesn't have yet. It doesn't have a concept of how things work; it only spots relationships.

Nostalgia for a thing that never existed: Resonance - Home

are you boxing yourself in with "what works"

GPT-3 access gang

You could try to make something like "Tom Scott Fictional" where there would be the fictional sotries animated or recorded like in 5:54 . Just an idea.

haha britain colonize moon

wait Tom the word is just fantasy 😭

7:15 that car timing was perfect

"I don't think there's a word in the English language for 'nostalgia for a thing that never existed'." I'm sure the Germans have one lying around somewhere.

Wow! That's crazy!

T. Scott: I don't think English has a word for "nostalgia for things that have never existed" Finland/Germany: Hold my kyykkyviini

2:07 …also known as “At Least One Fight Scene From Every Tokusatsu Ever”

"The British Road That is Also A Boat" a car ferry or pontoon bridge

7:08 This was the most perfectly planned audio I've heard in a while Too bad it wasn't

All of the ideas you say don't work, I am interested in. I had no idea about any of them.

'I don't think there is a word for nostalgia for something that doesn't exist' Vaporwave Aesthetics, anemoia, Liminal Images You're welcome.

2:43 I'd love to see this

This is 2 minute papers with doctor karoly-zolnai-fehér.

Tell me more of this Russian utopia in Yorkshire

This is perfect for HUeye LetsPlay Channels who need to push endless streams of videos and merch on young audiences who would be better off watching you, Tom.

Do some DIY stuff!

I suppose the closest thing to nostalgia for things that never were would be the mandela effect

“The British Road That Is Also A Boat” ...so a hydrofoil then? 🤔

At the "the green death and the industrial revolution" thing I was thinking of the DW episode "the crimson horror"

Plot twist: Those video titles weren't actually fiction...

"Nostalgia for a thing that never existed" is called _rilirin_ in the language of dwarves in a webseries called Worth The Candle, a rational LitRPG story. Worth checking out by the way, it won't appeal to everyone but for those with the right taste it's absolutely amazing.

I think "nostalgia for things that never existed" is called hauntology?

What if it turns out all those stories are in fact real and nobody beside GPT-3 knows yet?

Anemoia, Hiraeth and Vaporwave are words for nostalgia of a time that never happened (Courtesy of comments)

Be amazing as evaa @Tom Scott

I wonder will there be ai tinder profiles and ppl will be catfished by some 1s and 0s

The British Road that is also a boat: Isn't that the Isle of Wight Chain Ferry?

5:25 in German there ist a word for this. ;-)

"A word for nostalgia for a thing that never existed" - Not-stalgia? Non-stalgia? Lostalgia?

Don't get me wrong but road that is also a boat sounds like a interesting video to me :)

Lofthouse is asking you to drive safely, because of the invisible things there... Don't be stupid, sheeple

I asked an AI for video ideas, and they were actually good continues to talk about the AI

I think you're looking for the word 'anemoia'- It means "nostalgia for a time you've never known". Close enough, I'd say.

I'm guessing your animator want British, the flag isn't right

Nostalgia for a thing that could have existed Is often Hauntology

Plot twist: This entire script to this video was written by the AI

"the white cube at the end of the world" haha what nonsense *sweats in blender*

i honestly wouldn't mind if Tom made a video about a bridge over a motorway or about a warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

Communist AI confirmed

Heres a word for that felling "Saudade"

The dream of a Russian utopia in East Yorkshire let’s go

*Next Video Idea:* _How to look 8, 18, 48 and 68 at the same time._

Where is the location you found of the beach where you can hear the sea? Or did you just edit the audio in afterward?

*invest another 10k into AI research fields*

Tom scott had other things to be worried about, now that we have a generated tom scott, and a video script generator

i bet that AI will be free at the end of the year.

TOM FULP IS THE IMPOSTER

02:21 The British Road That Is Also A Boat is not nonsense - boat means "Byeway Open to All Traffic"

Well, the words "there never was any Russian utopia" may hurt some people more than you might've though.

"The Airport That Lands Planes On Water." Wendover Productions has entered the chat.

At the end there, I thought you were going to say _...when that happens, my job will get a bit harder..._ After all, you'll have much more competition.

I hate how this could be editors used to smear you name and credible it’s as a reporter and as long as the voice was loud and the ring anuff it would make people hate your and you followers anyways despight that it’s a great video I love your work

well there is always the option of starting a second channel for coding/mathematics teaching. i feel like if you did videos like Ben Eater about whatever sciences that interest you it would probably take off.

"They would be wonderful to make, but I can't, because they're not true", says the guy who's already done a video about the AI virus that deleted a century, and the day Google stopped checking passwords

*ALTSTALGIA*

What about the bird statues of cumbria that start at maryport roman museum they are mostly in perfect condition and left by romans
