if it's 1 monthly video and thus 120 videos (or so) you could try recall (getrecall.ai not recall.ai that is a similar product with a similar name). They summarize youtube videos, but you get the transcript. AFAIK you cannot batch the processing and you have to add each video one by one, that's why 100 or 200 videos is doable but probably not thousands.
From the article it looks like they are working on that too
> To fully eradicate the disease, cases in animals (infected by the same species of worm) must also be wiped out. In 2025, animal cases were detected in Chad (147 cases), Mali (17), Cameroon (445), Angola (70), Ethiopia (1), and South Sudan (3).
Those are bonkers (low) numbers compared to the 3.5M (human?) cases if I'm to believe the GPs comment.
It's also crazy how much Mother Theresa's quote rings true, even in reverse ("If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at the one, I will.") When I initially read 3.5M cases, I thought "wow, that's a lot", and somehow the 445 animal cases in Cameroon felt (at first) more real and similarly "a lot".
No comment other than interesting how our human brains work and distort how numbers "feel".
Once my rational brain kicked in, realized that's over 5,000 years for the current number of animal cases to match the former number of human cases. The future is awesome.
It was a somewhat recent discovery that there were animal reservoirs escaping detection. Carter had hoped to outlive the worm, but it was thought that the animal pools were going to make full eradication take an additional 20 years.
glancing at the wikipedia page on the topic it seems that it is limited to dogs, cat and baboons, and animal hosts have been only proved in the 2010s, so I guess they are unlikely to become infected by the parasite
How can you reliably eradicate it from wild animals? Sounds like an impossible task if there is no broad treatment we could put in the water or something.
I think the worm reproduce better in humans, so if we can cut humans the population in other animals will hopefully decrease. (And probably add a plan to identify and capture infected animals, to ensure this.)
You are right. Wikipedia write it is limited to dogs, cat and baboons, and that animal hosts have been only proved in the 2010s, so I guess they are unlikely to become infected by the parasite
It probably helps that the worms don't care. That is, a worm whose ancestors lived in dogs can live in a human no problem and vice versa.
If you eradicate GWD in your region but, eh, not in dogs, well people in your region keep getting GWD anyway. But if you eliminate it entirely you're just done. So that's a strong incentive to ensure the latter.
Most drastic options are probably available in the afflicted countries than would be acceptable in many places that haven't had GWD for a hundred years or more. If you tell the population of rural France that military and police are going to start shooting wild animals dead as a disease control measure there will be mass protests. But in South Sudan hey, at least you aren't proposing to shoot all the members of some minority ethnic group.
It's legal to fly a civil craft over other countries but it doesn't mean there are no rules. The article touches the subject a bit at the end but doesn't go very much into details so I guess it's either a thought experiment or a planned in a future far enough that it is not relevant yet
Reminds me of that time when Nintendo's stock exploded after the launch of Pokemon go, only for traders to discover a few hours later that Niantic actually owned the game and correct the situation.
Nintendo is one of the three 1/3 owners in The Pokemon Company and an early investor in Niantic. I'd be curious how much was actually confusion as to who is making money vs just a normal hype cycle. I'd also be curious how much the game itself made the various owners vs what Nintendo made on the general interest in other Pokemon games/merchandise from the launch.
At the very least, the stock looks to have shot up for most of the launch month with the peak not occuring until July 18th and the stock still being significantly higher at the end of the month https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NTDOY/history/?period1=14673...
I think the funniest bit of pure confusions was "Zoom Technologies (ZOOM)" being mistaken for "Zoom Video (ZM)" at the start of the pandemic to the point the SEC halted its trading on concerns around the confusion being the only reasonable driver. https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/zoom-technol...
The Zoom story is even crazier. The idea of the SEC needing to step in because traders were absolute idiots throwing their money away is laughable.
Let the traders burn their cash if they're too stupid to Google a stock's name, I say. Let them prove that the markets are intelligently driven and not just gambling for those under the influence of cocaine on the job.
A quick way to make me not respect someone's economic opinion is to mention the "Efficient Market Hypothesis." This should be buried 7 palms underground.
That's an interesting paradox of the current AI: useful enough to make the industry less competent (either directly by helping students to not learn or indirectly by replacing people in entry level formative jobs) while not being smart enough to replace all the chain to the top
