Got home and looked in to these. They’re all for mobile, huh? I don’t really have an issue using youtube.com in a browser on mobile, at least I can block ads that way.

I spend a lot of time on big screen (linux) for youtube.

What a name!

Very interesting. Some things to tinker with this weekend! Thanks

I removed the email account from my Google account years ago and I run Graphene, which I hope will weather the storms. This is possible to do by the way. The only thing I still use a google account for is subscriptions. For a while I was able to use FreeTube to get away from that, but it’s been shaky at best in the past few months. I should try it again.
The minute there’s an alternative to YouTube, a real, meaningful one- which I’m not sure is possible, I’m deleting the google account entirely.

Silly youngen! Coffee doesn’t go in the fridge! It goes in your mouth before it gets cold!

sucked into its falsehoods

And its setting for “always be supportive”. There I completely agree. Sycophancy in today’s AIs is horrifying.

Careful with that logic. Many people feel that way about real ai right now and it has destroyed lives. Not that big of a leap today to compare the two.

The scene in Blade Runner 2049: The moment he realizes the advertisement called him Joe and it was all a lie, and decides to do the right thing any way. Can’t seem to find an unedited clip.

I love to hate it. Made me think of _TNG sorry- Generations: Data at the bar, THAT’S IT! I HATE THIS!
