I was about to argue with you and toss out a bunch of ad hominems on you, but then I looked it up and by golly you’re right. I’m one of the 10,000 today it seems.

Okay now let’s ask it to write anti ransomware. My guess is it will help with that too. And then the balance is struck and the obvious becomes obvious: AI is a tool to enhance all aspects of our lives. But instead we seem to only hear about the ways we should be fearful and worried about it.

This is an adorable show of optimism.

Why limit to fusion? Ask for the optimal energy production solution, period. Might be something we never thought of.

Electrical tape is classier.

You will never get the sympathy for YouTube that you’re looking for. Not as long as the ads keep being so blatantly offensive and irrelevant, and while they continue to dangle their power over the users and content creators, who ultimately make them what they are.

No one cares about their hosting fees. You’re right that it’s expensive to keep the necessary servers and bandwidth, but you’re wrong that people will care because of the lack of care YouTube has shown. On the other hand, paying for something like HBO Max, for example, is a thousand times more justifiable. Look at the novel content they actually create. They also host that content, but that’s not why people pay.

I think people go to the ends of the earth to block ads that are offensive or irrelevant. Some people block any ad because of the history of offensiveness and irrelevance that ads from the majority of services have been. Ads can be those things for lots of reasons. Too many, too long, too often repeated, actually offensive, annoying, distracting, insulting to your intelligence, conflict of interest, against the grain of the content they infest, just to name a few… But instead of advancing that front, services like YouTube would rather just cram them down your throat, and then block you if you object. Ultimately YouTube needs users. Nothing works without the users. The ads only even make money because of the users…

They should be giving us massages and making our stay as pleasant as possible… instead they are power-tripping because they think we need their bullshit, but we don’t.

Difference is those other networks actually make content thats arguably seen as worth paying for. YouTube recycles user content and barely pays those users for it. Yes you can say that they deserve your money for servers and whatnot, but you can’t compare YouTube with those other services you mentioned and expect people to cry big crocodile tears…

Thank you. I think it was overused even the moment it was used for its intended purpose. It feels really im14andthisisedgy to me.

Arms dealers always win.
