I also am not a huge fan of a lot of Modern Corporations or AI. I will proudly display Clippy in my Profile.
Usage of GenAIs in most cases means you will run into "Use it or lose it". If you don't use parts of your brain you will RELY on GenAIs to do it. Learn how to learn instead of renting out parts of your brain to things like ChatGPT.
I prioritize Art over Profits.

Really fun video. It's very interesting hearing all the ways we could use audio to make things better. I have been wanting to make my own ringtones for my phone, so it's good to keep in mind not being obtrusive. I may have to make a whole suite of notification sounds for my phone, so I can tell what app is trying to notify me.
The pebble watch seems interesting too when it comes to smart watches.

@ludd Gen AI should be NO WHERE near schools. At least if schools is actually about learning at all and not training to be a capitalist slave.
At this point I don't respect a school if they start adding Generative AI (I know it may come from higher up at which point the disrespect goes to whoever made the decision)

@sinbad Actions causing nothing is so annoying. Another thing in RPGs that annoy me at least is the random instant death moves in a lot of JRPGs.
Like no count down or anything to prevent it just "BOOM insta death no matter how much health you have" that can get really annoying if done too often with no sort of timer.

@TechConnectify Just finished the video. I wasn't expecting to see an engine in a dishwasher, but it's a good video to learn how some stuff in the engine works especially since I have started driving more recently.
Now I am curious if you are going to make a video about how electric cars run with how often you mentioned them in this video. Or if I just missed when you posted a video on how electric car engines work.
Overall though I enjoyed the video and feel like I learned some good knowledge.

@davidrevoy Great Comic. It really gives the vibe of "Some types of AI are good, but not all." It's good to see it is as comedic as usual, but a little more towards the center on AI which is a good way to try and get more pro-AI people to see why people are Anti-AI.
Either way I love the comic as usual. Can't wait for the next one.
