Still I've been grateful for Youtube from learning about trading puts and calls, to installing Ubuntu on a 2018 desktop computer, to being able to troubleshoot and fix my vehicle.

Sure, it's fine for anything not really important.

It's been a real, very intentional effort, to dismantle the propaganda system that is fucking us all, and YouTube has picked the side of keeping that in operation. Fuck them.

Many folks have complained recently about Israel’s use of AI to pick targets in Gaza. I mean, what could go wrong? Well, apparently angst toward Israel may be misplaced. They probably got it from us, since the U.S. developed that technology first. The New York Times yesterday ran a remarkable, non-paywalled story headlined, “In Ukraine, New American Technology Won the Day. Until It Got Overwhelmed.” Actually, Google did it. For nine million dollars.

Here’s how the genesis of our robot overlords was described in the article:

Six years ago, the Silicon Valley giant signed a small, $9 million contract to put the skills of a few of its most innovative developers to the task of building an artificial intelligence tool that would help the military detect potential targets on the battlefield using drone footage.

Why is that an issue now? Israel got lots of was stuff from the US - the F-35s and other warplanes, bombs. munitions, and tons of dollars.

But check out the conflict of interest statement, a screenshot of which you can see in the tweet below from Natalie Winters. It shows that Metabiota Inc. received funding from Google, one of the world's most powerful and corrupt corporate entities. ...

Keep in mind that Google, as Winters also points out, heavily censored the "lab leak" theory of COVID when it first started to circulate. Perhaps Google was trying to protect itself from being implicated in the bioweapon's development?

It turns out that Google has been a silent partner of Daszak and EcoHealth for the better part of 14 some-odd years at least. A 2010 study on bat flaviviruses lists both Daszak and EcoHealth vice president Jonathan Epstein as authors – and like the 2018 study mentioned above, this 2010 study thanks Google for funding it.

Yet another paper on henipavirus spillover that was published in 2014 shows the same authors and funding from Google, demonstrating a lengthy relationship between these entities. ...

"It's no secret that Google regularly collaborates with intelligence agencies," wrote another, referring to Jigsaw, Google's intelligence agency, citing a 2021 report from Zero Hedge.

"They are a known NSA subcontractor. They launched Google Earth using a CIA spy satellite network. Their executive suite's revolving door with DARPA is well known."

Hahaha... I just restart using my roku controller. It usually takes zero to four starts to get a vidya going and with that simple controller it's super fast too. Much faster than trying that with a web browser. I do the same for adds in the middle of videos. It's not so much that I don't ever want to watch an add it's that I don't want to watch an add from that company that helps support it. There are rumble channels I watch the adds.
