I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.


I suspect that OpenAI is on a path to spend as much money on data centers and hardware as possible so they can go bankrupt and sell those assets to Microsoft for pennies on the dollar.
It’s a scheme to filter billions and billions of dollars around the “AI everything” hype train directly into Microsoft’s coffers.
Oh shit, yeah I also was thinking about how the people paying for these huge investments might not be the ones to profit from the venture finally, if it ever pays for itself.
The other factor to consider is the US government is going to bail them out, that is just absolutely going to happen, but I think you are on to something, idk whom is going to be the beneficiary exactly though.
