I recognize YouTube isn't popular and tends to get down votes. I'm not sure how else to share this. I think what OpenAI (and others) are trying to do to further rig the system in their favor and screw us needs to be known. So hopefully the information in the video gets out and we all have time to act.

BLUF (bottom line up front): OpenAI and others are targeting watchdogs and critics through subpoenas. They're trying to silence critics and kill legistaltion so they can reshape government in their favor. They are trying to push back regulations on AI in many areas to allow them to continue the path they're on. Public pressure is mounting for AI regulation and shit is about to get real.

This link plays on FreeTube, a non-tracking front end for YT. (https://freetubeapp.io/#download)

@BallShapedMan - I think there's way to automate a transcript of this video, as well. Some of us read much faster than a video transmits information.

    tends to get down votes

    I think you've gone the extra mile in actually mentioning what the video is about. On my instance, YouTube links just say "Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube" so half the time I have no idea what is even being posted.

    Oh I've been guilty of that. Makes a lot of sense!

    Feels like it's the phone call without the text of 10 years ago or the popin without a call in the 90s.

    I'm learning! Old people can learn, sometimes 😂

    Try alternative frontends such as NewPipe on Android, it'll show everything you subscribe to on your feed.

    You can download it on F-Droid
