Early Access: Welcome to AI Hell (Patreon)

I cannot believe how relevant this video became in a matter of days. This has been on my back burner for a while, but I finally decided to film and edit in July. In this video, I convey my fears and anger about Generative AI and Big Tech and fill you in on recent developments. Enjoy early access, and thank you for being a patron <3

Important Note: Because of the content of this video, I'm not sure how it will perform in the algorithm, so please comment, hype, share, and watch the video for AT LEAST 30 seconds (though in full is better) when it goes live on my channel. Even if you have your device on silent and/or don't plan to watch anytime soon. I appreciate it!!
