It is so annoying. Reading is so much faster than video and comprehension from reading is much better, too.
If you can write a script for a video, you can at least post it with your video.

The worst thing about online learning is that everything has become a video. -
Yesterday we had some elderly people over for our bday and at some point we talked about billionaires and how they should not existPeople who started out in the boom years before the Reagan/Thatcher reaction, when taxes on the rich prevented the emergence of billionaires and there was funding for social goods and services, have lost perspective. It's the baseline fallacy: they just assume what they had is normal.
And admitting things are different now would mean acknowledging that all the reactionary tax cuts and roll-backs of social benefits they voted for were at the expense of others. It would mean they were selfish. Not intentionally, of course: but they bought the BS.

I’m genuinely fascinated by this whole phenomenon of AI-induced psychosis.'n'nThere are a few things I can’t wrap my head around.@atomicpoet Even people who are normally sensible enough to distrust psychics will trust ChatGPT — because it’s more ‘neutral’ or ‘the future’ or something — but it’s the same predictability process.
A person perceives what they want to believe and disregards the rest. (To paraphrase Paul Simon.)
