   I've noticed that too. My computer hobby educates me, and I'm building   
   something cool during the process. But when I see people wasting the day away   
   on videos that dis-educate them, it makes me realize that their psych is being   
   wasted and that they could and should be doing something creative as well.

   This is a good theory. I've heard about AI processors demanding more power,   
   but I'm not sold on the reasons given for it, similar to how I'm not sold on   
   the need for accelerated graphics in web browsing. I am sold on the fact that   
   the elite want as much information about us as possible, and it's perfectly   
   logical to use that as a basis when trying to decode their secretive behavior.   
      
   It's suspicious how I stumbled upon the issue with my web browser, of all   
   things. It would have been more compelling if I got the alert through an OS   
   update instead "The latest version of Debian doesn't work with your outdated   
   GPU." But Chrome/Edge giving me that message? Very suspicious.

    RL> unsaid part is 'collecting data about everything you do/go/say'.   
      
   That's it. And this information they collect is surely going to be used in   
   their effort to control us.
