I'm not even gonna watch the video with such a clickbaity title as that... Yikes.

[–] Misk@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've watched it and I don't even know if it is clickbaity to be honest. It seems pretty on the money to me.

Even if the title is 100% accurate to the content of the video, the title is still clickbaity, as it definitely has emotional language in it designed to capture the attention of viewers. Also, the exclamation mark.

Rob Braxman is not a reliable source and shouldn't be trusted in the least

[–] Misk@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Could you give a bit more detail as to why this is? Genuine question from someone who has only recently discovered his channel and enjoying the content so far.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He constantly promotes his own products even though the privacy of said products is dubious at best and certainly not better than main stream solutions

[–] Misk@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Agreed, the constant Braxing is a bit Sus and annoying but i guess that's why god gave us Sponsorblock 😛

In terms of the info presented in his videos though I have been learning a lot from the channel. The way I see it even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day.

Micro$oft have decades collaborating with the CIA, I wouldn't be surprised if they are already using the "AI" stuff to spy over their userbase and send the info directly to the NSA and the CIA.

Anyway, I have years WO using M$ software. So just another good reason for the people to install Linux.

If you go over his older videos, he actually predicted a lot of the stuff that is happening. People were ridiculing him for "client side scanning" etc. now its a reality.

Everything is possible if you theorize on an hourly basis.

I planned out a design, with peers for an "adaptive AI" in 2018 that was very similar to the current gpt. Should I become a Delphi or a 'future guesser'

[–] mahony@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

So tell me what are some things that he talked about that never happened?

Braxman's content is pure scam

I'm not so sure. Can you really trust Big Tech with your data?
