TL;DR: Turns out he gave a sheet.
I bet you were blocked from winning. In fact, if you look closely at this conspiracy theory you'll see that all the pieces line up!
Every journey begins with a single step.
I've seen this movie I think.
"Carbon monoxide" is just another phrase police use to hide supernatural events a la "gas leak".
Ah but we'll never run out of electricity. We will run out of oil.
Furthermore, adding new electric capacity is easy in comparison to adding more oil infrastructure.
I didn't watch the video but... Why TF did he choose Pop! OS with Cosmic Desktopβ½ That's not something a non-technical user would choose. That's like... Beta software (Cosmic) running on a Linux distro made and tested for very specific hardware sold by System76.
That's like trying to put wheels made for a truck on a random sedan. Like, yeah you can do that with a bit of effort but why? It makes no sense.
If you're going to put a Linux distro on random hardware pick something universal and stable that was made to run on random hardware like Kubuntu/Ubuntu. Especially if you're new to Linux.
Also, if you're going to do something ridiculous like this why not just start with Gentoo? Don't use the GUI installer either! Go the LFS+ route and take care picking your file systems and compile flags π
BTW: Out of all the random people I've ever known to "try Linux", the ones who had the best first-time experience all used KDE (Plasma) as their desktop. That means Kubuntu, Bazzite, or SteamOS. For newbies, always go with KDE. Seriously: Its interface for settings and the launcher are familiar enough to both Windows and Mac users that they don't have a hard time while also being different enough that they don't make bad assumptions about how things work (which is a problem for Gnome).
Want gas to be cheaper? Get more people to buy electric cars!
If it relies on SIM cards that means it doesn't work at all with regular computers or when the device connects over WiFi, right? Seems kinda useless.
Of course, all age verification checks on the Internet are useless regardless but this Japanese method seems extra useless.
There will be an explosion of AI services like ChatGPT that do exactly the same thing but much cheaper. They'll run FOSS AI models that didn't cost them billions of dollars to train and run on purpose-built hardware (i.e. not GPUs). "Big AI" will pivot to government contracts.
As that fifth year comes around, companies will be announcing products that have these purpose-built chips inside them that can do a whole heck of a lot of stuff without requiring a constant connection to the Internet. Think: Toys, appliances, and very fancy cars.
Every single piece of software will have been rewritten by AI so many times with so many clones it'll be hard to distinguish good stuff from bad. The situation will become so problematic that every app store/repo will insist upon some kind of supply chain certification and possibly 3rd party verification.
AI tools that search the Internet on behalf of the user will crush ad-based businesses like Google and Meta. The AI will automatically filter out the ads and other cruft from search results and return just the search results the user wanted in the first place. This will result in free search engines becoming even worse and paid search will become a necessity. It'll probably get incorporated into plans like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc bundled plans where you pay for a certain amount of photo storage/whatever and get premium search as part of the bundle.
