Not just AI, but I recognized the use of it to create music videos featuring leaders. “Iran so far away” was a very popular video from months ago that racked up millions of views on YouTube.
And the creator is about as obviously a fascist as they could be without stating it outright.
Fascists clearly do not mind anybody who just memes on the people in power.
It’s been enlightening to see how many people lash out at you personally, using the sleights they hope you’d consider most offensive, in response to your opinions on a technology.
A lot of people trust him, for some reason.
We appear to agree that AI simply increases the amount of energy usage rather than supplanting it, and that energy-intensive AI data centers are the norm for AI usage (such as the use OP is talking specifically about).
I didn’t realize people shut off their computers after having AI do something they might not have otherwise done anyway. Brains, yes. Computers, no.

I can only imagine what it’s like to remove the former and pile on heaps more of the latter

I like this one, it’s plenty quick, and it doesn’t sit atop a whole web browser. (For desktops, I use SumatraPDF which is similarly snappy.)

I don’t think it’s possible to argue Rossman isn’t some degree of personally transphobic (for context, his video is about Brianna Titone, who is the first openly transgender state legislator elected in Colorado, and he is clearly referencing some degree of disagreement with her identity).
That much being said, he’s highlighting, to conservatives in his own audience, the fact that he wants to be both respectful and actually look beyond those personal beliefs to affect positive change. And based on his larger corpus of work, I don’t think that’s dishonest in any way.
Rossman doesn’t use his influence to lobby against trans rights. I don’t even think anybody would have known he had some personal issues until he mentioned them in a specific example that encourages people to set their own issues aside, for a positive cause.

The mass-extinction causing orphan-crushing torment nexus is a tool, just like other tools we use.
Well, obviously! Microsoft is using this tool too, and as we can all observe, that’s making their competing OS much better and much more desirable.
“GIMP can technically do this” should be its tagline.
That’s how I felt when I discovered non-destructive layer transformations are (technically) possible
At a bare minimum, it would be nice for users to tag their projects accordingly. You could, with a glance, realize there wouldn’t be a point in investing your time/energy into a project that the creator had less investment in, themselves.
