Absolutely, this is what is going to happen when the average person gets to use AI- "well, the computer says..."

Why would they? When the tariffs go into effect, companies can raise prices.

When the tariffs get rolled back, companies can enjoy the increased revenue by not lowering their prices back down.

This is a great deal for them, so they'll keep donating to Trump.

I recently did a rewatch where I replaced the audio in 'Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite' with Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'. It really changed the experience for me. Going into 20+ minutes of psychedelic rock after over 100 minutes of classical music really made it feel like a transformative experience.

You cannot "get away" from politics. Burying your head in the sand will not insulate you from what is happening.

I'm replacing my Roku TV with a Google TV next month so I can take advantage of these as well, it's been a pain having them only on my phones/computers.

I swapped to Revanced on mobile and a combo of UBO + sponsorblock on desktop after the most recent price increase. Definitely not regretting it after hearing this.

Same here. I'm planning on replacing my Roku TV with a Google/Android TV model and replacing the launcher to avoid ads. Then I'll sideload a YouTube client that has sponsorblock and adblock so I can get the benefits of YT Premium.
