I always wondered how a company could offer free video hosting in exchange for mining them and creating AI. Once they've been mined and they know who watches them, the content becomes superfluous and I suppose it can get deleted. So that is where we are now.

I was a member of a huge union for a long time and they don't do anything if you're fired or laid off. Because you aren't in the union anymore. But they loved collecting dues. I wonder where all that money goes? There must be a way to find out.

So sad. We really need to get back to the moon, not just for the adventure, but for the technology. There was a lot of technology that came out of the space program that wouldn't exist, even today.
