YouTube - OpenAI Showed Up At My Door. Here's Why They're Targeting People Like Me - More Perfect Union (youtu.be)

I recognize YouTube isn't popular and tends to get down votes. I'm not sure how else to share this. I think what OpenAI (and others) are trying to do to further rig the system in their favor and screw us needs to be known. So hopefully the information in the video gets out and we all have time to act.

BLUF (bottom line up front): OpenAI and others are targeting watchdogs and critics through subpoenas. They're trying to silence critics and kill legistaltion so they can reshape government in their favor. They are trying to push back regulations on AI in many areas to allow them to continue the path they're on. Public pressure is mounting for AI regulation and shit is about to get real.

FYI: fow a while now, even though I have notifications on and follow more perfect union, their videos are no longer shown in my subscription tab. Keep an eye out and visit/share their work every now and then.

Try alternative frontends such as NewPipe on Android, it'll show everything you subscribe to on your feed
