    Hi, a quick suggestion, instead of uploading 2-3 minutes videos, can you please upload a compilation of all making a healthy 15-20 minute video — that would be easier to watch instead of going through each of them separately because every 2-3 minutes I have to close the video and open a new one. Love your content by the way! Keep growing! 🎉

    I don’t know if anyone can in good faith believe his “too many bots” reason for buying it. He hated that him and his hyper-neo-conservative tech-bro buddies were constantly getting dunked on by strangers and being punished by the platform for breaking their rules and he couldn’t take the criticism

    LOL. There are people who _want_ a verified Twitter account? LOL. And give over personal information! It gets more and more patheticer around the web every day; Oh, and Musk didn’t buy Twitter because of the bots. It’s quasi-political because it involves someone in politics who knows zero about politics or anything else that matters in the world except how to not pay bills to developers.

AI is shaping every aspect of our lives — but only a handful of tech giants have a say in what this technology can do. So what’s going on with world governments? Bilawal Sidhu, host of “The TED AI Show,” sits down with geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer to unpack the UN’s just-released plan for “Governing AI for Humanity,” a report that focuses on the urgent need to guide AI towards helping everyone thrive, rather than just the powerful few. Together, they explore the complexities of AI’s rapid growth on a worldwide scale and take a clear-eyed look at the pivotal decisions facing us in the very near future. (Recorded at The TED AI Show on September 10, 2024 )
