    The "Modern Day Slaves" Of The AI Tech World Youtube – Real Stories – 25th June 2024

    The "Modern Day Slaves" Of The AI Tech World

    This documentary unveils the untold story of the ghost workers who power our digital world, performing the tedious and often traumatic tasks that machines can't handle. Meet the invisible workforce behind tech giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Uber. These underpaid and disposable workers label images, moderate content, and train AI systems, often earning less.

    Rocket League Pro Lethamyr tries Blocket League by @Sethbling

    I invited Lethamyr and his friends to play Blocket League, my Rocket League in Minecraft mini-game, and they were VERY good.

    I love Sethbling's videos so much. I think it's a combination of the technical depth of the projects he works on within Minecraft, his palatable communication of technical topics to a "less-technical" audience, and his ability to get popular figures in communities to "react" to the projects he builds.

    This video was an unexpected crossover of Sethbling with Rocket League, a game I have played for many thousands of hours. Seth gets a former-pro Rocket League player to play his Minecraft reimplementation of Rocket League.

    This video is also part of a larger series Seth seems to be doing on implementing physics engines in Minecraft, that are also great watches.

    Russia is Running Out of People YouTube – PolyMatter – 6th July 2024

    Russia is Running Out of People

    In the 1980s, the Soviet Union had one of the highest birth rates in Europe. Its population peaked at nearly 149 million, making it the 6th largest country in the world. But after its collapse in ‘91, its birth rate has never recovered. Since then more Russians have died than been born for every one of the last 33 years except three.
