Gamers Nexus big story about GPU smuggling got taken down.
-
You made a post about a subject you were concerned with not brought up in a video you watched - and this part is important - on a thread discussing the video getting improperly removed.
Now perhaps you didn't read the title completely and became confused... but assuming you didn't: please tell me how your urgent missive is on topic.
My original response at least provided you the courtesy of a response. You didn't care for it - but that is perfectly fine. Your type rarely enjoy those sort of observations.
If you are looking to derail things further after losing your original position I'd suggest you stop. This behavior is well documented as a standard method of trolling and isn't even novel.
You made a point about staying on topic and lost that point and have now fallen into repetition.

So why did it mention Russia allegedly using AI to spy on its citizens?
Because USA has similar restrictions on Russia for these powerful GPUs.
Because Russia is just over the boarder from China.
Because its another example. Just because Steve gave us a few examples, of countries using ai tech, dosent mean we need an exhaustive list of every example in the world. -
GamersNexus chose to derail things. With rumors about Russia instead of mentioning Israel committing a literal genocide with AI. And they purposely avoid talking about Israel in every single of their videos.
They choose to make their videos political and make political statements. But the hypocrisy on this is too glaring.
You're free to make your own video without what you feel is an egregious oversight.

Is there a tldw somewhere before I watch 3.5 hours?

I found the intro hook intriguing, but the reporting starts with a lot of media clips and other run-ups, which eventually made me leave.
It's great they put in so much effort into genuine, on-site reporting, but the already long video report feels even more bloated/filled this way.
I have to wonder if the DMCA was due to the news clips. While they may be fair use for contextualized reporting, I didn't find them particularly valuable, and DMCA issues could have been avoided without them or without using so many of them.
Exactly the same - I was very interested in the premise but struggled to make it past this section, too, for the same reasons you've mentioned. Would certainly agree that these clips should've been used more sparingly, as it's a bit of a slog otherwise.

That is not weird whatsoever. Ignoring the Holocaust elephant in the room.

I found it fascinating beyond just the geopolitics of video cards (although the existence of that right there is wild).
It's a really neat look inside China with "real people" (not trade shows, uptight salesmen, or politicians). I don't speak Chinese but it also seemed like Steve Burke had spent a lot of effort learning. He seems very talented and smart while staying humble. That's rare.
Despite it being a 3 hour video about smuggling, the most discomforting thing for me was the left-handed driving in HK and I find that hilarious.
That's just his schtick. Dude and his team make other journalists look like dog shit! I dropped some money on them a year ago for merch. The brass Moscow Mule cups made fantastic drinks for my wife and me and the coasters made for really good workplace Christmas gifts for nerdy coworkers! If you're looking for some holiday gifts coming up, I recommend them. The quality is superb!

I made content about the review pointing out its pariality. And here you are whining about it.
You are the only one whining about it.
And you are whining for the stupidiest reason.. That a news story focused on X, didnt deeply cover what you want of subject Y.
This is like ordering steak at a restaurant and having fucking toddler meltdown because you didnt get pancakes. in a restaurant that doesnt serve pancakes. at the dinner service.

You sound like a jilted LTT fan that holds a grudge over Steve's coverage of Linus with this kind of ridiculous stretching you're trying to do.
