I don’t think the usual portrayal of the issue is that animals can exploit any other animal that is less intelligent; it’s more like, there’s a minimum level of intelligence or consciousness for human rights. You might call it a cutoff. Which could be seen as a contrivance to give humans the right to exploit other animals, but the problem with dismissing this view as self-serving is that the logic cuts both ways. Humans are the only animal that is expected to care about morality in the first place; nobody is getting mad at cheetahs for eating ostriches. So it’s hard to argue that there is no cutoff relating to morality at humans, the question is exactly what that cutoff entails.

Not sure about India, but NASA has used GoPros on Moon-related stuff. Artemis I had 4 GoPros on the ends of its solar panels when it orbited the Moon last year.

Good article, lots of specifics as to what the accusations against TSMC are. Also, it appears there is a paper trail to back them up:

Earlier this month, after multiple health and safety complaints were sent to the state over the past year, TSMC and the state of Arizona signed a workplace-safety agreement. Both sides agreed to subject the company to higher safety standards than required at the federal level, including closer oversight and increased training and safety visits.

Feels like this was meant to be a TV commercial.

The article only has one line about this, noting that what platform this interview would take place on is unclear. I just checked and it looks like he’s continued to do a show on Twitter despite Fox News sending him a cease-and-desist letter, so presumably it would be there.

The term ‘AI’ (Artificial Intelligence) refers to computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence,

That’s everything computers do, though, isn’t it? Pocket calculators would have fit this definition of AI in the 1970s. In the '60s, “computer” was a human job title.

Every once in a while Steve gets visibly upset about corporate misbehavior, but I’ve been watching GN for a few years, and the news segment where he was replying to Linus’s dismissive forum post is the angriest I’ve ever seen him.

Returnal (PC) - Still playing the Tower of Sisyphus even though I beat the game. This is the most impressed I’ve been with a Playstation “exclusive” since the PS2, it’s so good. I bet a lot of people give up on it pretty quick because of the difficulty, but I find it’s less difficult than a Souls game once you get a handle on it.

Horizon Zero Dawn (PC) - I kinda want to get to the part where they explain the robot animals (Dr. Eggman?), but the half-assed combat and boring open world are making me not want to bother.

20XX (PC)- It’s fun, but it’s also giving me a new appreciation for how well-designed the Mega Man games were. You’re not supposed to be hitting your head on the bottoms of platforms in games like this, lmao.

Yeah, most of the answers here seem to miss that part. The LMG lab tech also called out Hardware Unboxed, who responded via Twitter, got flamed by Linus’s fans, and that was the end of it. But it sounds like Gamers Nexus was already sick of LMG’s shit and that clip was the last straw.

For those who aren’t aware why errors are an issue because all they’ve seen is wacky LTT videos where they mess around with stuff–Linus is the most popular (and profitable) computer hardware Youtuber, and he’s always done hardware reviews, but to some degree this whole scandal came about because of him wanting to be taken more seriously. Recently he’s been using his millions in an attempt to become the most authoritative PC hardware critic by building and staffing a state-of-the-art testing lab. It was one of his lab technicians who made the comment about how their testing was better than that of more respected channels like Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed that kicked this whole thing off. And the whole lab thing makes the continuing inaccuracy of the videos seem that much more egregious.
