Hi friends,
I watched “romanticizing the apocalypse” : why we secretly hope the world ends from a recent Reddit post. It was 45 min long, I watched every minute— not sped up. I enjoyed the authors tone of voice. Anyways— I asked chat gpt about similar yt videos and I searched them…. They were all blocked in the u s of a. I was recommended “The beauty of collapse” by Georg Rockwell-Schmidt. It said it was unviable in my “region”. Continued on to the next recommendation: “Why do we Romanticize the end of the world” by ContraPoints… this is also blocked in my country. Does anyone have resources— inside of the US to view videos like this? I will try the VPN route in the near future on my iPad but it is going me a hard time on WiFi rn. Does anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks

Your problem is that these videos do not exist. There are no videos by that title ever posted by those creators. Having been a long time follower of both those creators, they have never even done a video on those topics, explicitly.
ChatGPT lied to you.
It made up information that is not real information.
ChatGPT - like all LLM's and what they market as "artificial intelligence" - is nonsense. It is a gibberish machine. A facimile of digital ghosts trying to look like things that were once created online.
I have to assume you are someone who struggles with technology, so I don't hold this against you, but I need you to understand that you are not ready for this technology. You don't have the skills or experience necessary to understand it, protect yourself, and navigate it safely.
Get off ChatGPT now, and stop using anything that looks like or purports to be "AI" software, services, websites, or products.
It is going to fuck you up, like it has fucked up so many innocent naive people.
This is the real collapse - the collapse of thought.

I understand being upset about AI and my misunderstanding. I wanted a video in relation to something I watched that helped me feel seen in the face of collapse. Calling me names and insinuating I’m too dumb to use AI is not how you get through to people. It’s how they push you away and how you start a screaming war. I’m not going to insult you like you did me… but I genuinely do hope your life gets better and you don’t continue to lash out at strangers on the internet like this. Humans deserve better and you’re a social worker? I have no words.

I'm trying to help you. You 1.) casually believed a blatant lie from an AI chatbot and 2.) believe those videos to be blocked when they do not exist in the first place.
Technology has become extremely dangerous and you are having fundamental difficulties with it. It is not 1995. This shit will kill you or ruin your life these days.
Do not use this stuff. It is not well understood what it does to people, but the early signs are that it specifically harms people in your situation the most.

idk about those videos, but there are several recommended video/documentary links in the sidebar to the right of this page. maybe some of those would be similar enough?
Ok_Possibility_4354@reddit (OP)
My b, how do I find these? Thanks
tsyhanka@reddit
On the right of this page, if you scroll almost all the way down, there are sections for "Lectures" (also Documentaries, Books, Podcasts, etc)

Thank you 🫶🏼
pearfortheheir@reddit
Colour me curious as to why they were blocked
Logical-Race8871@reddit
They're not blocked. Those videos don't exist and never did. ChatGPT made up the titles and citations completely.

Georg Rockall-Schmidt should definitely be available everywhere according to the last time I did a vpn check on my subscriptions

I’ve enjoyed some of the videos I’ve found over on the website:
www.thoughtmaybe.com
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace was interesting and ever more relevant
They have a lot of fascinating videos there.
Avalon-Sparks@reddit
Wow, amazing site, thank you!

ChatGPT hallucinates, especially for these kinds of requests. Are you sure the urls it’s generating are even valid? Many of the videos it describes may be not exist, even if it gives a title, description, and URL.
Ok_Possibility_4354@reddit (OP)
I tried to look them up different ways, not just using the link it provided. I know it hallucinates, thanks tho

FYI: ContraPoints has been part of some controversy recently for Zionist views. I've watched some of her stuff before, and I'm not saying don't watch, but I'm boycotting her content personality.
Ok_Possibility_4354@reddit (OP)
Good to know, thanks for the heads up— I won’t support her.
audioen@reddit
ContraPoints is quite interesting character and does these deep scans around particular topic, which very few people are doing. I think this must be like the 5th time that somebody's trying to cancel her. I personally think such critical response is misguided and overblown.

Part of Natalie's thing is to frame multiple perspectives. She presents ideas that are uncomfortable and/or offensive to both left and right. I'm not familiar with her recent comments regarding Gaza and Israel and will have to find that episode. Overall, I think she does a good job of holding up a mirror that allows people to gain a clearer understanding of their unexamined ideologies. The left certainly would benefit from some self-reflection instead of "canceling" anyone who makes an infraction against whatever the prevailing orthodoxy is on a given day. Imperfect allies are better to keep around than outright enemies and banishing/shaming anyone who deviates only slightly from your own orthodoxy ends up strengthening your opponents as your own majority withers. I'm pretty certain she didn't advocate for unbridled colonialism or the expansion of a militarized Jewish ethnostate, but I'm curious to see what the latest outrage is.
trivetsandcolanders@reddit
Can you be more specific, what exactly did she say/do that was bad?
Playongo@reddit
I'm really not too up on it. I just saw that it made waves recently. I think it had to do with citing the clearly underreported "60,000 killed" number, and general minimizing of the ongoing genocide. There's a whole thread here about how to proceed regarding her content on this subreddit, so maybe there's some more context and nuance there. https://www.reddit.com/r/BreadTube/s/o5pAQTVdPy
