I'm as against Israel's war crimes as the next guy, but I don't see why some people try to shoehorn it into completely irrelevant topics.
The video is about GPUs being smuggled into China, as well as the futility of this GPU export ban.
It is not about middle eastern geopolitics. That's why middle eastern geopolitics wasn't mentioned.
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.
It sure is convenient Steve only ever brings up Russia and never Israel. That is not weird whatsoever. Ignoring the Holocaust elephant in the room.
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.
