More than ever on YouTube, it has become essential to identify consistently good — human — documentary makers, and watch their videos. There are too many good documentaries to waste a minute of our time on shitty AI slop.

The error messages displayed on computers have confused and befuddled users for decades. And yet, somehow, these ubiquitous riddles have lead ordinary people to believe "This time it will be different. If I can just decypher what this one means, THIS TIME my problem will be solved."

People call me for technical support when they don't know how to solve a problem themself. Yet most of them want to tell me EVERYTHING they "know" about the problem — information that has already failed them.

I can personally recommend a growing number of smart, inventive and hard working individuals who have just entered the job market! The kind of people who love their work and don't hold back.
