Trust in global companies like Google, Amazon and Meta is at an all-time low. News that our videos are being edited without permission goes to show that consumers are spot on in not trusting these commercial giants.

YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality
YouTube made AI enhancements to videos without telling users or asking permission. As AI quietly mediates our world, what happens to our shared connections with real life?

So, due to new US tariffs and the lack of customs people there to process stuff, the Indian government has suspended all export mail to the USA 😭 Looks like this may screw us up quite badly. If anyone wants to buy an ebook today, it will make us happy:
