    CGPgrey’s AI and his self driving cars videos.

    Definitely made some poor choices in life due to these that I could scream into a pillow. The future is always unpredictable, and while behind the scenes I’m sure a lot happened to improve both of these technologies, more than a decade later the use cases of both are still the same - grifting investors.

      Can you clarify? Are you calling CGP a grifter, or did he just make a wrong prediction?

        Sorry, was half asleep when I wrote that.

        CGPgrey did make a ton of prediction on the future of these 2 technologies, but did overestimate their potential in the near future. That much is evident 10/8 years later. The only thing they really excel at is getting money from starry eyed investors, which you can then run away with. Same as it was back then.

          I like CPG gray as a content creator, but he did do that and the Royals video. I dunno. libs were really starry eyed back then.
