I've noticed that too. My computer hobby educates me, and I'm building something cool during the process. But when I see people wasting the day away on videos that dis-educate them, it makes me realize that their psych is being wasted and that they could and should be doing something creative as well.

This is a good theory. I've heard about AI processors demanding more power, but I'm not sold on the reasons given for it, similar to how I'm not sold on the need for accelerated graphics in web browsing. I am sold on the fact that the elite want as much information about us as possible, and it's perfectly logical to use that as a basis when trying to decode their secretive behavior.
It's suspicious how I stumbled upon the issue with my web browser, of all things. It would have been more compelling if I got the alert through an OS update instead "The latest version of Debian doesn't work with your outdated GPU." But Chrome/Edge giving me that message? Very suspicious.

That's it. And this information they collect is surely going to be used in their effort to control us.
