Video Description

The tech world is abuzz with all the supposed AI technologies that we never hear the end of. Apple Intelligence. Windows Copilot. Google Gemini. And you're even being told to buy AI enabled devices like Copilot+ PC's or iPhone 16's. Yet the truth is that today, this is all vaporware. And even more interesting a clear release date on these products is not even avaiable yet. All we see are little AI gimmicks like background blur. But this is not the time to relax. While it seems like AI is not a current threat, the reality is that the more dangerous pieces of AI Agents are already active. ---------------------------------- BraX3 Privacy Phone is available on https://braxtech.net ----------------------------------- Brax Virtual Phone, De-Googled Phones, BytzVPN, BraxMail, BraxRouters are available on https://brax.me ----------------------------------- Merch Store https://my-store-c37a50.creator-spring.com/ ----------------------------------- I'm the Internet Privacy Guy. I'm a public interest technologist. I'm here to educate. You are losing your Internet privacy and Internet security every day if you don't fight for it. Your data is collected with endless permanent data mining. Learn about a TOR router, a VPN , antivirus, spyware, firewalls, IP address, wifi triangulation, data privacy regulation, backups and tech tools, and evading mass surveillance from NSA, CIA, FBI. Learn how to be anonymous on the Internet so you are not profiled. Learn to speak freely with pseudo anonymity. Learn more about the dangers of the inernet and the dangers of social media, dangers of email. I like alternative communication technology like Amateur Radio and data communications using Analog. I'm a licensed HAM operator.
