The Brainrot Apocalypse (a DIY survival guide)

Video Description

We're not cooked... but we're definitely getting slowcooked This is a video about the Gradual Disempowerment of humanity, as a result of overreliance on AI. It's also a guide to implimenting some simple but (in my opinion) effective solutions.
