What I wanted YouTube to do with AI: make it so I don't have to delete 50 obvious spam comments on all my videos.

Google, DDG, Bing, etc. are all now effectively worthless on the first 2-3 pages, for most of my queries having to do with *anything* general.

Anyone know what this is? I'll be talking about it more later this year :)
Delete! Delete! Delete! The FCC asked what regulations should be deleted from its books. Is it good for broadcast radio? Bad for hams? What would we delete?
My Dad and I discussed it over on Geerling Engineering:
