Another 90s reference: the IAC board of directors includes one Chelsea Clinton.

I’ve tried searching for “Love Telephone” (in quotes) on Qwant, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, FreeTube and even Google, and I cannot find any relevant results to save my life. Do you have a link for them?

IIRC, traditionally the most difficult ingredient to acquire for mass-producing counterfeit paper money is convincing paper.

Except the US Treasury makes that part easy: just get US$1 notes (US: bills).

The exact same paper & the exact same dimensions as the US$100 note. Bleach them & reprint with the $100 design and voilà! You’ve turned a $1 note into a $100 one.

Whereas many (if not most) other currencies long ago made sure to print larger value notes on different (larger) dimensions and/or types of paper so that counterfeiters couldn’t do the simple “bleach & reprint” trick.

Compare with UK banknotes where larger value notes have larger dimensions. A £50 note is 146 × 77 mm whereas a £5 is just 125 × 65 mm.

Also, UK banknotes & many others around the world are polymer now, not paper. I don’t think you could do the bleach & reprint technique on polymer notes even if they were the right size.

Isn’t GrokAI’s selling point that it’s an edgelord?

(Not gonna try it to see if it’s true.)

There are GUI programs that use yt-dlp underneath. I use YtDownloader, altho I haven’t tried it with an age-restricted video.
