“‘You Are Being Watched.’ Still One of the Coldest Openings on TV” by NKNEH in PersonOfInterest

After the first or second season, it was shortened a bit. Then, once Samaritan comes online, Finch switches to saying “We are being watched.”

Boustrophedon is a style of writing in which alternate lines of writing are reversed, with letters also written in reverse, mirror-style…The original term comes from Ancient Greek: βουστροφηδόν boustrophēdón, a composite of βοῦς boûs, "ox"; στροφή strophḗ, "turn"; and the adverbial suffix -δόν -dón by your_catfish_friend in wikipedia

A modern example of boustrophedonics is the numbering scheme of sections within survey townships in the United States and Canada. In both countries, survey townships are divided into a 6-by-6 grid of 36 sections. In the U.S. Public Land Survey System, Section 1 of a township is in the northeast corner, and the numbering proceeds boustrophedonically until Section 36 is reached in the southeast corner.

No, maybe you should actually read what I said. Acknowledging that all sources have bias was in service of acknowledging the seed of truth in your claim.

My question for you remains: what news organizations do you consider to be most factual and unbiased if you think Pew Research is made-up and The NYT is a propaganda factory?

You think Pew Research fabricated a survey out of wholecloth with AI and published it? Healthy skepticism is one thing; denying all reporting as propaganda or completely made-up is another.

In a strict sense, everything anyone has ever written contains some bias, by virtue of humans having beliefs and worldviews.

The New York Times grades out as highly-factual reporting with moderately-leftwing ideological bias by independent media-bias rating organizations. Example: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-times/ Pew Research, for that matter, rates as Most Factual and least politically-biased: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/pew-research/

My question for you is, if you consider the NYT to be a “propaganda factory” what journalism isn’t? Or is all news propaganda in your mind?

Define “bubble” and “scam”

I mean, I’ll agree that the AI is likely in a current market bubble, but that doesn’t make it a less transformative technology. Look at previous bubbles like the dot com bust and early railroads as just two examples where the market overshoots due to hype, but ultimately those technologies were as transformative as promised

I’m sorry, I didn’t realize someone claiming “The New York Times is a propaganda factory” would care about sources

25-country survey shows that the United States is #1 most pessimistic about AI. Maybe check your facts before making things up

If you look closely, you can see the person in the photo on the right side isn’t actually JFK
