AJ Oliver 154 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The algorithms at You-Tube's internet channel on my smart TV . . seem to have tapped into my reptile brain. They "recommend" that I watch replays of AC 35 from Bermuda So I did. Not having much in the way of a memory, my reptile brain does not know who won, but still gives me a little jolt of endorphins every time the Kiwis thrash the billionaire. What fun.

Fish 0 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 You better look out, all that data that smart TV is compiling on you will have you voting for the next Republican candidate for the position of POTUS, and with your amnesia, you won't have even known you've done it.

Cantab 341 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 It's smart when it chooses what you watch and you like it, it then subtly works on what you like until it has complete control over you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive watched it a few times as well, especially the last race with the no look gybe and deep foiling soak that followed - it was a thing of beauty. Jimmy and Larrys hearts was broken right there.
