YouTube always knows who I am because my Chrome browser is usually logged into my Gmail account.

Oh, I see. This is a programming question then.
Try logging off your GMail account, shutting down your Chrome browser, fire up Edge, go to YT, find the video you're looking for and download it to a local folder. Running a file search on that vast compendium and observing the returns should pretty much eliminate the question of whether you've viewed the presentation before.

It looks like AI has been generating your responses.
My question was why they don't tell me. My question was not, how can I find out.

Wrong answer. We were looking for the question "Ok, bigshot, how do I download YT choices to my hardrive?"

Just because it's YouTube, don't mean they can't be dumb. Between the obvious censorship, removing the thumbs down button as soon as we know which videos got disliked... they're too busy trying to control our minds to bother with actual usability.

Interestingly, there is an extension for Firefox which returns the dislike view count. I'm not sure I trust its accuracy after finding out that the 'Windows 11 Inside story' video only has 75 downvotes, but it is available.

It does, doesn't it? Or at least for me it does - it shows a red bar below the video which indicates how far through it you are: A full bar indicates you watched to the end, and empty one that you haven't started it.
Admittedly, that's only when you open / refresh the page, but ...

If you have an account, it certainly does. There's a History menu option under "you" on the left on the web page. On my Roku the History option is under "library" which seems a bit odd to me.
If you don't have an account, do you delete cookies when you close your browser, regularly clean your browser history, or otherwise clean up locally stored web browsing data? Any of those might account why YouTube doesn't remember what you've seen.

Sung to "Video killed the radio star". Just to put that in your head for the rest of the day 
With the rise of AI, it seems to me that many search results are now AI generated answers on websites following recipes designed to garner ad hits. Many with the same exact wording and same tables of contents. With some questions, it's tough to locate a real website that has factual answers. It certainly varies with the question or topic, but it feels like it is on the increase. Had some where those make up the top handful of sites.
So, will these become a battle of AI, with search engines AI removing or deprioritizing those or maybe the sites will up their own AI game to get around the SE algorithms?
Strikes me as ironic, we'll see whose AI is better than whose. And if you don't have the song in your head, here it is for you The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star (Official Music Video) - YouTube[^]

This seems to be the trend on Microsoft. It started with generic canned responses (maybe a backdoor prototype AI) that I always felt were off and general useless. Now when I am looking for technical info, it smells like Microsoft's AI. I suppose it's the next evolution of search engines.

Tried to google but found both opinions !! The site turing.com does not has phone number but even phone number can be faked. I tried to see the address on google maps but the location does not has any sign for the building !!
I am looking to work remotely but I dont know if this company legit or not ?

They ask for ID so they want to get full name, address and phone. Is it possible to scam me from these information ?
|
|

The ID bit, yes.
These 'interview' scammers will totally have you hold your ID up so they can steal the ssn (or other special numbers for other countries) and use those for fraud. The common knowledge pieces of information don't really matter (name/address/phone). It's being able to pair the name and birthday with the bit of more secret information (ssn or w/e) that enables identity fraud.
If they don't ask you to do skills assessment and personality tests... Basically, if the interview seems like a pleasant conversation and not an arduous interrogation, it's probably a scam. Heh. /s
Edit: Just to be clear - I'm not talking specifically about turing.com - I have no idea.

For other countries what they can do with these information: name, address, ID number, birthday ?

Open a bank account in your name?
Start taking out loans that you end up paying?

I was reading the newspaper yesterday (yes the paper version) and saw a story about undergrads designing and building a small satellite that NASA will launch into orbit. I was thinking how awesome it would've been to be a part of something like that in my college days. Kudo's to the people involved.

Would have been great to be a part of something like that.
I believe NASA has lauched quite a few school projects... even one by high school students from India. Good on them to work with students everywhere

I think it only costs about $3k/pound to put something on a Falcon 9.
I couldn't afford a very heavy satellite, but it's pretty interesting to google that and realize I almost definitely could get some little something up there. Barring all the stuff like they probably don't just let anyone chuck a bit onto a rocket to fling into space and there's almost definitely more bureaucracy to it than just paying.
Edit: The CodeProject Payload Project? That would rock. If y'all do it, I'd definitely want to try to be some part of it.

Bad news is it's a year and a half off, and the announcement was probably only made to shore up the Take Two Interactive after a loss of $2.9bn in the last financial quarter[^] ... so I'd say it's probably inaccurate - it'll slip back given how the long time frame implies there is a lot of work still to do.
Damn it! I was looking forward to that early next year.
