Can anyone think of a good reason that YouTube does not tell you which videos you've already watched and which ones you haven't seen yet?
It must be for some nefarious reason, but I can't work it out.

Seems to me that YT would have to know who you are in order to tell you whether you've accessed something they're presenting.
Wait, is this a trick question?
I'm always trying to download .pdfs from links that are flagging rough terrain in my performance graph of ethernet send/recieve and very slow speeds as well and when this kind of behavior doesn't have any stamp like time-of-day or similar they often report internet connection on the fritz and then terminate in the browser. Often after turning in reports of file size way more than that suggested to me before I clicked on the link.
Payload of bad content perhaps? A sign that the website doesn't like me and they're throttling my conversation?
WWW: it either does or it doesn't ... stop complaining about it.

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.

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

It's called YouTube Algorithm. Understanding it is more difficult than understanding my wife's / manager's mind.

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.

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.

Isn't that the same recipe Google has been using for years?

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

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.

I love DA, I think there are too many collection quests in DAI though (same fault as Mass Effect Andromeda).
I'm back in Fallout mode though, tossed in 120 hours this month between FO3 and FO4.

I saw the headlines but didn't bother reading any of the details.
I'm assuming this is as per previous releases, where the console releases get preferential treatment, and the PC port only comes out a year or so later. Then add a few more months for the show-stopping bugs to get patched...
