Those AI channels are interesting. They are so full of misinformation and it seems that the three of them just crank out videos on the same day. Some of the information is just amazing. Like: - Steve and Chris met for the first time after Chris had his boat company - A pic of the Gamma with Pi4 on the screen (referencing that's what it was) - Full scale production in early 2025 - Up to 97 miles per day from solar Those were just recent ones. It seems that it's OK to produce that stuff and make over the top claims. I guess Aptera is fine with that? It seems to be getting worse.
@@namenotshown9277 - There's a 4th. Auto Mind. They are just making things up. Even saying that Aptera found a loophole in physics or Aptera found this glitch in physics. Then it has a 1000 mile range and never needs to be plugged in. I really hope one of them says that it'll fly because it's getting that close on the stuff that made up.
@@billsmith5960 I just watched Auto Mind's latest (some of it, then ran the mini screen along the timeline). I made two comments, but these sites usually have blocks on those. The first ws giving AOC's URL to the Solarrolla interview - so it's not America's first solar. And the second was they never drove it like they said they would. It was all old clips of others driving with no information from any driver.
@@aussieideasman8498 - Fi you look at their videos, they even have one that here in the US, the Chevy Nova is coming back in 2025. Yet the whole video is full of Camaros, Mustangs, Restomods and Renders. Yet no official info from GM about this. So, I guess Aptera is a better thing to make things up about.
@@aussieideasman8498 - They don;t want the VC's because then they would have to give up some control. There was a company called Aptera that was started by two guys named Steve and Chris out of a place called Carlsbad. They tried to make a trike but when they gave up control, it failed. Even though that has nothing to do with the Aptera today, maybe they watched that happen and then decided, for this new company, it's better to keep total control.
they just all use the same stock footage released by Aptera and nothing more. it is all minimal effort. They may not even have explicit permission to do so. The point is that it is every easy to knock out content where they are just using another channels footage. The best part is their level of misinformation rivals Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro!
I use footage to evaluate. I don't claim it to be my own. When I have to stop theirs, I either make a still where I stopped it, or just insert my hand-made thumbnail. I get bored with the way they run stuff willy-nilly ten times over and nothing matches their sound.
If you go looking for it, you'll find crap semi-auto-generated content like this on all topics (roller skates, bands, pizza ovens, countries, excavators, and whatever else.). It's not the conspiracy you think it is. Simply people/groups chasing an audience in a attempt to make money.
Two things you got wrong: 1. My vids are not semi-auto. Hand made on the free OBS Studio and Davinci Resolve. No AI voices, either. amd 2. I don't chase money, so not like this. Have you seen me ask for subscribe, ring and like? Do I have a "buy me a coffee"? And do I have a "get a $30 discount on my reservation code"? No - they are not like mine. One thing you got right; they are crap like mine, and that's why I keep practicing. Grateful for so much material at Aptera that I don't have to look abroad.
Crikey@@aussieideasman8498, I wasn't referring to your videos. Should be pretty obvious that I was only referring to the crap semi-auto-generated ones that you're discussing in your video.
@@JamesLaugesen Sorry, but when I see "like this" I take it leterally. No harm done because I hardly care what anyone says about me. In all honesty, this was one of my worst videos out of a bad bunch, but on the topic of these content makers they are at another level of low.
@@aussieideasman8498 Cheers. In hindsight I should-have said "like these". Re; these (or those? haha.) videos. It's best not to think of them as content makers at-all. They're akin to algorithmic market traders. The only goal of the videos is to encourage Aptera fans to click on them, and then (once someone has been lured in.) the only goal of the content within the video is to encourage the viewer to comment (in an attempt to game the algorithm.). The same groups/systems behind these videos will also be generating videos about wheelchairs, chainsaws, diesel utes, make-up, etc. They don't necessarily have any agenda or interest in any of the topics (either negative or positive.).

Apteras slogan should be: "not one journey made by the sun".......that is more truthful slogan

I won't be doing one like this again. It's so hard to see a shot and then match it with the same from the second video with a different timestamp.

It's interesting how their disciples still believe everything they say.
And interesting how the Venture Capital world doesn't believe it.
