Does anyone else feel like in 4–5 years it won’t be us controlling AI, but AI controlling us?🤖

I'm 100% convinced AI would be heavily used in the creative industry—writing, editing, video-making—doing it faster, cheaper and with fewer mistakes than humans. It's cute that people say they’ll "always prefer human made art" but I'm convinced AI will be able to mimic us 100%.

And just like always, the same small group of people will end up controlling the money but at a scale like we've never seen before.. The scary part is, we already had a job crisis before AI came along.

I’m nervous about where this is heading. How about you guys, are you worried about the future of AI?

Worldstar, at least credit us by sharing our original video link instead of downloading and re-uploading it on your million-subscriber platform. A huge amount of work went into this video, only for it to be taken like that. This is the third time we’ve been featured on their site—before, they shared the original link, but now it feels like straight-up theft. Also running their own commercials.. Really disappointing.

Hey Guys, I'd like to share this tragic story that I came across - I hope the family can find closure soon.

Beth Martin, 28, travelled to Turkey with her husband Luke and two young children but died just days into her trip - her family has said an autopsy revealed something horrifying..

Mother-of-two Beth Martin, 28, was rushed to hospital after she became "delirious" just one day into her trip to Turkey and was placed in critical care. Beth, from Portsmouth, unfortunately passed away a day after she was admitted to hospital on April 28 - but her husband Luke's heartbreak has not ended there as a shocking discovery was made after her death. A UK autopsy revealed doctors had removed her heart without her family's knowledge.

Beth had travelled on April 27 with Luke and her two children, aged five and eight, but her family now says they are being kept in the dark about what happened to the beloved mother. It is understood that Beth fell ill soon after the Martin family landed at the airport.

Her husband said he called an ambulance the next day and Beth was taken to a "destitute" hospital and Luke said he was even "banned" from seeing his wife.

Luke said the severity of her condition was not shared, and added that he was even accused by Turkish authorities at one point of "poisoning" his wife, but he was cleared. The hospital that treated Beth before her tragic death is now being investigated for negligence following her death and her family are fighting for answers into what happened and where the mother's heart is.



Her family has shared heartbreaking details about the mysterious circumstances surrounding Beth's death and said they felt the "deepest level of trauma", in a GoFundMe page.

The fundraiser said: "The UK autopsy began. And then the final blow: Beth’s heart was missing. The Turkish hospital has removed it. No explanation. No consent. They have invaded her body and they have TAKEN her heart."

It added: "They are grieving, traumatised — and now trying to put the pieces of their family back together. After everything the family have been through - Luke believes passionately that this is something that cannot be taken lying down."



Luke shared an emotional message on social media after the tragedy and said: "2 weeks ago me, my wife and 2 kids set out for a family holiday to Turkey. Only 3 of us made it back. I lost my wife, my children lost their mum, we lost the biggest piece of the puzzle that was our family.

"It has been the worst and most traumatic week of my entire life, and to top it off.. I had to break the news to my babies that their mum isn't coming home, it broke me. Even more so when I had to say goodbye to them so they could be brought home by family.



"I stayed in Turkey another 2 days to ensure she was brought back, and booked myself on the same flight home. Knowing my wife was still on my flight but I couldn't be next to her broke me even more."

RIP Beth

We Are Now 200K Strong! I'd like to thank all of you for helping us reach this milestone.

I started watching true crime documentaries since I was 14 years of age and now I'm 33 and still love a good true crime documentary when I'm not editing a Decoder video. It's always been my ambition to make the best documentaries with the victims in mind. Also we are always seeking advice from your comments - so it's really been a group effort!

This journey was never about chasing viral videos. It was about telling real stories. Stories that honour the victims, explore the full picture. Many of you have supported this channel from the very beginning and we are very thankful for your love for our work and also the lovely comments that you leave behind for the victims. Be sure we read all of your comments!

I also want to take a moment to thank the incredible team behind this project—many of whom have been here from the start:
🖋️ Annabel, our brilliant writer
🎤 Eric, the man behind the mic
🔎 Katy and Ashiq, our dedicated researchers
🎬 Roman and Jose, our talented editors
…along with others working behind the scenes as this team continues to grow. None of this would be possible without you. I’m proud of what we’ve built together.

Lastly, it’s almost been a year since we lost Sean O’Neal, our former voice artist. Sean was one of our earliest supporters and a big part of this journey.
RIP, brother. You’re missed greatly.

Here’s to the next chapter!🥂

🦘Australia passes social media ban for under 16s.

The law will make platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit and X liable for fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars (£25m) if they don't systemically stop children younger than 16 from holding accounts.

The platforms will have one year to work out how to implement the ban before the fines come into force.

The legislation is set to come into force in November 2025. Do you think this Law will pass in other countries?🤔
