A crossed-out 'artificial intelligence' heads friendlyjordies' five-upload week
The most watched new video strikes through two words and replaces them with SUPER INTELLIGENCE, while a ten-day-old history of Argentina keeps finding viewers.

a̶r̶t̶i̶f̶i̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ i̶n̶t̶e̶l̶l̶i̶g̶e̶n̶c̶e SUPER INTELLIGENCE
Which friendlyjordies video got the most eyes this week? The one whose title is a joke before you press play: "a̶r̶t̶i̶f̶i̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ i̶n̶t̶e̶l̶l̶i̶g̶e̶n̶c̶e SUPER INTELLIGENCE," with the first two words struck clean through. The description adds just three: "This is Super." Commenters point out that the title changed within minutes of going up, and the replies turn to Donald Trump and an AI pledge with tech executives. A few viewers also ask for more of Dave's dinners.
Jordan Shanks, the Sydney comedian behind the channel, posted five times. Closer to home, he went after the One Nation bots, Pauline Hanson's party being a familiar target, and after influencers who say they "expose corruption." "The Metallica guy is back!" announces a returning character. The newest, "The Victorian Labor Government has nothing to do with any of this," is the one with the most momentum at the moment, just ahead of the AI video.
The longest-lived draw is "Argentina is Cooked," a chaptered history that runs from colonial roots and Peronism through the Dirty War and the Falklands to the Milei era. Ten days on it is past 440,000 views.
Overall the channel ran at about its normal pace, and the subscriber count did not move. Among political commentators of a similar size it was a calmer stretch: Keith Edwards and The Damage Report had the biggest weeks, and Don Lemon ran well above his usual level.
