what would be in it?

that would be really great but first you gotta write the video essay

for me its always "cool video essay youtuber pretty much only streams now because they makes 10x more money for 1/10th the effort" cough cough joseph anderson

you might have with someone else here

formerally one of the best game critque/essay youtubers out there

Joseph Anderson

there are a few others out there, but the focus is on game design and history than critiquing/revieiwing

im a fan of Whitelight

Ahoy?

im a little behind on ahoys videos, didnt see the most recent

or they are all great quality, but only has 6 videos

+ last seen 6 years ago

i also think alot of education and engineering youtube fell off. Kurzgesagt lost most of its charm. mark rober is now discount Mr. beast. Tom Scott is enjoying retirement, and veritasium... i dont really trust anymore. he has a few incredible videos but sometimes is far too confident posting somewhat iffy science. on the engineering side, Real engineering feels too much like ads for random companies, William ozman is acitve on his second channel fucking around on a farm, idk what Nile Red is doing, and i think michael reeves is now 90 percent streamer

can i give my veritasium rant that i was so angry about at the time i was considering making a youtube channel just to respond?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_n1FZaKzF8 this video makes me angry. the complete

omg

you get it

complete disregard for the scientific method and engineering principles then concludes with myth busted

didnt do any small scale testing or like idk add fins

then 0 follow up actually doing it correctly, admitting it was a shit video, or giving a good pay off

he did slightly redeem himself with the blue led video imo, but only slightly.

Practical engineering is still top tier civil engineering videos

want to invest in my startup that mines underwater magnesium nodes?

genuinely never had somebody earn my respect so quickly by calling out the video before i had the chance to link it

The sad part is what he said was embarrassingly tame. Like come on you can’t even call it a fed post because it’s so boring

"The MAGA Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it" Like yea the kids clearly left leaning, but the comment is about how maga media is portraying the shooter with minimal details. Obviously every detail that does come out makes the statement worse. But calling it a blatant lie is a little exaggerated. Fire the money drain with an excuse is true tho

Also the Tucker Carlson defense applies here https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-believe-the-facts-tucker-carlson-tells-you-so-say-fox-s-lawye

I’m in a weird place because I fucking love machine learning and the science behind it but am horrified by how it’s actually used and effecting us

“Hmm, I’m not sure if this is true, let me ask google but if it was on LSD”

We could totally make a bot that just runs API calls to gpt or something. Or does that cost money

wait how the fuck did yall pre-empt him on that? did he hint at his plans or did spooky just already have everything downloaded because thats what spooky does

ngl when i first saw everything was gone except for his video explaining that it was his life's work and he can do what he wants with it i low key respected it. then of course he spiralled further

selling a hotdog for $10 should be a crime

even for a bit

youtube search algorithm is trash now. anyone remember a URealms Live fan animation of a scene in I think Roman's band of thieves where they convince a Kolbold NPC that Dwarf #4 is not actually a dwarf

can you find the video? (not this one)

this is it

looking at the epstein files like

my company has an internal version of ChatGPT and i gotta be honest its terrible. i know the latest gemini and Claude are much better than GPT 5, but Ill boil my problems down to the most leetcode-y type problem i can and at best take like a quarter of its code and do the rest my self.

i basically only ask it questions on writing efficent pandas dataframe manipulations. it doesnt know shit about lesser-known librarys even when i include the docs in the prompt

it also gets wayyy to verbose and adds unnecessary lines of code. some times i ask it for an algorthm. i have a general idea that it shouldnt be more than ~20ish lines. maybe 40 if you really over comment everything. but it gives me 100 lines and im just like, there is no way this is effecient if it even works

sometimes it just repeats stuff too. i read through before wasting time plugging it in and checking the output and i just see the same things repeated multiple times. it got an answer 90% right, but i needed 6 lines of useful stuff out of 30 lines of slop

0 chance im letting it touch any written code. maybe next time im bored and use claud for a personal project

also wouldnt mind if there was an AI bot out there that didnt make Yes Man from New Vegas look like a contrarian

yes

I liked sun and moon. Idk why but team skull my beloved. They are just a group of gangsters who took over a town and they still let you use the Pokémon center

Did rob ever refund the unforgotten quest kickstarter folks?
