A debunk of the recent AI doomer pseudoscientific video by Kurzgesagt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujkD4SxPKOI . Yes, it's over 3 hours.

I tried to watch this video, but it's impossible to get past his ranting and tangents. He attempts to break down the Kurzgesagt video and plays about 3 seconds of it, then rants about Bill Gates for like 5 minutes. Then he finally gets past this and proceeds to nitpick about their cartoon depiction of what AI looks like.

I'm sure he makes some good points, but this video is basically unwatchable. This is probably 5 minutes of content in a 3 hour video. If you are already on his side and angry at the same things he is, you're probably enjoying watching this, but I just can't.

    He also has a confidence that reminds me of Pirate Software.

    I had a quick look into the Bill Gates STD thing and can only find the info I had already heard, that he was allegedly trying to get antibiotics for Melinda after getting an STD from "Russian girls". Nothing about Gates trying to give his wife the STD.

    And to say Gates wasn't an engineer is odd.
