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

yeah, I'm still subscribed, but don't like their trajectory, a lot of their new videos feel like they're framed too sensationalistically and light on substance. I tried out their historical channel ("Kurzgesagt After Dark") when it launched, but that was even worse, just focusing on the scandal and suffering of their subjects 😮‍💨

I skip a lot of their videos nowadays, did this AI one too bc I knew it was bullshit.

    Same, too many of their videos feel sensationalized when they are about something in the popular zeitgeist. I rather enjoy the more random topics that come up occasionally, like the cancer video from 3 weeks ago. Granted, I'm no biologist, so if this one was also poor quality, I don't know the topic well enough to have noticed.
