  • I’m assuming you already know AVGN, who pretty much invented it, but on the off-chance you don’t - his oldest videos are worth trying. I haven’t watched too much of his newer stuff, but I hear it devolved into pointlessness. Still, the backlog of good ones is massive.

    AVGN is Angry Video Game Nerd, in case there’s any doubt.















  • Do you watch every video available? I certainly can’t. So I make use of teasers and descriptions. That’s what they’re there and useful for.

    Sure, me too, but when you literally say “Instant disqualification for me” that’s an insane reaction. You should know when reading a summary that it’s not a perfect representation of the source. Even human-written summaries or articles very often misunderstand or misrepresent their sources, many times stating the exact opposite of the source because of it. This obviously happens with AI summaries as well. The “instant disqualification” is what you can’t excuse.



  • Reasoning and “thinking” can arise as emergent properties of this system. Not everything the model says is backed up by direct data. As you surely know, you’ve heard of AI hallucinations.

    I believe the researchers in that experiment allowed the model to write out its thoughts to a separate place where only they could read them.

    By god, watch the video and not the crappy AI-generated summary. This man is one of the best AI safety explainers in the world. You don’t have to agree with everything he says, but I think you’ll agree with the vast majority of it.
