Again, it wasn't so much a diss of Hank, as a comment on Masley picking and choosing who can be trusted across the board. When Hank is fallible as well because he speaks about subjects that aren't his expertise.
I know it's a minor thing, but check out the backlash to his Sci-fi knitting video.
Oh that's lovely. 😍
You can definitely do that. Plenty of people do without being paid.
Research, but somehow not cite.
His initial response was positive, till he started reading the criticisms. But yes, I'm not going to defend lash outs. If you put something in the world that gains traction, you will get criticised.
Hopefully he will write a longer less reactionary rebuttal.
You're welcome to that takeaway.
Not the one I'm getting, but my opinion of Masley is also very low to begin with from his previous writing.
That said his latest video on the Artemis mission was wonderful. It wasn't to say that Hank Green is a bad source for everything. It was more to say that it's hypocritical to say that Benn is untrustworthy and then on the other hand point to another YT'er who has also proven fallible.
He is on some subjects, but there's a whole slew of subjects where I don't trust him. He's done work where he didn't talk to experts and didn't provide accurate information and in his ongoing series about AI he has, like Masley, spoken and platformed accelerationists and people connected EA.
cite* Uh, I hate that english isn't my native tongue. I make the worst swaps of words that sounds alike to me. 😅
One sat down and dissected a 2 months old video on his own time over who knows how long a period, didn't notify or ask for comment before publishing.
The other acted in real time to the other person's actions. Do you spot the difference in their situation?
New report just out from @investigate-europe.eu: Microsoft and DigitalEurope (a tech lobby group) decided they don't EVER want anyone knowing the energy consumption of individual data centres
So they lobbied successfully to get their own wording copy-pasted into regulations in the EU.
Right? You link to your sources, that's common practice when you sight something. The guy was a teacher for many years before he was the leader of local EA group. He should be well aware of this practice.
If you go through the history he did.
Masley has prepared himself for this face-off, didn't notify Jordan before publishing or ask for comment. This wasn't about the legitimacy of the video or not, it was about discrediting Jordan.
He didn't call you a bot, but a fake account and suggested you were bought.
Not that insane. Bsky is an open platform and it's easy to set it up. They have the resources to do it. It's the logical outcome. Jay Graber is a huge fan of Claude and if you visit the ATproto.com websiteone of the first things you are offered to do is setting up AI agents.
Possibly regarding his involvement with tobacco.
The mentioning of Hank Green as a trusted source...

Reminder that skyrocketing technology prices doesn't just affect gaming and gamers. It affects all of us as essentially a lot of the machines used for everything else than gaming also requires these components to function.
I'm going. I need this right now. If I hold out it might get cheaper, but it also might get more expensive. Look into whatever your buying having some kind of maintenance or care routine that can stretch it's life-cycle. Possibly look into secondhand if it's something that can be purchased that way.

Science Youtubers and journalists are suffering as much from AI psychosis as the next guy.
Luckily some of the people who work with these models can point out how much they've lost the plot and it isn't AGI.
Hey babe, your fav AI company other best buddy just wrote a manifesto about how they are planning on taking over the world with technology and roll back rights that has been hard fought for, because inclusiveness is actually bad.
Hey babe your fave AI company is besties with the military and the NSA

The US navy deciding that it can go into territory it has absolutely no jurisdiction over and bully other nations into following their orders "or else", sets a terrible precedence that other nations that has more power than sense could soon follow too.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
Just read this in full. This absolutely rules.
Be forced to watch Benn Jordan's video on Datacentres.
