I thought something was up when he had interviewed some random ass AI expert talking about Mythos because he bought into the whole "OMG it's gone rogue" bullshit.

I'm not a huge fan of the videos he hosts (I don't like how he cuts every millisecond between sentences), but SciShow is a genuinely good channel and I'm glad he realized he had problems. Wishing him all the best!

    I feel like if that was your primary takeaway from that, the entire point was lost on you.

    From that video, it discusses more than just the fear mongering. It talks about how it works and why we don't understand it and why we can't really peer into the net and understand why it generates what it does.

    But those are basic concepts of LLMs that I knew about. They explain that and they say "omg scary" which, to me, is just marketing through fearmongering. It's been a few months since the video and you can see: Anthropic and ChatGPT are now competing on how "rogue" their models are. It's so tiring.

    His audience is diverse, I'm sorry if it can't cater to only what you need, but I don't think that's doable. Just because you don't derive value, doesn't mean others don't.
