For me it’s Skallagrim. This is a channel of a guy who specializes in ancient armory and weaponry, he also reviews swords and stuff that’s sold online and tests them. Pretty cool.
But then I started to not like him for some reason and it took me a while to put my finger on it. Until I saw the video where he tried criticizing weapons in video games. Then that was where I found problems with him as a channel.
His personality comes off very pretentious and one of those pseudointellectuals you know, who try sounding smarter than they really are. He even has the voice tone to back that with.
So yeah I really once loved his channel. Though whenever he goes on tirades about things that are meant for fantasy purposes which aren’t supposed to make sense when translated to reality, as well as try to poke at fictitious things that borrow from ancient history, I feel he misses the plot of his entire channel and why people like me once subscribed to it.
We didn’t subscribe to your channel for your stupid takes on - anything. We subscribed because you seem to know your melee weapons and historical backgrounds of said weaponry. Stick to those.
I disagree with the Kurzegast thing, I think their videos are still as good as ever if not better. Honestly would have been disapointed with them if they would have taken some sort of A.I doomer view instead of a more balanced take. In fact I would love them to go more indepth with A.I especially when it comes to symbolic A.I and expert systems, instead of this generative A.I sillyness that is going on.
Ar you all coping the first guy who spelled Kurzgesagt wrong?
It’s like a brain disease. It’s fucking Kurzgesagt.
They did take an AI Doomerism approach. They said “AI, the last thing humanity ever makes”
What they conveinently don’t talk about is all the ongoing harm AI is doing. Namely, the Red Line statement from the UN General Assembly. https://red-lines.ai/
Thats where the overlap is between Kurzegast and the PR group signed by Sam Altman, “Control AI”, is. It also only talks about the scifi future doomerism without mentioning widespread misinformation, systemic human rights violations, national and international security concerns, or in any way accountability.
