Man I miss the time when loving everything didn't have to be politicized, both on the internet and elsewhere.

Sometimes I feel like I should have stuck my head in the toilet and flushed about the 2007 time frame, if this is what the future was going to be like.

Welcome to the future, where everything is sexist and everything is racist and everything is offensive and everything is bad for you!

God drat I hope there is a backlash against this horseshit and at some point there is a generation who is chill and doesn't give a gently caress as a way to rebel against their tightassed parents.

Here’s the AI video and a link to the patreon news item where he says why he deleted it. It’s a dumb video but it’s not political. I guess until he starts talking about how the hypothetical AI should have human rights and that’s hardly a nazi position.

Hopefully the "selfish fuckface boomer" thing was some sort of genetic fluke, possibly caused by all the nuclear testing going on around their time.

So I don't work in AI or Machine learning stuff, but I work in an office with people who do, and I remember showing them this video when it came out, and many laughs were had. It feels a bit like someone with some technical knowledge, who's really into science fiction, not understanding what they're talking about. I mean, it could have been worse.

I don't mind his videos; he generally talks about things I'm interested in, but his editing is still off and he hasn't gotten much better over the years.

It's far more of an information dump than fun watching, but they do a really good job at it. It's the channel that convinced me to get an OSSC. They've got a great video about Scart switch options too, and that's a planned future purchase.

gently caress this is crazy I can't believe I never knew about this. He's like one of my favorite people on Youtube. I always kinda figured he was kinda weird but claiming he could invent advanced AI in 20 years but doesn't because he knows he shouldn't is a pretty crazy way of thinking.

It doesn't change my enjoyment of his general video's but it's weird seeing that side of him.

And for some reason he's obsessed with Peter Molyneux and will mention him on every single video. It is like someone being online mad at Justin Bieber on 2018, I mean, who cares anymore.

LGR and Techmoan on the other hand are consistently great.

Its clearly a running joke/gimmick. LGR has quite a few like Duke Nukem, :dance:aged beige plastic, socks and wood grain. Also don't watch Larry, its sometimes interesting in the couple videos I watched but loving up your hearing isn't worth it.

I really like how over time LGR dislikes Sim 4 more and more.

The latest/current generation has always received public derision from its elders, all the way back to Ancient Greece and probably earlier. There's just more ways than ever for everyone to yell at each other nowadays.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with tech relics, so let's pull things back vaguely on course: MS-DOS v1.25 and v2.0 are now open-source under the MIT License. Not exactly the latest versions, but they're there and boy, if this isn't a sign of how things have changed in recent years...

It's more a case of him being such a stereotypical dweeb, that of course he would think guns are the shortcut to bring macho.

He just grates in every way. His voice, his mannerisms, his overconfidence in his own skills and knowledge, everything.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was a shithead gamergate tiki torch nazi.

I have yet to see him make a video I would consider mediocre or worse. The only thing I don’t watch are the live streams as having assembled my share of computers it isn’t noteworthy for me. When he installs some weird parts doing the driver hoops etc which is edited I do watch.
