  • Fabulous Crusty. I don’t hate his work or his decisions, as he wanted to do what he liked, and he found a new audience with it. Absolutely good for him.

    I miss his old content he probably decided was cringe, or perhaps YouTube deemed controversial like his playthrough of Rinse and Repeat. Rinse and Repeat isn’t controversial as far as I know(?) and had censor blurs. As someone in the LGBTA, I didn’t find his reactions to be inappropriate, and I liked his exploration of the jank of that game. Although I’m not sure why he played it, other than “this game is weird, it’ll get clicks.”

    He’s deleted or delisted a lot of my favorite videos from back in the day (or I can’t find his old channel, not sure). I hope he’s doing well, I just miss the really random weird stuff he was playing. I did enjoy the Shadow of War stuff though.






  • Not only is this not obsolete, it’s close to biographical as it closely references the first and second Artificial Intelligence Winters. The first being in the 60s. We’ve been working on these for a long time, so 5 years is short. It took until GPGPU to kick into full gear and some clever insights to get Deep Learning up and running (somewhat attributed to work published in 2011) to start reliably on this problem, and even that is an oversimplification of the timeline and the scope.

    Others have mentioned oddities like the difficulty of subject matter (picture contains a bird vs picture of a bird) but there are a lot harder problems that are trivial to humans and counterintuitively incredibly hard for computers.
