And is was interesting when he went trough a paper on light calculations when rendering object and new physics calculation on fluids. The bulk of his content now seems to be “LOOK AT THIS STABLE DIFFUSION!” With “CHATGPT! Look at the AI do stuff!”

I stopped watching because it turned into the AI channel and doesn’t actually talk about papers.

I think Vsauce is a lot more grifty than he looks. If you look at the really early videos they were very different and he changed his content wildly in order to find something that makes the most money with the least work. The science education happened to be profitable but as the Meta started favouring more than 10+ min and science vids became mini documentaries he just dropped off and started reviewing science toys and do compilation videos. Right now he is doing a lot of shorts because they are being pushed by the algorithm.

Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don’t get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

Is fire an invention? I feel like it is something that happens to us wether we like it or not.

I never thought of him being immune to Sauron as him being powerful. He is just like the the hobbits but to its fullest. Bombadil is perfectly content with his own existence and there is nothing for the ring to tempt him with.

Arguably that would make it even more effective.

That exists, it’s called a face tattoo.

Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.

Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can’t make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.

All NFTs are scams and if you think any of it isn’t a scam it’s because you are getting scammed by that particular variant.

They are not giving such license and even if they did, it’s a completely different system that is called copyright law. We had that way before NFTs existed. The NFTs part of the system has absolutely nothing to do with the image and copyright management.

People think that because it’s the only way the whole thing isn’t a stupid waste of time and resources.

Also it isn’t bad art but it is art that is indistinguishable from any highschooler that likes to draw.

NFTs does not let you own images. The weird monkey company still owns all the monkeys. You own a piece of code that you can trade and monkey company pinky swears to keep a database where each piece of code has one unique monkey.

Should the monkey company ever want to go back on that promise they can just have 2 codes have the same image with no legal consequences.

I don’t think we should take our lessons from a third world country.

Did we finally discover slood?

He caused the riot. If he didn’t cause the riot and has no responsibility then we are in some weird Saw movie logic where Jigsaw technically didn’t kill anyone because he only set up the circumstances and the people killed themselves. If you are older and twelve you should be able to sort these things out.

That depends on the local law. Setting things up in such a way that you know a crime will occur is often also considered incitement even if you never told anyone directly to do anything. Would you be more comfortable if people just said “causing a riot” because they mean the same thing here.

He has enough viewers that he basically arranged a concert in the middle of new york without telling anyone beforehand. When you have an audience his size you are legally not allowed to be as stupid as he is.
