I think it’s pretty normal to be against anyone who wants to violently overthrow my government.

I kinda covered it in this comment about the latest video response: lemmy.world/comment/2474701
But the gist of it is that while the video was a much more considered response to the situation (closer to what I expected out of them from the get), and now we will wait and see to see if they make good on it. We don’t have to “trust them, bro”; people are watching, and we will hold them to account if they don’t follow through. All that means for me is that I simply don’t watch this kind of content if I can’t trust it. What drew me to LTT in the first place was the genuinely useful information coupled with high entertainment value; if they can get that balance back, and stick to the guidelines they say they’ll publish, then I see no reason not to accept that they’re doing the right thing with regard to their testing and the accuracy of their reporting.
Same goes for their response to Madison’s statements, and their “crunch culture” in general. I agree that Madison is just one voice of many, but that doesn’t mean she’s the only one either. What I hope is that it never happens again, but if it does I hope the support for Madison this time will encourage anyone else to speak out about such issues.
TL;DR, Indeed, don’t take them at their word that they’ll do better. Watch, and see if they do.

Oof. I’m glad she finally felt like she could speak out properly. How she was treated is simply awful. At this point I just really hope I’m not wrong about Luke, I like him 😞

Solid summary, yep. I will say though that while I understand your anger and certainly share in your disappointment, Linus has a pretty good (but not spotless, not by a long shot) track record of doing the right thing and being a decent dude, and I think he deserves a bit more grace than the more vitriolic comments have been giving him. Saying he’s a piece of shit is a bit much, in my opinion.
As a long-time viewer, it’s hard to see. I hope he sits and thinks on this whole situation, and comes around to apologise to Billet, to GN, and to the community he spent so long building. In the absence of that, I really hope someone from LMG outlines the steps they’ll take moving forward to address the points raised in the GN videos. I love LMG’s content, it would be a shame to lose them over all this.

By preventing harmful or discriminatory outputs from AI models, prompt engineers ensure fairness, mitigate biases, and ensure fairness.
So this was written by AI, not edited by a human (at least, not one who was paying attention), and written by AI.

Won’t someone think of the poor scribes that the printing press will put out of a job?
Look, I get the arguments, but they are wrong. Even “stealing content” is completely wrong. It’s taken down, shuffled around, and recombined. It works pretty much the same way as human learning, just with fewer layers. The people who oppose AI are afraid of it, because they don’t truly understand how it works. Case in point ^

Yes, soda is more hydrating than diuretic, but you’ve gotta look at the practical example rather than the ear data. The amount of caffeine in soda would become a problem if you tried to stay properly hydrated by drinking soda. You’re only supposed to have ~400mg of caffeine in a day, and a can of soda has ~30-50mg on average in 355ml of liquid. 10 cans of soda might be almost enough to get the water you’re supposed to drink, but you’d be pretty much at your daily caffeine limit; any more and you’d be in danger of heart issues, doubly so because of the dehydration, not to mention all the sugar and other crap in 10+ cans of soda…
Obviously these numbers vary by person, but not so much that the caffeine content isn’t a concern for people who drink soda exclusively.

It is more acidic than regular water, as the dissolved carbon dioxide creates carbonic acid. It’s not immediately bad for you, but if you drink a lot of it in a short time it could cause stomach issues due to the extra acidity.
That said it’s still water, and drinking enough to have you worried about the quantity of carbonic acid in your stomach would be far outweighed by the benefits of being properly hydrated, so CHUG CHUG CHUG!
