Really surprised by this LTT video. They were direct on the points that lately, in the mainstream, there has only been rubbish.
Omg, i almost clicked on a ltt video. That was fucking close
I recently discovered that he believes it’s theft if you watch one of his videos with an adblocker. Just out of spite, sometimes I put one of his videos on in the background (muted) with an adblocker.
What’s the problem with ltt?
you don’t know about the controversy?? boy I don’t follow the channel and I am still up to date with the gossip lmao
You are totally correct. This is one of the first mainstream publications I’ve seen really explain to people what “AI” is and what it isn’t. Good to see this kind of content.
And it’s pretty consistent for Linus too. He’s been making this rant on WAN show since ChatGPT started gaining traction
AI isn’t a scam, but damn, most of the businesses surrounding it sure are.
Did they ever do anything about that thing they reviewed the wrong product and just ran it down?
Edit: tube to thing
What?
They were supposed to be reviewing a video card or video card cooler or something and they used the wrong model, said it didn’t work, and then kept and sold the thing if iirc
The Billet Labs prototype water block being so poorly handled was a consequence of them growing too big for Linus to manage; he hadn’t internalized that they weren’t six guys working out of a house anymore, but a proper medium sized business that didn’t need to strain for every bit of content to keep from going under, and could afford to slow down a little to get things right. They ended up taking a break from the constant grind to reorganize after GamersNexus put out a big piece on all the things LTT was doing wrong, all the sacrifices they were making to quality and accuracy for the sake of pushing out more and more content to stay relevant, and how badly they mishandled the prototype.
Not sure Linus has forgiven GN for the “hit piece” but I think they really needed the shock of it in order to get them to actually course correct immediately rather than keep putting it off.
