Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

After kinda fence-sitting on the topic of AI in general for while, Hank Green is having a mental breakdown on YouTube over Sora2 and it's honestly pretty funny.
Not that anyone should be in charge of that shitshow of a company, but hey!
Bonus sneer from the comment section:
I don't see much to laugh at here myself. Hank may have been a massive fencesitter on AI, but I still think his reaction to Sora's completely goddamn justified. This shit is going to enable scams, misinformation and propaganda on a Biblical fucking scale, and undermine the credibility of video evidence for good measure.
Got another bonus sneer from the comments as well:
(Sidenote: It massively fucking sucks how Two Minute Papers drank the AI Kool-Aid, I used to love that channel.)
No, it's absolutely justified and I agree with basically everything he says in the video (esp. the title, there is really no reason for technology like this to exist in the hand of the public, or anyone really, there's zero upsides to it). It's just funny to me because the video is just so different from his usual calm stuff.
But honestly, good for him and (hopefully) his community too.
