I love this channel! Her discussions on the toxic culture in physics departments was both heart breaking and really brave. That said I had a feeling this particular video might be a bit out of scope, but I might give it a try since it sounds like y'all enjoyed it
(Random, but wanted to add that her rant about robots in movies being bad tools is hilarious)
she is awesome. I think she’s the most engaging science communicator i’ve found in years, and it’s because her videos are so earnest and stripped down. She’s really awesome.
I love her, I'm sad the video is getting hate in here but I haven't watched it yet
Honestly I'm not surprised. Lemmy has a lot of very literal
well actuallytypes. Many of them seem more mature and older so at least partially aware of themselves. But in general it still feels like a systemic issue. Wouldn't be surprised if anyone here would be the type to respond to the video on robots in movies with something likewell, duh! robots _have_ to look like that because of the writing. It humanizes them.Just totally missing the fact that she's clearly a very intelligent person and is very aware of the basic facts of the situation just like everyone else isYeah I watched about half of it, it is a long one. She very clearly defines what she means and states her reasons and opinions.
I agree she is not a Comp Sci Doctorate in Machine Learning but she doesn't claim to be.
Seems to be a good video on a contentious topic and whether people agree or not I don't think she was misrepresenting anything.
