    I thought something was up when he had interviewed some random ass AI expert talking about Mythos because he bought into the whole “OMG it’s gone rogue” bullshit.

    I’m not a huge fan of the videos he hosts (I don’t like how he cuts every millisecond between sentences), but SciShow is a genuinely good channel and I’m glad he realized he had problems. Wishing him all the best!

    Alright, so he got addicted to what felt like an easy source of knowledge. Can happen to anyone.

    I guess I’m just tired of finding things to be upset about. I’ve lived more than five decades and it’s been outrage after outrage after outrage.

    I’m tired, boss.

    He’s admitted there was a problem and it got out of hand. If he changes, what’s the huge deal going forward?

    We need social safety nets. We need universal health care. We need to kick fascists out of our government. And sure, we need to fix smaller problems, but jesus christ does every last thing have to be drama?

    Glad he’s recognizing the problem and trying to get help. Instant gratification is a hell of a drug.

    I only started paying attention to him recently, but I could swear he had a little meltdown in a video hating AI and had to calm himself with his word association game. Maybe I’m thinking of his brother.

    There are few people I trust more than Hank Green when it comes to something like AI.
