I haven't watched it. I don't know how well she will cover the subject or how deep the rabbit hole she will venture.

All I know is she's delightful and I sure as hell won't read that bilge myself, so I'm looking forward to an entertaining summary.

Edit: I watched it. I had a good time.

Sorry, when she started taking Yud's claims to be a "renowned AI researcher" at face value, I noped out.

It is technically correct to call Yud a "renowned AI researcher", but saying someone's renowned in a pseudoscience such as AI is hardly singing their praises.

He's a renowned AI researcher in the same way as Andrew Wakefield is a renowned doctor.

Herostraticly renowned.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
