I'm really good at searching Google. I'm a "prompt engineer" too

Did it work? How do you know that? A consumer of your package sends a int when your package expects a string.

What now?

This is the stupidest use of this stupid meme with this stupid piece of shit that I've ever seen

lol, is that what you took away from that? He burnt himself out, took it out on his employees, and his audience.

In what way is he looking like a victim here?

Not defending LMG's mistakes, but GN's opinion that you should not ask for comment doesn't hold water.

GN definitely has an agenda here. He made several comments that made it quite clear he's resentful of LTT's success.

While I don't think anything he reported is false, it's all wrapped in a narrative that relies on implications. He certainly makes a whole lot of hay about a few small mistakes and heavily implies LTT is in the pockets of their sponsors and a conspiracy theory that LTT is only successful because of some connections and preferred treatment by YouTube.

He's very much trying to establish a narrative that LMG is wildly corrupt and undeserving of their success. However, a lot of it comes across as sour grapes.

It's clear Linus has come to the conclusion he's in way over his head. A small channel to a full blown media/tech company is a whole different ball game.

Coming up to the new CEO announcement, you could tell Linus was burning out. He seemed tired, quick to anger, and just generally in a bad mood.

That shit rolls down hill. Pushing for more videos on a tight schedule and burning everyone else out with him has led to the sloppiness.

As for Madison, I believe her. The company clearly has managers who have no business managing and simply got those positions via having tenure as the company grew.

Culture rots when there is no accountability, and when you have a burned out, grouchy CEO trying to do too much, too fast.

So what will matter now is what they do about it. Linus hiring a CEO is a good first step. I feel LMG has always been remarkably transparent and they aren't pretending Madison's story didn't happen.

So if there is accountability for what happened to Madison (as in the people who totally did not do their jobs should be likely fired) and if proper training and processes are in place to make sure it doesn't happen again, then at the end of the day, they're doing what they can when shitty stuff like this happens.

Ideally it never happens. But if it does, do what you can to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Say what you want about the LMS folks, they've always been open. Linus' heart is almost always in the right place. He wants to build an ethical and transparent company. He is a huge tech nerd and that's what makes LTT so entertaining.

If it continues to degrade, yeah, I'm going to pass on further supporting them. But until they prove they can't or won't act in good faith, I believe them

Like 85% of the most recent YC class are "revolutionize x with AI" crap.

Just because people use "for the children" in inappropriate scenarios to further an agenda has nothing to do with this discussion and you know it.

If you make a tool to essentially hide people's activity online, you KNOW what it's going to ultimately be used for.

...and you clearly think it's worth the trade off. So no need to continue
