    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)

        Honestly I’m not surprised. Lemmy has a lot of very literal well actually types. 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 like well, 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 is

          Yeah 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.
