I haven't had much to post from this formerly favorite channel, and there's a reason for that. Seemingly overnight, it went from discussing obscure papers to promoting new AI algorithms from major companies. It was the EXACT instant the voiceover narrator instead switched to showing his face. When I say the transition was stark, I mean it. Not a SINGLE video since that point talking about any other algorithms, it's ONLY "AI" stuff. Keep in mind this is a guy who'd been regularly mocking it up until that point, but they were also an advertiser. I get the distinct impression the guy was "bought out". It fits the pattern too well. Maybe that's not what happened, but a fundamental shift has led me to abandon the channel altogether. It's a shame. I'd liked it.
Here's the last video before the guy fully converted his channel to an AI advertisement channel:

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
