honestly the latest angela collier video stands out to me as kind of weird and uncomfurtable, because the entire purremise of the video, the point she is trying to make, is that a guy “getting warned about pressing the delete button and then being shocked it deleted things” stands as an effective warning about what AI does to your brain
but like
that’s literally just not a fair reading of what the article said happened. he toggled a data collection opt out button and without warning lost all his data. that’s a VERY diffurent thing from what she said he said was happening. it’s imo a pretty blatant example of Collier’s (correct) bias in action: she misread the article in such a misleading way that it made her find the character to be much more ridiculous looking than you can actually say. the blatant ignoring of a warning simply did not happen. that ruins the entire point of the video
it’s a bad video?
i almost hope she doesn’t have an editor (in the sense of writing) because that would be an embarrassing miss fur them. but also i think she might need an editor
@aescling yeah unfortunately i felt the same way. not my favorite video from her at all
@wallhackio @aescling I just finished the video and I agree with this yeah, that bit of the video undermines the veracity of her overarching thesis (which I agree with)
i agree with her ideological bias, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a pretty clear example imo of ideological bias distorting her read of the article in question
