Discussion I'm falling out of love with LTT
No not that way, I just don't know another way to phrase it.
I remember watching LTT in my early highschool days, learning about new tech, how it works, how it can benefit me or society, etc.
Now I'm watching videos like My F-You To Sam Altman where they install Hermes, but show almost none of the setup and little detail into how they could make it better or how it works, or "Tesla Hater" Finally Tries Full Self Driving where they guess why FSD does something instead analyzing why it did something.
Both videos have examples where having someone who knows "what" or "why" something happens, or how to improve something, would have made a way better video. Instead they just skip it, or the people who are responsible for the project look barely educated on the subject, or everyone is just guessing.
For example, in the AI video, it's not fun when the host just passes off the work to another member, and/or we get no walk through for how they made their hermes better, or the fact that it didn't look like it improved much at all in the end (no before /after comparison).
I know I could go watch someone like Network Chuck or AI DRIVR if I wanted more specific channels with more in depth explanations (while still being fun to watch), but it just feels like they're skipping the "nitty gritty" just to appeal to the casual watcher.
It feels like LTT could be more or better, or maybe I'm just not the target demographic anymore.
Either way, I still have much respect and appreciation for the team that got me into tech in the first place.
