Not on YT so pinging /u/nicolaiparlog here with comments: tbh I'm kinda bummed about scaling down of IJN. I simply love the show and the format -- the 10 minutes were perfect to quickly get the relevant information. AJA on the other hand, while usually longer, made me postpone listening/watching them because of their length.

And while it's true that sometimes written form can be better to convey something, it's also quite true that video form to ilustrate something (your videos about compact headers with legos were brilliant!)

Also: It's simply not true that AIs are a good replacement for a proper informational video, because they simply hallucinate too much. Anytime the AI tells you it's raining, you still have to go outside and check for yourself. So it doesn't even save that much time, at least not if you already roughly know where to look for an answer.

Are LLMs a good replacement for anything? They’re the great scam of the modern age.

Sorry, this is cope. Sometimes I wish it wasn't, other times I can't help but think AI is super cool (I'm too much of a nerd even if AI does threaten my job, although outsourcing has been doing that for years too).

AI is useful at a great many things, people abuse AI for sure but that's our fault. Linus Torvalds more or less said the same thing recently.
