Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

    Kurzgesagt is annoyingly techno-solutionist but now that they are a big target of AI slop (their artistic style being heavily copied), they complain. That’s good I guess.

      If you actually watch the video that’s not what they’re talking about. They are talking about how it’s difficult to fact check information in a world of AI misinformation.

      I always find it’s easier to know what a video is about if I actually watched the video. It’s just this little life hack I’ve come up with.

        Watch the video? Duh. Thanks I watched it, and I know they don’t talk about how AI steals their art style (even though it’s really happening). I just pointed out the irony. The video also says they are usually enthusiastic about new tech but not this time.

        I know this channel well enough to have seen countless videos praising fake tech like carbon capture and that’s why I have a problem with them. Am I allowed to have an opinion?

          You are allowed to have an opinion but when it’s a stupid opinion expect to be ridiculed for it.

          Carbon capture is an actual technology it’s real and it works. There’s not a lot of it about yet but there’s also not a lot of fusion reactors yet but they’re also real technology.

      I don’t think they are techno-solutionists but that sometimes is the vibe they give off.

      I just think there’s some directions they won’t go thanks to the threat of capital.

      What is the problem with techno-solutionism? Is it just that under capitalism techno-solutionism often results in corruption? Is the development of lemmy not techno-solutionism (to the enshittification of reddit)?
