    With as much as I’m ready for the AI bubble to burst, Sabine Hossenfelder isn’t a very reliable source on much of anything - especially her newer videos from within the past year after she got called out for some unscientific takes on transgender care. Since then, she has kinda doubled down on her anti-science-establishment takes acting like she knows more than actual experts.

    I’m not really criticizing any of her takes in this particular video (I’ll be honest I’m at work and haven’t had a chance to watch it yet), but just want to caution anyone who may watch this and start getting her videos recommended a bunch by their YouTube algorithm that she’s not considered a reliable science communicator by anyone who is.

      I was a casual fan of her, and would generally watch her videos when they came across my algorithm, not anymore, she is banned and unsubscribedfrom my feed. Thank you for your information
