        Oooooh veritasium! Truly a delicious specimen. Between the Waymo shilling, Silicon Valley “philosophy” ideology propaganda disguised as science, and general STEMlord malaise, it’s hard to tell which is the juiciest part!

        Reminder to everybody that it doesn’t take actual knowledge or being right to make a slick explainer video, just some computers and a team of animators.
