Let me say, he's a great teacher! I took a CV class with him. He should teach more, and take it seriously.

Being a popular AI influencer is not necessarily correlated with being a good researcher though. And I would argue there is a strong indication that it is negatively correlated with being a good business leader / founder.

Here's to hoping he chills out and goes back to the sorely needed lost art of explaining complicated things in elegant ways, and doesn't stray too far back into wasting time with all the top sheisters of the valley.

Edit: the more I think about it, the more I realize that it probably screws with a person to have their tweets get b-lined to the front page of hackernews. It makes you a target for offers and opportunities because of your name/influence, but not necessarily because of your underlying "best fit"

Sometimes I wish as a profession we valued teaching more. I would love to teach, but not do research, and make a living.

easier said than done

3b1b's main selling point is the extreme level of polish on his visualizations - something that takes a lot of time (money) to develop

the sad part is that it takes extreme luck to make it on yt. i wish educating skills counted for more but unfortunately they don't, really.

YouTube is a lot less luck and a lot more skill than people realize. If you make good content regularly, your audience will find you.

The algorithm is very good at rewarding good content. (It’s also good at rewarding other things, but that is besides the point)
