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.

Become the next 3blue1brown. He has inspired many.

Here's a gem of educator. Check out his other videos.

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.

>>WhrRTh+EJ
Yup. There is probably a few dozen (if not hundreds) of 3b1b out there with just as much polish, the algorithm just didn’t bless them.

>>jorvi+TY
Do you have any examples? I find this hard to believe.

>>bigyik+Z01
That’s kind of the point, you won’t be able to due to the algorithm.

I can give you something analogous though: I’m a big fan of old school east coast hip-hop. You have the established mainline artists from back then (“Nas”, “Jay-Z”, “Big L”, etc), then you have a the established underground artists (say, “Lord Finesse” or “Kool G Rap”), and then you have the really really underground guys like “Mr. Low Kash ‘n Da Shady Bunch”, “Superscientifiku”, “Punk Barbarians”, “Harlekinz”, etc.

A lot of those in that third “tier” are every bit as good as the second tier. And both tiers contain a lot of artists that could hit the quality point of the mainline artists, they just never had access to the producer and studio time that the mainline did.

I know these artists because I love going digging for the next hidden gem. Spotify recommended me perhaps one or two of all the super-underground guys.

Ironically more West-coast style, but here is a great example (explicit!): https://youtu.be/BUwJMVKSMtY?t=129

Dude could’ve measured up to the best of the west coast. Spotify monthly listener count? 891.

Algorithms are sadly win-more.

Now I’m just silently hoping a math nerd will feel inclined to share their hidden math channel gems :+)
