#scishow — Public Fediverse posts

For a person who calls himself a science educator, and has self-awareness of the scope of his online influence, it's sad to see Hank Green admitting that he's been using an LLM to "help" write the scripts for his videos.

Hank Green's hand-wringing and "Yeah, but"-type justifications look familiar. It's the same talk I've heard from several other highly intelligent people, some of them friends I've known for years. They think their intelligence, reasoning skills, and experience with computers/science makes them immune to some all-too-human cognitive biases and emotional manipulation. This confidence makes them an ideal target, and puts them on the path to cognitive surrender to LLMs.

There are absolutely no reasons for Hank Green to continue appearing on #SciShow, he should step down immediately.

Speaking of Hank Green, #SciShow committed the cardinal sin of misinformating their audience about the #evolution of the eyes, making it look like it's still a mystery instead of the decades of research proving otherwise, thus enabling creationists.

And WTF is with the bad text on the video claiming a plant species is not undergoing natural selection?

One for #GNUTerryPratchett fans who also have a fondness for our Orangutan cousins over the years I have come across several things in #Discworld books that you would initially think of being from pTerry's fantasy imagination but turned out to be references to weird #RoundWorld realities he picked up in his wide ranging reading research but I am not sure if some of his fans in the science community named the librarian Long Call after his death or if it was named before & it made it into the Long Earth series & we only now are beginning to understand the recursive complexities in the language of a fellow ape & he extrapolated it early. Anyway some in the above Venn diagram of interests might enjoy the #SciShow linked below.

SciShow Is Lying to You about AI. Here are the receipts.

In this video, I debunk the recent SciShow episode hosted by Hank Green regarding Artificial Intelligence. I break down why the comparison between AI development and the Manhattan Project (Atomic Power) is factually incorrect. We also investigate the sponsor, Control AI, and expose how industry propaganda is shifting focus toward hypothetical extinction risks to distract from real-world issues like disinformation and regulatory accountability, and fact-check OpenAI’s claims about the International Math Olympiad and Anthropic’s AI Alignment bioweapon tests.

00:00 I wish this wasn’t happening

00:32 SciShow’s Lie Overview

01:58 Intro

02:15 Biggest Lie on the SciShow Video

04:44 Biggest Omission in the SciShow Video

05:56 The “Statement on AI” that SciShow Omits

08:57 Summary of Most Important Points

09:23 Claim about International Math Olympiad Medal

09:50 Misleading Example about AI Alignment

11:20 Downplaying “practical and visible” problems

11:53 Essay I debunked from Anthropic CEO

12:06 Video on Hank’s Personal Channel

12:31 A Plea for SciShow and others to do better

"This is not the time for lazy science."

Many thanks to Evie Unraveling for making this video about the science, history, and technology of knitting. If you didn't see the video SciShow knitting video, it is full of misinformation, lazy science, and misogyny. I love SciShow, but that was irresponsible. As a female scientist and crocheter, this correction video by Evie was very affirming.

https://youtu.be/5btQokB32dQ?si=X0hh33uuicnX2RlJ

The video was removed from SciShow's YouTube page after the backlash and Hank Green has posted an apology on his own Tiktok.

It's so fascinating that the purity of the copper was the downfall behind the tools (makes sense considering that other cultures went with bronze and not copper tools - bronze being an alloy)...makes sense given that copper is known for ductility rather than particularly notable strength.

In which #SciShow's Hank Green addresses, dissects, analyzes, and utterly shreds and destroys #RFKBatshit's HHS release about #autism that the Mango Mussolini so derangedly bloviated about and blamed (completely idiotically) on #Tylenol in an attempt to distract attention from, all together now, The Epstein Files.

tl,dr: The ENTIRE release is based upon ONE SINGLE dataset that appears to show a recent increase in autism spectrum diagnoses if you look at an artificially narrow period of time and intentionally misinterpret and misrepresent the data.


I mean, we all already knew it was bullshit. But this is chapter and verse on exactly how and why it is bullshit.
