  • That seems to be an audio book on Libro. Barnes & Noble still has the physical book available online, but who knows. Anyway, the author is a former FB exec, so evil by definition, just maybe less evil than Zuckerberg. And I doubt she needs the money from the book.

    My local library has 65 holds on 2 copies, lol. Maybe I'll look for it after the clamor has died down.

    There are multiple books with that title, which is a reference to The Great Gatsby (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/64317):

    They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made …

  • So post the transcript. LLMs don't interest me. Remember who it is who is trying to pitch a claim and find listeners. Or just tell me the main idea. If you're saying an LLM summary would suffice, that's even more evidence that the video is not worth watching.

    You see laziness in not watching a video, but I see it in making the video instead of taking the trouble to think out the ideas and write them down.

  • Can you name any reasonably popular language that hasn't been used for all those things? And if Rust is the new C, would anyone say C is universal? I've written tons of C. I can say C isn't universal. Specifically, there is no universal language so far. Serious programmers have to know lots of them.

  • If the video has anything enlightening to say I'm sure it's ideas will get out into the part of the programming community that has learned how to read and write, and I'll find out about it then. If that doesn't happen, the video must not be so compelling after all. I'll wait and see.

  • Crosspost bots have been discussed many times and they are generally not wanted. Let reddit do its own thing. The extension sounds preferable to a bot if it's only for use by post authors.

  • Same issue. Does the person have trouble focusing their thoughts enough to write them down, or what? How long is the video, even? I shouldn't have to click it to find out.

  • Could you summarize the video to tell people what to expect? That could help. It's annoying to be asked to watch a video without good evidence in advance that it's worth watching.

  • The corporate entities controlling the franchises probably would have too many problems making such deals. Too many interests involved. In comics I remember a Marvel-dc crossover just once and it was bad. In fanfic though, it happens all the time and can work pretty well.
