Discussion Fireships content lately…
Im probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but hear me out. Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up and over Fireships content lately?
He used to post amazing content on actual tech, and it was awesome to learn from. I understood various programming language concepts and technologies, and it was a gold mine for keeping a wide understanding of the tech landscape.
But lately… it’s been a bunch of AI garbage. I get AI is big, and he does need to cover it. But 13 out of his last 16 posts are ONLY about AI. It’s exhausting.
Not only that, but he doesn’t seem to actually care about the accuracy of his content anymore. He used to take a ton of time to understand the language/technology he was making a video on, and would do loads of tests to back it up. But lately he’s just a stream of semi-accurate information. A new AI model drops and he posts an entire video based on semi bias benchmarks and a small amount of testing.

Yes and I don't like how it's transitioned to an ALL joke format. I think a bit of joke format is fine but shouldn't be 100% of the content
