It’s a weekly news report, but all the subjects are C-list conspiracy theorists.
The show is named after a British Conspiracy theorist called Mark Steele - this guy literally made a show a week about Steele until nobody would associate with him and he shut down his channel.
These days he makes videos about another conspiracy influencer - Richard Vobes. He said he’s going to keep making videos about the guy until Vobes shuts down his channel.
Yes, exactly this.
When compilers came along, some people honestly thought it would dumb down programming so much that anyone could do it.
When high level programming languages came along, they rejoiced again - now finally anyone can make software.
When Intellisense meat you no longer had to remember variable names, write your own imports and could guess how most libraries work, the bells rang out once again in celebration.
And now we have AI, it’s cool but really just another step like all those steps before. For me, it’s a replacement for the documentation I never read anyway. I can ask an AI a stupid question rather than bothering a human developer.
These days it’s my job to manage a small team of developers - when I ask them why they wrote a stupid thing that makes no sense, 90% of the time, the answer is that an AI wrote it for them.
