Gonna have to disagree with you there chief.

I've followed SimonW for quite some time and bullshit/grifting is just NOT something he does.

On the contrary, I've learned a great deal from him and appreciate his contributions.

I used to follow Fireship, I even have him connected on LinkedIn. Look where he is now. I also used to follow simonw, but I think he is going down the same spiral.

Where is Fireship now? I sometimes watch their 100-second summary videos, but I know nothing else about them.

His channel is apparently owned by a "private equity" and his videos have largely become ads.

What have you learned, other than "[latest AI grift] is the future and I should invest all my money into it now"?
