Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 12hHank Green suggested creators make AI codes of conduct and I thought that was a nice idea. Sometimes when I end up interacting with an LLM, I feel a pang of guilt like, does my audience know. So this is the situation 1357322

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I feel like there's a reason not to frame public debates as things between "realistic" people and " unrealistic" people 2468120
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Sometimes I really look inside of myself and try to think, if ten years ago, someone told me that AI would be an unpredictable product that sort of bungles tasks and isn't easy to program and is a problem for cyber-security. And I do think I'd have said, "yeah that makes enough sense" 53144
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I just can't bear the like full minute of "coming up" that seems to precede every conversation hosted on youtube now. with the dumb intense music and out of context dramatic clips. it must end 3956126
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I guess the main draw with the apocalypse is that it can only happen once, and so any case against it that that wants to point out that no apocalypse has yet occurred sort of inherently falls flat 223394

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I don't even know what to make of AI Doom anymore. Ezra Klein out there, a true believer, "agnostic about the possibility of human extinction."

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I like Ed Sheeran being like "I never spoke about politics. Because my music is about unity, not division" and then the music is like "la la la la I want to touch your body wow. sexy crazy body wow" 707707981
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 19/09/2026There was a consensus for some time that default robot voices should be women, that this was the more aesthetically pleasing option. But now the AI chatbots are men default. Isn't that odd. Feel like there's something strange about this 2150924
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 18/09/2026so it's settled in. I have taken my time to judge YouTube view inflation. And I hate it and it's so stupid 64117
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It’s weird that in the first interdimensional cable episode of Rick and Morty, Jerry is famous in all those timelines. But then we all these different timelines and different versions of Jerry, and guess who’s never famous? Jerry. Do you guys think that there’s some big plot reason for that? Like ma 112044
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I really believe I could align AI, with ease honestly. When it did something nasty I would say NO and the AI would say yes sir, and it would just go on like that until the AI was kind and friendly to all 144399
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 17/09/2026what are the journalist ethics when your subject uses a phrase incorrectly and you put that incorrectly used phrase in the headline. like if you watch the video, hasan literally means the opposite of pound for pound. he means "in an absolute sense." that's odd www.axios.com/2026/09/17/h...axios.comHasan Piker on "The Axios Show": America worse than al-Qaeda "pound for pound"The Twitch streamer is central to GOP attacks on Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan Senate race. 2437922

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 16/09/2026the only event that people talk about when it comes to AI doom is bioweapons of some kind or other, and I'm just not confident that computational intelligence is the real gating mechanism there 243175
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I think we should at least regulate AI companies in ways they don’t want and get mad about. This is my compromise 473535
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 14/09/2026why has god made me an apple fanboy. when I look at the folding iPhone I go insane. It makes me feel so pedestrian and low minded 172741
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I know my AI doom obsession is getting annoying but please indulge me. When Nate Soares is asked how the AI would extinct us, he often says “if you play against Magnus Carlsen, you don’t know how he’ll checkmate you, just that he will” 204919

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 10/09/2026people working in a field doesn't just magically confer an ability to divine information. an AI worker saying they're worried still needs evidence beyond, "if this happens and this happens, then this bad thing will happen, and I just think it's pretty likely that it will" 1557149
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I write 200 words of creative writing a day these days. and so many days I just open up a tab and write gibberish until I get to 200 words and think. well 😀 that was productive 😀 job well done 🤠 1548711
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I know I’ve been tweeting a lot about AI doom lately, and dismissing it a bit. But just to be fair and balanced I want to say. If you’re working at an AI company and you say “I’m really worried that the thing I’m building will extinct humanity” and you keep building it, you should surely go to jail 201152111
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I see the popularity of like AI dictation tools and, can people dictate serious writing? I understand writing an email or something but how are you going to write paragraphs and papers and proposals and stuff with dictation 332535
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The fact that the most prominent AI alarmists sometimes write like this is such a big problem. All the more if he’s right lol 333918
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Just trying to get a pulse -- would you describe AI as a bubble at this point? Has your opinion about AI changed over the last year or so? 1353164
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 02/09/2026someone commented on this video saying (very paraphrased) "Don't you think it's a problem that people can't participate in social life anymore without being surveilled by the panopticon of social media" and I really feel like we have to go back to basics and stop saying words 154028
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I understand why there’s lots of nostalgia for everything in the past, but when I see stuff like this I just want there to be some reckoning with the fact that pewdiepie, an undeniably very shrill and annoying online presence, was the most popular YouTuber for so long lol 861980138

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I love Joyce Carol Oates so much. I have always loved her. I loved her when she wrote the sensational short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” And I loved her when she said Halloween skeletons were in poor taste 1274525
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 30/08/2026my main piece of advice to aspiring video essay type youtubers is: Make less ambitious claims. You don't NEED to tell me about the direction of society as a whole. You don't even need to tell me a big story about how some person or text is all one way or all another way. just tell me what u see 242247251
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 29/08/2026the problem with having your video be in copyright jail for 3 weeks is that when it goes back online, you no longer care if it gets views. like you still care as much as you would about a month old video, very little 83522

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 28/08/2026can i be on that youtube show where they give you your last meal. I could be cheap for them, it could be a just hotdogs dinner if that's what it takes 1436610
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I think I might like the youtube change to view counts. like for one thing, I'm tired of the shorts people and the tiktok people mogging. also, imagine if youtube did it in the opposite direction, halved everyone's views, the people would riot lol 21570
Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 28/08/2026as it turns out, the view increases were not smaller than some creators were thinking. Today was the first day views were tabulated differently and I released a Little Joel vid. It has 94k views (shocking, very high) and 54k "engaged" views (views counted the way they were before the change) 629913

Big Joel @bigjoel.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I don't think it's fair that loveable people have an advantage in this world. Like Gotham Chess is such a loveable guy, perhaps even despite himself. He is loveable in a way that's hard to describe and so he stays winning 61832
