Same here. It's not that I wouldn't have the time. It's about principles. Some exceptions aside, text is just the better medium for actual content (not so much for the big show, though). Put some images or clips into the text if it makes sense, but don't make everything a video. I'm sure a lot of people here cannot even imagine how we can continue living without having seen that clip. And 10000s of other ones - the b…

The value in this clip is in entertaining you. The delivery is a major part of it. I agree that too much information is delivered (poorly) via video these days, but this is not an example of that. It would also be silly (I think) to prefer a condensed summary instead of actually watching your favorite show on Netflix.

Oof. Some things aren’t purely informational. You can’t summarize experiencing Harder Drive, you can only get a description of what happens in it. Actually watching Harder Drive actually is the point. You spend 30 minutes (lol I wish it was 40) watching something fun/funny and feel good while you’re doing it.

So it's entertainment? Alright.

is there a TL;DW on this? I don't have the patience for these long drawn out videos with bad audio.

Unfortunately no. With a short attention span, you will just have to miss out on what makes his videos awesome. For this type of thing, making it accessible for you would ruin the magic.

The commenter could have ADHD or some other disadvantage outside of their control. Imagine applying what you said to someone in a wheelchair—“making it accessible to you would ruin the magic.” Gross.

Huh? Making many things wheelchair accessible would ruin them. Stad for wheelchair people, but not a bad thing to acknowledge... Right?

You're in luck because the video is also available in the form of a research paper http://tom7.org/papers/murphy2022harder.pdf

Why are you asking me again when I’ve already stated my position?

That's not a good summary of this video. I wonder how much other content you've skipped because some AI told you it was something it wasn't.

I skipped it because it's 40 minutes long and I had lots of things to do.

I used the AI tool because I didn't expect anyone else to take their time to explain it and the 19 page pdf seems to be meandering without a coherent thesis.

So the answer to your question is 0 because that's not what happened.
