In my perception Sabine’s quality degraded over the last year or so.

Maybe it’s also the topics she covers. I’m not sure why she is getting into fantasies of AGI for example.

I liked the skeptical version of her better.

Agree in general -- I think the tiktok/shorts wave is biasing strongly for shorter video and then the time format kills any followup/2nd iteration-explanation

But this one was pretty good.

As far as I've seen, her position is only that AGI is pretty much inevitable. What's so fantastical about that?

I don't know if it's just the persona she plays in these videos, but it's so so so creepy and cringe.

Agreed, she's pumping out too many videos I think. Perhaps she's succumbed a bit to the temptation of cashing in on a reputation, ironically one built on taking down grifters.
