Brilliant is supporting LLM's now and teaching people how to make them, which due to the massive amount of energy they use AND the ethical concerns around plagiarism and generally making the internet slowly unusable means they should not be supported in the least. This runs counter to the message your channel is trying to share and further exacerbating climate change and habitat loss. It was disgusting enough to see Ze Frank still giving ad spots to them, but for this channel it is just gross. edit: I earnestly hope that anyone else that cares about this drops this channel if they do not put out a statement about dropping them in a couple of days.

@@scottmoldenhauer8908 Well TBF, the "newbies" who are renaming species are also usually also trusted scientists. Obviously "tadpole shrimp" is no Linnaean binomial or anything so formal but I don't have any reason to believe it's less taxonomically valid than "triops" for a common name at least. That being said, I think writing down every new name you hear for a species is a great idea. Especially considering how much common names can vary by region and even interfere with other species. For example, "daddy long legs" could refer to a spider, a non-spider arachnid, or a huge species of fly, depending on where you are. And that species of fly could also be called a mosquito hawk, not to be confused with the "mosquito hawk" dragonflies. Common names are linguistically cultural, as much prescriptivists might wish otherwise.
