Calling a bunch of LLMs a "council" is just rebranding well known ensemble methods with shrill marketing hype, nothing original or out of the ordinary. Mixture of experts and every other idea in his stack has a literature older than PewDiePie's career.

Yet another attention craving influencer who shilled crypto scams during the crypto bubble and is now marketing "AI councils" during the AI bubble.

He's not a serious or honest person, AI is just what he pivoted to after crypto. That's not innovation; it's attaching trendy branding to ideas that were already old when Marvin Minsky wrote The Society of Mind in 1986, three years before PewDiePie was zero years old in 1989.

The only thing PewDiePie's brought to the table is cleverly optimized YouTube thumbnails designed to attract clicks. The architecture is decades old; only his marketing and shilling is state of the art.

Does what PewDiePie calls a council not resemble a Poldermodel? That’s all I associated with it. Please don’t lecture me about what to watch and drag up negative associations that have nothing to do with the subject (multiple LLMs voting for the best answer) for a simple observation.

Zonnetje in huis.

edit: also, 7 years on and after closure of the platform I cannot find evidence of rug pulls or exit scams associated with Dlive or any of their underlying crypto funding mechanisms, so before judging others on the content they consume maybe don’t take random YouTubers at their word and then don’t look into it 7 years after the fact.
