Excuse me, do you mean to tell me that Terren, who's now supposed to run the company, the fly on the wall, hasn't been on site on the single most crucial week of your business (7:11 in the video)?

I haven't logged in here to dogpile at all even though this controversy has basically shot LTT's crediblity in my eyes, but come on! How am I supposed to believe he's nothing but a figurehead now?

From what I'm seeing, this is an extremely polished script, but one that doesn't do it for me personally. At all. If anything it makes it worse.
- Zero addressing of stuff like the Short Circuit reviews-that-aren't-reviews (so it's okay if we call an ENTIRE company's products just "good" uncritically). This is really bad, because SC videos do influence customer decisions, even though you pretend they don't and are glorified unboxings. That's BS. I myself relied on them, naively.
- ECC Squad is exploiting free volunteer work.
- Renewed focus on in-person meetings, for example. Or, in other words, making it impossible to work remotely again. Bad for the employees.
- Stealth replacing videos does not notify the bulk of the people that saw the erroneous content on release. Video corrections don't work if you're not paying attention. Both are easy copouts. There need to be more severe actions.
- The entire HR section of the video is a complete fluff piece, followed by an appeal to emotion. Yuck.

"That's also why we brought in an experienced manager, Terren, who is off-site this week or I would have brought him in to chat with you guys as well"
Not a lot of room for interpretation there.
 
If you wanna see how to handle a massive mistake in the same space, look up "CGP Grey was wrong" on youtube. That's also how actual journalists (not people who publish glorified ads like the 3090 8K video) do it. They issue a retraction.

The rest isn't even worth replying.

The only leg left to stand on for AMD is process and power advantage. If they can bang out a 3070 competitor at better wattage and undercut it, they'll be good, but I have my doubts. This is very bad for competition.
