Bernie swallowed the critihype hard, it’s painful to see

PR is the point

Even if you’re paying for the product, you’re still the product

It’s actually a violation of eBay’s terms of service to use Amazon for dropshipping. You should be able to get a refund if a seller does that.

The “we” is fearmongers like Jonathan Haidt and the UK, Australian, and other governments pretending that age-gating the internet is a solution to anything

Are you interested in the evidence and a professional’s assessment of it, or do you just want to use an ad hominem attack to reinforce your preexisting belief?

Stop spreading criti-hype! Zuck didn’t invent a mind-control ray with targeted advertising, and Sam Altman doesn’t run a terminator factory with GenAI.

For someone with your apparent sympathies, I’m surprised you’re slurring the Luddites like that when they seem like ancestors and, in their modern incarnations, allies

There is no Nobel prize in economics; the award you’re referring to was created long after Nobel’s death and has been “awarded” to many reactionaries including Milton Friedman. If someone criticized the idea that the social responsibility of corporations is to maximize profit and someone else responded by pointing to Friedman’s fake award, it would have about as much merit.

Just to be clear: you think it’s the AI skeptics whose views are faith-like, and you give me an appeal to authority to back that up?

It’s not the paper here so much as the signers that are the problem (though the NYT is more than happy to platform the worst people)

Stop repeating corpo criti-hype

Don’t buy the criti-hype

That’s not how spreadsheets work

He’s right. AI is a bubble and a grift based on the lie that it will take your job, which he knows is a lie (despite profiting from others like Altman and Amodei spouting that lie).

There was a specific clause in the deed that it had to be used for a park, and now that is not being honored

If you read the article, there was exactly this sort of clause in the deed, and now the courts are saying “fuck you”
