This is not news, look at his grifter history

It may be not news for you (or for me), but it could be news for the average American geezer, :)

I accused him of that years ago when he ripped apart their ethics team and showed his true colors. And between then and now he made every effort to solidify his shady image every step of the way.

Wow, who would have thought?

It seems the AI hype is shrinking (or at least slowing down), since people are more and more critical of it: intellectual property, workers rights, power consumption, climate impacts, usefulness and more.

I can’t recommend Ed Zitron’s blog enough: Where’s your Ed at

He did an interview with Adam Conover a month ago, which was also really interesting.

The other blog I highly recommend is The Luddite, e.g. Why is there an AI hype?

To be honest, I hope you are right. I was never a fan of it, and seeing people get on the hype train made it feel even more like something that needs more time to cook

What I dislike in hype trains is people who don’t know fundamentals, but sincerely believe their hype is some game-changing invention, while I’m narrow-minded and plain stupid.

The thing with hype trains is you get aboard or get left behind. Maybe they hype leads to a ghost town destination, but as a massive business you’d rather be on the train than not.

I can also recommend Ed Zitron’s blog, it’s good stuff, very in-depth and lots of alternative sources.
