A few months ago, Casey Newton of Platformer ran a piece called "The phony comforts of AI skepticism," framing those who would criticize generative AI as "having fun," damning them as "hyper-fixated on the things [AI] can't do."
I am not going to focus too hard on this blog, in
The leaders behind the funding, functionality, and media coverage of the tech industry have abdicated their authority so severely that the consensus is that it’s fine that OpenAI burns $5 billion a year, and it’s also fine that OpenAI, or Anthropic, or really any other generative AI company has no path to profitability. Furthermore, it’s fine that these companies aredestroying our power grid andour planet, andit’s also fine that they stole from millions of creatives while simultaneously undercutting those creatives in an already-precarious job market.
Amazing, as always. That AI is . . . what it is.
