Musk and Zuck and Bezos saw the merest whiff of judgment over their agendas as an unacceptable betrayal because that is how they think as well The deal they made in their heads was that they would have everlasting adoration for their every decision. Turns out they forgot to ask anyone else about it

There's a really good @juliusgoat.bsky.social piece about this - that what supremacists crave most is not being perceived as the kind of person who does the thing that they do. The parallels with prompt goblins should be apparent. The thing they want most is to be seen as producers, not consumers.

Dan Ariely said at least one true thing imo. In a piece about lying, he said everyone -- even someone who's done monstrous things -- wants to be able to look in the mirror and think they're a good person, or at least that they had no other option. Some people need that reassurance externally, too.

Human creativity is one of the few things you can't get just by having a rich father. That's why the AI bros hate it so much.

But (and I think @doriantaylor.com gets credit for this phrasing) they are not on the cutting edge of technology, they are retail users of a tool marketed as "doing all of the work for you." And nothing makes them more furious than having that reality pointed out.
