I finally found a clip of the whole thing, which is serving "original UK 'The Office'" levels of cringe, though the one in The Daily Beast that zooms in on his horrified chief of staff like she is Jim Halpert is the best version

It's kind of crazy that the Natalie Harp news cycle raised some extremely valid questions about the extent of her influence on our octogenarian narcoleptic, none were answered and the press just stopped wondering.

I sometimes think regular levels of punishment cannot be enough. Nor would medieval or biblical. We need to go all the way back to mythological. Like the heads of Google should be locked in a minatour’s maze with a quarter bar’s worth of signal so the map never fully loads.

Last month, a Google alert directed me to an interview I did with cartoonist Matt Furie—creator of Pepe the Frog…only I haven’t done any interview and I’d never even met Furie. So I clicked. "None of this is true": AI, content farms, and one completely made-up article. bsky.app/profile/then...

This essay by @mjrobbins.com really hits at the heart of all this apocalyptic asininity. martinrobbins.substack.com/p/the-ai-apo...

Behind every martyr is a narcissist, and I wonder to what extent these smart people are drawn to Al precisely because of its grandiosity; because fixing the boring problems of society like healthcare or inequality is beneath people as smart as them. As Brennan put it: "As soon as you have to accomplish specific goals in the real world, the mundanity of everyday life comes flooding in, with its endless slog of tasks variously boring, frustrating, and annoying." The appeal of this mindset to British politicians is obvious: if the world is ending, nobody needs to explain why Britain can't build a railway, house its young or raise wages; nobody needs to bother with the dull thankless drudgery of fixing it.
Will the Al apocalypse come for us all? I can't tell you that it won't, in the same way I can't say an asteroid won't collide with us five years from now. What I can say is that none of the people claiming so inspire my confidence, none of them seem to think particularly deeply about the world and how it works, or offer plausible accounts of how this could happen. GDP is not rising by double digits, employment remains high, my Claude is as stubbornly low-witted as ever. Every prediction made by this cohort in my lifetime has been wrong by orders of magnitude. I see little reason to take them seriously.
More than that, I find these people and their worldview profoundly boring. The Al apocalypse is the sort of mono-maniacal junk-intellectualism people resort to when they live a dull uneventful life devoid of stimulating interests and engagements. It is one-dimensional thought, like that guy you know on Facebook who responds to every thread with dreary rants about ULEZ. None of it leads to anything useful or interesting.
