I remember back in 2017 when "explainable AI" was the rage, and some people asked "isn't there a risk that plausible-sounding but incorrect explanations will deceive and distract people from the important questions of whether automation is appropriate for a given task?" I think about that a lot

Which forecast will come true first, Kevin Hassett’s DOW 36,000 or the Book of Revelations? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dow_36,... #EconSky

Per Wikipedia: Dow 36,000: The New Strategy for Profiting From the Coming Rise in the Stock Market is a book published in September 1999 by conservative syndicated columnist James K. Glassman and conservative economist Kevin Hassett, in which they argued that stocks in 1999 were significantly undervalued and concluded that there would be a fourfold market increase with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) to 36,000 by 2002 or 2004. The book was described as the "most spectacularly wrong investing book ever".
Five years after the book was published, it was ridiculed and traded for pennies on Amazon.com.
In November 2021, the DJIA finally did reach 36,000, 22 years after the book was published, after years of declines due to the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the September 11 attacks, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 stock market crash. At that time, Glassman hedged his original prediction saying, "The title was easy to caricature" and "Never associate a date with a number".

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

For some, AI is a solution looking for problems to solve. For others, AI is a way to avoid solving problems while giving the appearance of having done so. Neither seems sustainable or useful.
