Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

I sensed it but not enough to articulate at the time, but the "poptimism" trend always struck me as being less about bringing down elitist barriers and more about inverting them. Going from "Oh, you don't listen to Bartok? Tsk tsk" to "YOU MUST KNOW THIS TAYLOR SWIFT JAM, YOU ASSHOLE."

At the end of 2024, I stumbled into @shadowtodd.bsky.social’s year-end (worst?) pop singles review. It was smart and insightful and funny. And I didn’t know 80% of the songs / artists. I’m a music fan, and have loved rock and pop and hip-hop my whole life, but that was a wake-up call.

Google Gemini says that @jevinwest.bsky.social and I aren't to be trusted because in our first lecture, we had a playful example where Jevin presented data the same way that Tim Cook did, and I called bullshit on it. It hallucinates criticism and the only citations are to the lecture itself.

1. The "Explosive Growth" Slide ControversyIronically, the most direct and explicit example of this occurred during their very first "Calling Bullshit" lecture at the University of Washington.The Setup: Jevin West presented a slide to the class showing a graph that purported to show the "explosive, hockey-stick growth" of web traffic to their new Calling Bullshit website. The graph utilized standard marketing axes and compressed timeframes to make the project look like an unmitigated, runaway viral sensation.The "Bullshit": Carl Bergstrom actually had to step in and call "bullshit" on his own co-instructor's slide. When the data was displayed honestly without selective axis truncation or creative smoothing, it showed that while traffic was high initially, it heavily ebbed, flowed, and plateaued over time.The Criticism: While some praised this as a playful, planned pedagogical moment to show that "anyone can fall prey to bad data framing," critics viewed it as a perfect illustration of the double standard: when it serves a personal or professional promotional narrative (like proving your own course is a massive success), the temptation to use flawed, hype-driven metrics is incredibly high.

How it started/how it’s going

One of those kitchen sponges that look like a smiling face. This one looks like a frog face for reasons I can’t imagine other than “avoiding legal infringement.”

The sponge with all its color and texture scrubbed into oblivion—its lack of structural integrity makes the (now) gray face appear sinister or malicious instead of happy. Unseemly hairs of an indeterminate but hideous pedigree snake into and through the sponge’s once joyful features. All is lost.

All the tech goblins were philosophy students; the problem isn’t the thing you’re educated in, it’s the capture of institutions and disciplines by anti-intellectual bigots, which I have to say is a bigger problem in philosophy than in mathematics.
