Have I got this right? AI is NOT going to kill us all. But tech bros and their feckless handmaids are determined to make sure it enshittifies everything it touches so hard and fast an awful lot of the human race is going to wish it was dead. What have I missed?

One does not have to be Jewish to condemn Netanyahu's war crimes or to discuss antisemitism. That's completely absurd. By that rationale, non-Jewish US troops had no business liberating Auschwitz during WW2. Jewish rights are human rights, as are Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni, and Iranian rights.

Put the horrid substantive politics aside for a second. Important to note that the vast majority of Winston's assertions are fact free, ahistorical nonsense. NZF's Teaty policies intersect with empirical reality about as much as their RFK-esque health policies do: very little.

I don't like GDP as a measure - it was not designed for what it's used for now. But, it's worth pointing out GDP can go up cos companies just make more profits. Eg if people have less to pay on their mortgage, and companies grab the $, GDP goes up! Woohoo. Doesn't mean jobs or wages do though [Ends]

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.
