The UK Media can have constant coverage for weeks of a 'farmers' protest with less than 10,000 people, and about 20 farmers. But it ignores protests of hundreds of thousands or millions for Palestine or against Brexit. They don't care about the truth.

Having read a bunch of really sharp critiques of AI, I’ve found myself assuming that AI entrepreneurs must have equally smart arguments. I’m always astounded to find that they don’t: it’s just easily disproven boosterism. But then, of course it is. It doesn’t matter, because capital is behind them.
