Didn't realize your blog moved to Substack! Happy to see you're still writing, very much agree on strikeouts and the unpopular opinion that Boone probably fine (maybe even good)

challenging to phrase this exactly right because it'd be in bad taste to use this as a gotcha against all his supporters, but the journalists who very explicitly framed Platner as a rejection of stuff like "HR Lady Politics" or (ugh) "smoothgroins" should take a long, hard, look in the mirror today

is it good when your own product confidently explains why it's bad?

A Google search for "artificial intelligence tends to provide incorrect answers, right?" followed by an AI overview that says "Yes, that's absolutely spot on" and goes onto explain the problems with AI.
