my video on the antihumanism of silicon valley is good and didn't get a lot of views but worth checking out if you missed youtu.be/I8Qtrs2TDUI

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

Being suspicious of something because it sounds like it came from ChatGPT when ChatGPT was trained on stuff humans say? It's bound to happen that humans will sound a little like ChatGPT sometimes.

I hate AI as much as the next obsessive internet weirdo, but people need to chill the fuck out. You don't need to listen carefully to everyone's phrases looking for tells. It's not your job to hunt the witches, and trying to will only drive you mad.

maybe we should have a version of peer review for academically-credentialed media experts? like, if you go on TV and spout "expertise" that repeatedly proves laughably wrong, there should be material consequences for your career.

My least favourite metric that we’ve all decided it’s important to art criticism now is box office receipts, which have become a proxy for the culture war. “I wish I was having more interesting conversations” is 100% right.

the new video is good. it's about why criticism is so important not only to culture but also to our ability to read the political situation. it features interviews with good people. (you can skip the sponsor) www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUcy...
