I absolutely loved this article. What a fantastic takedown of the bullshittery that is the AI industry. AI does not scale. The returns are diminishing. Line only goes up if it runs on hype and grift. Bc it's a grift run by the amoral sociopathic incel Nerd Reich.

This piece is incredibly validating for my recent dealings with them over a cheque they "accidentally" sent me then demanded back months later with penalties, so many hours wasted on the phone, along with gaslighting.

I can understand building an expensive bullet proof ballroom to protect say, a school of over 100 children from being bombed but if it's just for one awful old guy with dementia, maybe use surgical precision to resolve it -or a bulletproof bodysuit for him where he can't talk or write.

Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper is in the Epstein files and it is incumbent on Canadians to demand an investigation into Canadians that did ‘business’ with Epstein. It is awful, it is uncomfortable, and it requires our courage to root out corruption. #cdnpoli #Canadasky

There was an episode of the 80s Twilight Zone which always stuck with me about these worried parents of a young boy who loved learning and was required to take the government education test. In the end, the boy was too smart for the test so the government killed him.
