Maybe Ed likes that the FT is queasy enough about AI and Big Tech to target criticism like his and also likes that photo but the article was disappointingly substance-free. I’ll stick to reading Ed himself.

Editor: “I was clear this time, right, this is not a sexy Tiger Beat cover photo” Photographer: “I got it boss, real dark and menacing, just like you wanted”

the smiling third man

What's up with tech stocks today?

the photos they used are fire. you are a walking album cover

I have their chore coat in navy and that thing goes HARD.

Love u ed

great photos. i hope you also chatted with them abput how casting you as a future noir protagonist means an ennis house tile should show up. that’s contractual

Playing anything good?

More pipe smoking required in study photo.

Do those 2 photos represent (2 of) your "oscillating personalities"?

And by doing that, you inspire many wieirdos and neurodivergents (such as myself) to do the same. (Weirdo is not a perjorative in my vocabulary).

You’re honest and blunt. When so much language has become empty press releases or manipulative double speak, honesty is the only antidote. These traits shouldn’t be remarkable, but they are.

Oh good. I may be misreading it.

Also, fellow Brit who happens to live in CA and worked in ad tech for 25 years. Cheers mate.

Jesus, yeah. Same man.

Picked up the Switch version yesterday. So good

Of course you'll eventually get around to DYNASTY WARRIORS ORIGINS ☯️🙏🏻

excellent 👌

Electric Boogaloo!

Furious that 1.0 isn’t already out so I can’t download it before I leave for work

1.0 on my birthday? It's a sign!

I put about 90 hours into it since July, I'm very excited too. I hope you have so much fun playing it tonight

Sick boots! I adore Chelseas.

Loved you in Gattaca, Ed

i love how vaguely ominous and powerful that second photo makes you look. "Local man prepares to once again be vindicated, to his mix of satisfaction and grim horror. More at 11"

That second image is sick as hell and also I like to imagine the racing angry thoughts about tech and AI behind that smoldering look

This has to be the most Twin Peaks you've ever given in a photo shoot.

Phantom of the opera for that second photo

Generally a good piece, but it’s just so funny that it claims that you’re not acknowledging that other critics exist by pointing to Gary Marcus’ bruised ego. You constantly acknowledge that you’re not alone in your criticism, Marcus is just upset you’re not talking about him. Wtf.

real fuckn sexy just like we asked for as usual ed thanks

stop being such a thirst trap ed

Will you can post the one with my bum out and I won’t even blink, come on

There is one podcast I eagerly await: BetterOffline. Thanks, Ed. Keep being different!

It is strange that the piece makes it sound like this is only about personal animus or vibes rather than about technical limitations and financial overreach- like, nowhere in their piece are your arguments & extensive list of predicted limiting conditions on the AI bubble discussed

These pics go so fucking hard brother

Big Loki vibes

Love these photos - your face in the first one is how I imagine you looking whenever someone says "but the cost of inference is coming down!"

Got those pics of the AI hater, boss, real fuckin sexy like you wanted

When is your GQ profile? You're ready!

Don Draper but he's a bit of a brat.

why'd they make you look like the guy who gets kicked out of the eugenics technocracy for getting hit by a car and becoming paralyzed from the waist down

Got those pictures of Ed, real sexy, just like you asked

Ed Zitr-got-it-goin-on.

except they do read them

"You get those pictures of the screaming AI guy?" "Sure did, boss. Real fucking sexy. Just like you asked for."

*chefs kiss*

give me your brownest room

Which Bauhaus video is that pic from?

Can't believe you missed an opportunity for a professional-grade smiling man photo. Disappointing.

the first photo looks like someone interrupted you just as you were winning an epic Mario Kart battle.

Really enjoying that one quote about that one journalist who refuses to be named. Also really enjoying the fact that, by putting them in the section about "AI skeptic" journalists mad at you without *confirming* said journalist themselves is an AI skeptic, it seems like obfuscation.

Do you feel more like one of the Brownfield guys in The Big Short or Steve Carrell?

Hell yeah

Love the don't know how tf to do a sarcasm vibes, fuck off with that

dw dude I got what you were saying

You look like a character in a Jason Bourne film sitting and waiting to get a call for an assignment, hehehe!

“secretly doing PR” // Yeah. And Robert Evans is "secretely" a lunatic What a brilliant piece of investigative work from the unnamed "journalist"

had a similar thought lol
