ed zitron lies to people for money, yes

Or y'know the inverse: the AI labs lie to people for money. I guess we'll see who's right when the bubble bursts.

tbh the ai labs could do with a little less honesty

In the sense that they'd make more money or in the sense it'd be good for society

It sorta seems like a similar dynamic to doomposting, I think; it doesn't even matter how accurate their projections are if it's a non-stop firehose of existential anxiety Like I still have issues with contemporary climate change communicators but they seem to have largely figured this out at least

we should have given al gore a fuckin' machine gun
