I wasn't actually referring to Lanier because he's mostly been a lone voice in the woods, even as he's highly influential in some circles. I was actually referring to the noisy self-promoters currently polluting Hacker News with their AI posts, but now that you mention it, maybe Lanier fits that category of insightful people with few followers. How long has he been telling people to delete social media? How long have people been ignoring him? The world is finally coming around and I for one would be glad for him to become as famous as some of the noisy ones.
