I can't tell whether this man actually believes that he is the only one critiquing AI? I mean.. I can barely walk 2 feet without tripping over anti-AI blogs, posts, news articles, youtube videos or comments.
- ReadEvalPost 1y agoEd's main critique is about business sustainability -- it's true that there are many articles about AI on IP issues or ethics but he is unique in actually crunching the numbers on profit.
- paulluuk 1y agoThere's Financial Times, Forbes, tons of reddit posts, youtube videos.. I suppose it's possible that he's the only blogger doing this, but as far as I can see he is not the only one crunching profit numbers on the most "visible" company in the world.
- disgruntledphd2 1y agoThe FT have not covered the economics of this in any real detail at all. Not even Alphaville :(
- rsynnott 1y agoLots of people are saying "this doesn't work very well", but I think he probably _is_ the main person banging the "this makes no financial sense whatsoever" drum; that bit does seem to get weirdly skimmed over most of the time, even by many AI sceptics.
- disgruntledphd2 1y agoI think the intersection of people who use AI tools enough to have informed opinions on them, as well as enough understanding of business/finance to critique the economics is very, very small.
