- ai_critic 2mo agoSometimes it really is sufficient to say "This person is a grifter and from that all else follows".
- dgellow 2mo agoIt’s fine if you do not want to engage with the person‘s work, but source of revenue is just one component to evaluate if someone is grifting
- MarkusQ 2mo agoFrom the article "A more common defense is to say, just in general, people attack Zitron because of Y (usually his style), but they never address his points." The article "engages with Zitron's work"; the post you responded to merely extended the discussion to speculate on why Zitron might be producing it. (btw, for the record, I'm an AI-hype skeptic and _also_ an AI-head-in-sand skeptic; as far as I can tell, both sides are full of malarkey.)
