So, you didn't? Instead of a compilation, did you do a quick check?

"Ten scenarios that I invented in which AI is making my life miserable."

"Wow it turns out I just invented something damaging about someone, let me just equivocate that it's not so bad to lie about this, since I think they're a bad person anyway."

Did you make a compilation of everything they publicly said for ten years, in order to check whether your statement is correct?

This is a dog whistle to an audience that doesn't like it when companies make profit (but who would probably deserve a higher salary, according to themselves).

Overly generalizing the notion of "communication" makes this whole exchange useless, pure noise. A LLM wouldn't have made that mistake.

Unless you donated all the money you earned this year to foreign children, you are equally to blame for this "Holodomor."

It's your point of view that those were bad choices. Why pretend otherwise?

Not every conversation is about Trump, is it possible to stop this?

I don't think AI changed anything at all to the possibility of communicating between humans. This is a job that you've always been able to do alone in your cave.

European tech is often atrocious. Every single digital government program in France has been hacked, every social security number is out there, physical addresses tied to crypto wallets, etc.

Language this vague has a name: it's called "bullshit".

Using uncertainty to punish your perceived enemies is called "injustice".

"you don't even need to try to look at any correlation or causation to arrive at this" You actually very much do. If there is no causation, then it is not "their impact". Otherwise, you're just advocating for r

This cautious statement, which would indeed be fine, is an invention of yours when it comes to the article. They assert causation, calling for AI companies to be disciplined and punished, praising the EU online censorship campaign, arguing

Explicit accusation that this was caused by chatbots + call for general regulation is right there in the article: "AFP spoke to several members about their experiences. All warned that the world has to wake up to the threat unregulated

The European model will never be better than the U.S. one for productive workers like in tech. Tech workers in the U.S. have the same benefits as EU ones for three times the salary.

"the wildly popular prediction market site that has flourished in President Trump's second term." The only purpose I could see for this intro is to prime the reader negatively before any argument.

I don't believe those are the same thing. Many people lately seem just frankly enthusiastic about political murders.

Name-dropping Hannah Arendt does not rescue this from being an elaborate equivocation about murder.

I was suspicious of those random game developers getting quoted, and this is the pinned post of the one giving this cute silly story about slowing down game speed time: "Announcing TORMENT HEXUS, a match-3 roguelike about putting techn

Yes, the article is deliberately misconstruing that. The author says outright in her comments that the aim is not to engage with what Marc actually meant, but to chastise him for bad thoughts expressed on Twitter: “I get where you’re coming

Weak article. It never really tries to reconstruct what Andreessen meant, just takes a narrow quote, reads it in the least charitable way, and then spends most of its energy tearing down that version with loaded rhetoric. The comments only

Participating in the economic life before re-allocating that wealth produced to philanthropic activities sounds pretty good. Modern concentrated wealth is hardly misanthropic, since it's mostly private equity, that is, companies with p

Named engineers making public statements with their reputation on the line is not the same thing as "my friends told me." One is falsifiable, the other is not. That's not a double standard, that's basic epistemology. I&#

Yes, yes, everyone is a sycophant except you and your friends... For the record, you are lying about the quoted people having a financial interest in Elon. No it's not "to each his own". Using your free expression to smear wi
