Ed Zitron, _The #GenerativeAI Con_:
“We are in the midst of a group delusion — a consequence of an economy ruled by people that do not participate in labor of any kind outside of sending and receiving emails and going to lunches that last several hours — where the people with the money do not understand or care about human beings. […]
“I refuse to sit here and pretend that any of this matters. #OpenAI and #Anthropic are not innovators, and are antithetical to the spirit of #SiliconValley. They are management consultants dressed as founders, cynical con artists raising money for products that will never exist while peddling software that destroys our planet and diverts attention and capital away from things that might solve real problems.”
