On this trajectory a bleak destination comes into view: a synthetic pseudo-reality mediated by the sycophantic mechanical offspring of narcissist Silicon Valley oligarchs. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The hype doesn’t need your credence. It is puffed up enough on Silicon Valley finance to distort the global economy and fuel geopolitical rivalries, shaping your world regardless of whether the most fanciful claims about AI capability are ever realised. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Travelling on someone's aicraft, however many time, is not an offence. By seeking to deny that information a sort of Streisand effect comes into play. #wato
