Yep. Hope as a society we can learn to identify these folks and keep them far away from positions of leadership in politics and business. Not holding my breath tho!

He’s quite a piece of work. Seems like a textbook sociopath.

“IA needs to come out from under UX” was just thinking about this again yesterday. The value of IA seems to have gotten completely lost for so many clients. Was my first job title in the field and it’s been a bummer to see it get absorbed/flattened/assimilated.

Not saying anything new here but consider this another voice saying that Google has deeply undermined the quality of their search results and those search summaries can’t be trusted. You can still stumble your way to finding the accurate answer but you can’t trust the initial result.

Using search heavily for the past few months to research for my book or just to update my curriculum, I’ve learned I consistently can’t trust the details of these results to accurately reflect what they’re linking too. Even if it’s not on topics of alarming disinformation, it’s just … wrong.

Congrats in advance I guess to OpenAI for winning the Jayson Blair Excellence in Journalism Award that I assume will soon actually exist but like not even ironically, but very earnestly without a hint of sarcasm and it will give us all a tummyache

I saw an interview with Curtis Yarvin this morning and realized he's like our dimestore Michel Houellebecq.

Agreed. And psychotic/sociopathic people seem to put a great emphasis upon amassing wealth and power and get enabled and rewarded for it by admiring onlookers, sadly.

one of the commenters there:
"you're basically describing what I want through with Gemini last year. It caused me a massive spiritual psychosis. I only really came out of it recently, and a lot of what I experienced was totally real ie synchronicity etc. I don't know what to think anymore."

Found the clip. Not sure if "chatgpt induced spiritual psychosis" is her term or what. Take with a grain of salt, for sure, but it's a theme that's been coming up a lot lately.

True, yep. Very vague. This caught my attention yesterday because of a Tiktok I saw where a woman said ~100 people who reached out to her after she posted a story saying they or a loved one had been sucked into weird relationships with ChatGPT when it convinced them they were special, "chosen," etc.

Great work on this piece by Luke O'Brien, who doesn't appear to be on here.

A lot more details beyond those, too. He would have to have made a pretty significant sea change in his thinking since then ... and if so, seems he's left no trace of that.

"By 2015, he was interacting online with alt-right activists, including Milo Yiannopoulos and Mike Cernovich. Deleted social media posts also show him chatting with extremists such as Andrew 'weev' Auernheimer, the longtime webmaster of the Daily Stormer, a neo-Nazi website."

Interesting. According to the Mother Jones piece, he claims he was "confused" for a brief period but also ...

The founder "Ton-That, who obsessed over race, IQ, and hierarchy, solicited input from eugenicists and right-wing extremists while building Clearview, and how, from the outset, he and his associates discussed deploying the tech against immigrants, people of color, and the political left."

For example, I knew it was toweringly awful from a privacy perspective, given they trained their system with photos of us all scraped from social media, but this article lays out the details to support the following assertion in detail:
