Pretty good rundown as to why treating AI as a boogeyman is just as bad as hyping it up.

By treating AI as a boogeyman, you are making the jobs of AI bros legitimizing it easier. While it's a threat, we need to have a new approach.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Very informative!

I love this title, it makes it sound like AI is using Ed Zitron to destroy America

cealer.bsky.social•51 days ago

I do think that this convo has the issue where it starts with AI is bad as opposed to AI is misused.

Finally got through this episode. Was hoping it actually got somewhere, but my god this could have been 20 minutes. You guys really like listening to yourselves talk.

AI a great tool for making teachers jobs easier, for just one concrete example of how people are using AI on a regular basis right now...

I'm gonna have to turn on Youtube Notifs because these are not showing in my recommendations even though I am subscribed.

Fantastic episode -- midway through and loving it

drdietcoke.bsky.social•48 days ago

You should consider inviting @acollierastro.bsky.social on your show sometime to talk about this too. She's a physics PhD who uses machine learning for work and has great videos on YouTube about topical sociopolitical issues, but from a scientist's perspective, including ai and amazon shittiness

If AI can't get the fingers right, then all hope is lost... ;)

The USA continues to destroy the USA, and hopes to take the rest of the world with it.

Damned good episode. And seeing Ed instead of just hearing him moved my Kinsey score.

theincognito.bsky.social•50 days ago

Adam & @edzitron.com, this was so good. You guys articulate how I've been feeling about this nonsense in an informative and comical way. Cheers

Excellent episode. Ed Zitron does a fantastic job articulating all of the reasons for the hype surrounding AI and the “rot” of the tech industry as a whole.
