#ai #antiai #uspol #USPolitics I feel like it's a very appropriate time to bonk ppl on the head with a big pillow re: doom marketing. The "oh AI can bring about the end times" IS doom marketing. This supposed ex-employee of Anthropic with no LinkedIn (in Silicon Valley?!) didn't cite anything really concrete for his assertion. AI is deeply, deeply unpopular, and much of its usage has been nonconsentually torpedoed into our lives. AI being hyped up to be this Big Bad World-Ender is...still hype. We cede to the framing of AI as anything truly competent when we buy into doom hype.
