That's the big shame here. Some of the work he does has been extremely useful and important and him running a PR firm with clients in the tech and "AI" industry directly undermines that work. It makes the work easy for those criticised to dismiss and it makes it harder for others to build on it.

I feel like given the topic of your "tools of the trade" article this is particularly apt for this time (and I actually think this post is quite constructive!)

there really is something inherently abusive about AI. Buying into the hype means you are perpetually gaslighting your workers while desperately explaining away its faults as if they're either your own or your employees. Very nasty stuff.

If you think the LLM told you something, ask yourself: What is your belief about who's talking? What is feeding that belief?

What if tulip mania, but today! This isn't even the first time, Axios!
