I have a horrible feeling that Adams might have ended up writing a lot more books by getting LLMs to do his first drafts, given his technooptimism.

It is ENDLESS cons, scams, and false ideas
ENDLESS real people and fake people/comments/ratings/sentiment/gamed information/purchased accounts participating in it
whether knowingly or unknowingly
and NO MATTER who/where you are,
you are sought as a mark

Acknowledges issues superficially, but rejects the scale and urgency.
Believes tech, growth, or political reform can fix systemic failures.
Invested emotionally and economically in denial.

🧵 here makes some good points for #Criminology and #CriminalJustice
We are increasingly seeing varying forms of #CodedBias being written into #policing tech pushed by #TechBarons, and the resulting ethical, moral, and practical blindness being ignored due to #TechnoUtopianism/#TechnoOptimism

There is much that is profoundly wrong with the police and CPS in the UK. There are cases of abuses, there is a lack of accountability, and their reputation is bad enough that victims often don't even go to the police.

Right.
Additionally, (a) the premise of balancing the budget is wrong, and (b) the firing of people and destruction of institutions is economically making everyone poorer.
It is just pol-pot dressed up in technooptimism.

"Lots of #TechnoOptimism with #CarbonCature being represented as the big solution with no reference to it being tremendously expensive yet minimally effective or how it distracts us from the real solution, which is the transition away from #FossilFuels, a really critical aspect of #PetroPedagogy."
For nearly 50 years #BigOil slow-walked the world to disaster by lying about the danger of Climate Change & creating denial/doubt about the science & solutions. Our latest show digs in to a new report about how they're STILL doing it to our children in our schools
