Exhilarating to see it stated in so many words, and frustrating that it‘s so uncommon for techbros to be held accountable to the most basic standards of science.
AI techbros: make a falsifiable empirical claim, and describe what you did to test the claim, for everyone‘s scrutiny. Just do the fucking basics?
Media: challenge their claims, and follow up when their grandiose predictions don‘t come true. Don‘t let science fiction become a substitute for knowledge.
