@Moon I don't know if this guy is smarmy or just kinda dense, does he not realize that relying on AI summarization to "get the good stuff in 10 minutes" and "social media that works for me" is just as easily gamed like search engines, especially if you are like him and follow hashtags?

I keep coming back to this SciFi novel I read 20 years ago called "Otherland", where nobody actually reads news and instead just lets their personal software "agents" (a pretty good accidental approximation of where current AI tech is headed) give them the important stuff and sends them to go do research for more detailed info if necessary. It's really neat and nifty, because it's fiction and the fiction conveniently omits the fact that a world that has agents that sift the news, there will be also agents that prep the news for the sifters so nobody gets to actually bypass the propaganda and the advertising.

I mean, good for the early adopters, enjoy the moment I guess, I enjoyed having google as a sysadmin in the 2000s. It won't last.
