I agree that demonizing the technology both hide the systems that exploit and weaponize it and create FUD that does more harm than good (although it makes for good clickbait which is I guess why this happens in the first place heh)
Yeah that's a great point there too- the click bait and FUD is a bit of a distraction considering the current climate. It makes me think of the fashionable straws thing vs everything else that is utterly destroying the environment.
yes! tbh the loss function is all wrong. pretty much across the whole technology and media industries we(*) are optimising for clicks and attention (=revenue), not real impact. People laugh at the paperclip maximizer, but media industry is a great example of a very dangerous one.
This is really funny- I’ve never told anybody this but I think of maximizing profit as a terrible objective function. It becomes obvious immediately that it’s way overly simple and optimizing for things we don’t actually want collectively.
