Too Focused on Buzzwords the Media is Paid to Saturate the Collective Mind With
From their official coverage (a weekend ago):
The MSM (MainStream Media) is intentionally injecting the term "AI" into almost everything. As Cory Doctorow put it 3 years ago: "Pick up a rental car at SFO and drive in either direction on the 101 – north to San Francisco, south to Palo Alto – and every single billboard is advertising some kind of AI company. Every business plan has the word “AI” in it, even if the business itself has no AI in it. Even as two major, terrifying wars rage around the world, every newspaper has an above-the-fold AI headline and half the stories on Google News as I write this are about AI. I’ve had to make rule for my events: The first person to mention AI owes everyone else a drink."
By repeating such buzzwords or misnomers we lose control of the story, the narrative. The site pulltheplug.uk became more about "AI" than about pulling the plug, which involves GAFAM and endless debt that will eventually crash the economy very badly (because they won't pay back the money they borrowed).
The above article (see screenshot) contains the term "AI" 34 times. So they seem to be embracing the message of non-sequiturs. Just because companies do really bad things in the digital realm does not imply "AI" or follow from "AI". █
