The hardest part about inevitablism here is that the people who are making the argument this is inevitable are the same people who are the people who are shoveling hundreds of millions of dollars into it. Into the development, the use, the advertisement. The foxes are building doors into the hen houses and saying there’s nothing to be done, foxes are going to get in so we might as well make it something that works for everyone.

"put your money where your mouth is" is generally a good thing.

"Talking your book" is seen as a bad thing, especially when not properly disclosed.

It can be. A week or two back there was a blog post on here about someone using an AI tool and being wowed by how effective it was, and it was only in the comments that it emerged that they worked for an AI company.

That's probably why the old saw isn't just "put your money."

Dude, it's a public company. They are required to explain their reasoning, by law.

Their "book" is their company, it's public.
