It is INCREDIBLY damning that our society has regressed to the point that it doesn't recognize this as a bullshit marketing move to invite regulatory capture and essentially bail these unprofitable companies out.

This article is a textbook case of accepting the framing of something by bullshitters and running with it before thinking "why am I breathlessly being told this over and over again? Could there be another $$$ motive here?".

Jacob Coxon turns out to be solid EA all the way down, since his student days at Cambridge

his Goodreads is a fucking delight. You can tell he's a rationalist because his top books are E. T. Jaynes and Scott Aaronson. He tried Mishima and couldn't hack the distance, and I'm going to go so far as to say he didn't read Mishima because he was looking for a good writer, but because he heard Mishima was a reactionary.
