Like how this is an explainer for laymen but still just casually drops an 'on the edge' reference. The meaning of which might not be clear to laymen (the context explains it however, so it isn't bad, just talking about how much jargon we all use).

Being that and saying stuff like :
Computers today are designed around engagement and surveillance business models rather than user needs.
Is something. Esp as they say the biggest problem is advertising and surveillance online.
Shit only got 1 of those.
(Before people ask, my cult thinks it is very important I let them edit my posts).

Truly a rightwing tech, after getting all the attention, money and data they now are mad people dont love it enough.
If you had measured the speed at which the resulting gossip had propagated across Skewers, Washington – measured it very carefully, and with sufficiently fine instrumentation – it might have been found to travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum.
How do you write like this? How do you pick a normal joking observation and then add more words to make it worse?
Still think it is wild they used the libgen dataset(s) and basically gotten away with it apart from some minor damages only for US publishers (who actually registered their copyright). Even more so as my provider blocks libgen etc.
It is sunday, so time to make some posts almost nobody will see. I generated a thing:

3 screenshots from a The Simpsons episode. Bart is sitting in his class and the whole class in the first panel says "Say the line" with eyes filled with expectation and glee, next panel a sad downlooking Bart says "AI is the future and we all need to get on board", third panel everybody but Bart cheers.
That my fault, Im Bens former weed dealer, and accidentally sold him glue instead of weed. He liked it a lot more, and easily gotten in most stores.
I get it—calling AGI a conspiracy isn’t a perfect analogy. It will also piss a lot of people off [emp mine].
No need to oversell it, I already was onboard on the 'it is a conspiracy' bit.
And you know he has done some research when he brings up Ben Goertzel. (Who last I checked now really believes in parapsychology)
Goertzel did some work with Peter Thiel

You know what people say about judging a book by its cover an all that? Of course a lot of people will fall for the 'it looks good' trap. Which is one of the whole problems of genAI, that it creates cargo cult styled texts.
E: and came across a nice skeet describing the problem " To steal a Colbertism: these are truthiness machines."
Think that is in part intentional so people don't start squabbling over what does and doesn't count as 'the edge' in edge cases, as it also quite depends on the setup of the organization/people you are talking about. But yeah it is badly defined, which is also why I noticed it.
