2025 Headline of the Year nominee (April)

@paulisci Vaugely remember a quote that some people don't understand certain things because their salary depends on not understanding it.

@paulisci I suspect that he does understand why but is pretending to not understand, because Microsoft.

@paulisci “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
—Upton Sinclair

@paulisci approved

@paulisci Hi. I dont know who Suleymon Microsoft is talking to but he really needs to get out of the echo chambers of #Apathiistas ; The mainstreet person might use AI as offered but isnt among niche early adopters. They are device adopters (smart phone, Amazon Echo).. I'd more guide the convo to say people dont like pitchmakers who say AI as quickly as " its the fundamentals" to fill in gaps they really dont have mainstreet words for to explain "profiteering> civil utility worth"

@paulisci
For the people interest in reading the actual story

@paulisci
But if Satya likes and uses it then everyone else has to be stupid or ignorant ... don't they?

@paulisci the eyes of Upton Sinclair's corpse just popped open
