I don't trust Nate B Jones at all. This guy has a podcast about AI for CS people and I think it's propaganda designed to bring the doubters back. All of his podcasts lead with validating some problem we've all noticed with the way AI has been implemented, but then it pivots to "but it's not really as bad as you think."

This gives the illusion of balanced reasoning. Considering both sides.

But the real reason I don't trust this guy is he put up a graph like this:

If you don't know who "Nate B Jones" is don't worry about it too much. Just make note of his face since one of his videos might drift across your feed if you follow AI news. He gets like 100k views a day, which is a lot for a technical podcast with a narrow focus like AI.

But about that graph... He said something like "dark code is going to 10 X as a problem in the next year" which is a fine thing to say, but also just, like, your opinion … man.

But then he puts up a graph about it?

The good news is next year there will be 10x less AI Podcasters because they will have been systematically hunted down by the cyborgs.

Listen, John. Things are looking up.

@futurebird @snork303

Not every increase is a good thing, of course.

This is a fun meme template.

Okay, just one more.

@passenger @futurebird @snork303 Thank you for this thread! These meme graphs have been the highlight of my morning coffee & toast (which was also delicious). ☕️ 🥖
