I also second anime pfps and other blue checkmarkless accounts on X producing far more grounded takes (not just for AI).

X is a very good microcosm of that producer/promoter model from Dalio except that the promoters are seemingly the entirety and they are extremely loud to the point that it triumphs all common sense and reasoning.

It's also very tiring to scroll through "I made $XXXX in 30 days with AI and I'm only 17 year old high school student" or "we shipped a ChatGPT wrapper and used dark patterns for subs"

On Linkedin its far worse, everybody is a genius and everybody needs to pay attention to me of the remote chance a recruiter from big tech will reach out and pay me a large salary for managing their impression.

All in all, it really feels like the American economy is running on pure hopium and fumes. This cannot be good for it in the long run.
