I don't care for personalities. You want to mark him as a grifter but is that just an emotional response? I have not bought anything from Ed, I don't subscribe to his newsletter, I don't know much about him beyond visiting his website every few weeks and reading the free articles. He does not sell me vitality pills or coffee mugs. The only soliciting he does is his paid sub stack.

But it goes both ways? Because AI promoters are also spreading FUD. That's how they make money. Because their livelihoods are tied to this technology and all the valuations. So is spreading FUD for you just a condition on whether or not you agree with the person?

If there is any FUD, it is feom other side. No one is scared after they read Zitron article, most are bored because they are dense to read.

But people are literally scared ai will destroy all the jobs after reading articles about how it will. Companies scared not to use ai whether it makes sense or not just to not miss out is where FUD is.
