Andreessen Horowitz created Future to bypass journalists, as I understand it, and have actively tried to discredit journalists who are critics. This essay is the first I've seen in Future, and it fits what one might expect:

It's highly critical of others, the authors portray themselves as heroes and avoid almost all criticism of themselves. There are almost no sources and it doesn't show or attempt to show other points of view, and makes no attempt to address bias and self-interest.

In a sense, it works perfectly. Let's be aware of what it is: self-promotion from people trying to avoid scrutiny.

You are ignoring the article and attacking the publisher. Indeed, the article itself invites scrutiny.
> You are ignoring the article and attacking the publisher

I wrote specific criticisms of the article, and why shouldn't I criticize the publisher? It's necessary to know your source. People criticize publishers all the time; many criticize all journalists and their publishers with one broad brush!
