It’s a milquetoast rant but I got nothing - the employee is right. You should prepare for the world and stop acting so shocked. You had decades to call out journalists for being paid mouthpieces but you didn’t because they spewed nonsense that you agreed with and benefitted you.

Now the shoe is on the other foot. Prepare for what happens next. FAFO.

Yes, that's how I solve all problems. I can't do anything now, because I didn't do anything before. It's my rule of thumb. Never start doing things!
I also enjoy the implication everyone has had decades to do something about journalism —- I’ve barely been an adult for a decade, my bad I guess!
My bad, I should have been more clear: tech journalists have always been paid shills.
Ressentiment is like this. Steeped in envy and vindictiveness, rather than looking for ways to save the situation, it wills the destruction of others.

It has always exited, but its overt forms are very much in vogue today and even celebrated publicly.

You’re welcome to try but something tells me people resort to these satirical takes precisely because they (you) are powerless to do anything of significance.

You are welcome to continue posting nonsense but the world will move forward with AI with or without you.

>You had decades to call out journalists

If only I could get any journalists or companies to actually listen to me.

It's your own fault for not being born to billionaire parents.
