It's an interesting profile, but I don't see why it would change my opinion of him. I already knew he works in PR, it's not like a thing he hides. I don't think one error in a spreadsheet really proves anything (plus he's pretty honest about being an amateur at financial analysis -- but most of what he's looking at is pretty basic math and it's baffling that nobody has an answer to his pretty straightforward questions of how-will-this-ever-make-money)

I guess like, I don't know about an anti-ai "movement", personally I like AI-the-product but I think AI-the-industry is extremely sketchy and has motivations that I think are awful. As with all technology revolutions, my issue is more with the people than the technology itself.

I don't really like how this whole thing has become "pro ai" vs "anti ai" though. For me, I'm just really irritated when I use AI every day, I'm a professional software developer, and all my experiences with it do not match the (very annoying) hype. I kind of wish we could just go back to talking about software engineering and if people like vibe coding, great, go do that and stop all the annoying think pieces that just give CEO's even worse AI psychosis.
