Popular culture is putting tech executives ghost written platitudes on NYT bestseller lists which you have to read bc you need to know what these psychos are up to but it also means enduring 200 pages of “look around you, what do you see? Furniture?”

I actually read this book like many years ago
I listened to the audiobook.. I’ll never get those 12 hrs back! 🥲
Such a doomsday view of ai without any real suggestions on what to do about it except regulate harder. 😵
Interesting, many many people recommended it for me.. Haven't opened it yet.
Maybe I didn’t read it. Might have bought it cause I liked the cover 😂😂😂

The moment I saw that Yuval Harari praising it, I knew it was definitely going to be a train wreck
Yeah... Should've noticed
There is a technological doomsday clock ticking but it isn't "muh ai". Humans by their nature, being made in the image of God, have an infinite metaphysical dignity as taught in the late Pope Francis' encyclical. You can read it here: https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20240402_dignitas-infinita_en.html
A core component of dignity is the right to privacy and by extension: the right to be forgotten. Postmodern society has made privacy very difficult for the poor masses to even survive in this world. If they want to work in order to eat and have a roof over their head, they must hand over their lives digitally and live in the surveillance state.
The system knows this and purposefully engineers its society so most normal people give in out exhaustion and abide by the rules set by the system. It antagonises and anyone and anything outside of the system and even rewards its willing human livestock for attacking others outside.
Now the scarier monster pertains to the "right to be forgotten" which finds its ontological roots in the right to privacy. Not only can they gather everything: from your DNA to your financial history, weight, height, daily routines, gps, from where your kids were born to where your parents are buried. That information is retained even after your death and used to train models of human pattern recognition to abuse future humans and rape their dignity.
That's one of the real evil plots actually going on but its not as flashy as "derr terminador, real?!" And the pop culture jerkoff session with these books and articles is used to obfuscate what's going on and enrich those who do know about it because with enough money you can buy surveillance dogs off (this is why billionaires seem more desperate for money than normal poor people you know).
Even as we don't care for Zionist NYT 🤢, the Empire of AI by Karen Hao is a much better read about all things LLMs and their future for us as a populous and planet 📚📖👁️
I can't work out if I like ghostwriting or not. It seems to me that it misses a huge proof-of-work angle, ie the author didn't go all-in, and put their heart or soul on the line, and therefore it can't be valuable
At the same time, I cna see why people do it as a way to scale their time and ideas
Wont be reading this one given your comments...
