I largely agree with this article (a few minor nitpicks here and there, maybe this biggest one is identifying the left as anti-science, which I won’t completely disagree with how he framed it, then goes on to talk about the magic of the mRNA vaccine the right is trying to actively divest from, but I digress)

The either-or nature of politics is kind of crazy. AI as a solution to misinformation feels distopian to me, not like as a tool, but like social cohesion and community should still be maybe a bigger goal for our society that social-engineering / brain hacking.

But then of course the tech bros also have their pathologies with Peter ”I don’t know of the human race is worry saving” Thiel

I protest and authoritarianism from the left is not the solution, but the tech right hasn’t been showering themselves with glory either, what happened to the tech optimism of the early 00s and not Marc Andreesens, “tech over people” of 2025.
