Greed and profiteering in AI is going to crowd out actual technological advances.
We know it will because it’s already been happening, we see it everywhere.
Public officials who sign NDAs should resign because they don’t understand the job.
And there really ought to be a law to prevent any such thing from ever happening where elected officials sign agreements to keep secrets from the communities they serve.

This shouldn’t have to be said, but apparently it it does have to be said. And I guess Katelyn Jetelina of the popular substack “Your Local Epidemiologist” is a proud collaborator. It’s really amazing that she even uses the term bedfellows to describe it. Reminder that Katelyn Jetelina was a paid communications consultant for the CDC under […]
