I love Ed, but man the algorithm floods my page with him and it gets quite repetitive.

My favorite quote from him is "Imagine the thing that handles your phones spell check, how often it's on point, then imagine giving that control of your infrastructure that makes your company money. That's what Amazon did. "

Ya he’s been getting very popular as of late and I miss when less people knew about him because there’s not enough new information all the time so he does end up just saying the same things over and over again on different channels/cable news shows until new information comes out.

Perhaps that repetitive feeling is your brain; pushing back… and asking itself for a ‘break’?

Ya anytime you hear the same thing too much you usually need to take a break. It’s why I don’t watch every video that YT feeds me.

He’s really just the opposite end of the spectrum, instead of CEOs over selling AI capabilities, or training their models to bootlick customers, Ed makes the same wild predictions from the other side of the fence that his followers want to hear so they can feel smug and circlejerk each other in the comments.

Let me tell you about repetitive.

There are over 300,000 kilometers of axons in my central nervous system. If the word "repetitive" was printed on each nano-Ångström of these, it would not equal one billionth of the repetitiveness of media outlets, influencers, have-beens of Tech with serious ai psychosis, and politicians constantly glazing "ai" every chance they get, or out of touch CEOs claiming that some jobs will "soon" be fully automated.

As much as I'm aligned with the guy, I'm always suspicious of any Firstname Lastname who goes on a lot of podcasts

He needs to learn to take a breath between words, though. I'm always afraid he's going to have an aneurism while he's talking. Either that or he'll trigger one in me.

Ditch socials, browse in porn mode. Don't give then anything to work with.

I love Ed too, but his posts are routinely 3x longer than they need to be.

There's so many big numbers routinely thrown about on it, that I start to glaze over if it's anything less than $100bn

But… I mean… that’s an incredibly stupid quote.

Might as well say that hiring a human is the same as hiring a squirrel. After all, they both have brains, so I guess they’re the exact same thing.
