"why Europe needs to take its own defence more seriously. Russia is still a long way from winning on the battlefield, despite devoting half its budget to the war... If the West chooses to let its enemies win, history will not judge its leaders kindly"

Large family on a table at Xmas.
A 18 year old woman who recently joined University seriously tells us that she can't imagine how to set an alarm clock without #Siri.
No, it wasn't metaphorical or something like that. She definitely has no clue how this could be accomplished without using Siri on her #iPhone

Democrats had a big year of learning the new online media ecosystem, investing in it and showing up in the right places.
Now they need to grow rapidly
Donors on the left need to take the threat of the rightwing media ecosystem seriously and start investing a lot more in ways to capture that.

So I've read a lot of both academic and "popular" criticism of AI; spanning decades from the 1940s to now.
I think both things are good and proper and needed.
And further than that I posit that you actually need at least some bombastic and "flashy" writers in order to reach more people
What's kind of funny is that in many of the academic critiques of AI the authors comment on how their colleagues came belligerent and hostile towards them because "they aren't writing seriously"—this is found all over Weizenbaum, Dreyfus, Anders, etc.
Anyway, READ MORE OLD BOOKS :)
