Why is late-night satire examining this reality with far more critical rigor than the very institutions whose job it is to study, regulate, and safeguard the intersection of tech, politics, and society? It is striking to watch those tasked with protecting the public stand at the front of the line, ready to blindly buy whatever tech billionaires put on the shelf..

@wlaatje US media is not allowed to turn a critical eye to AI (among many other things) because it’s owned by people who have a vested interest in AI succeeding.

@wlaatje Late night satire has a point t of view. Journalism —particularly American journalism— is famously the View From Nowhere.

@wlaatje It was fun seeing him ripping at them, but he missed most of the real damage they're doing. We already know they're a sham intended to centralize wealth. Let's talk about the cognitive impact, the environmental impact, and the criminality inherent in their training.
