Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

In my academic field of sustainability, AI still fails to explain what economic sustainability means. It's very simple.

I lecture and explain to my students that economic sustainability is about how we assess and manage our knowledge, innovations, wealth, and other man-made capital. I stress that it is ABSOLUTELY NOT profit and revenue.

Sure enough, my students submit assignments clearly written by AI that state economic sustainability is profit and revenue.

AI is regurgitating decades of green-washing and even bad academic articles that state economic sustainability is about profits. I use that AI god mode site to test several AI's at once and they've consistently gotten this wrong for 3 years.

Interesting. What is really causing the rapid decline

in my experience, reddit advertising has been idiotic for several years.

I go to a basketball subreddit. there are no relevant ads about basketball. not local team tickets, not streaming services, basketball equipment, basketball merch, or even a video game.

I go to a subreddit for a tv show. it's similar. There are no ads or links to buy dvds or tickets to a convention or anything related to the show.

They could totally target advertising based on subreddit and they don't.
