A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

Perhaps a good starting point for the Teesside Airport shenanigans would be; why did you design such an arcane structure in the first place? Was it to ensure FOIs could be avoided?
Nobody has ever done an inquiry into the airport and it cannot be FOId, due to an arcane share structure involving a charity. So its inner financial workings are opaque.
But the liabilities at STDC - and qs about who is on the hook - *had* been red flagged before, by the Tees Valley Review in 2024

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

The sheer number of ads touting AI tells you how fucked and over-leveraged these companies are. You don't spend this much on marketing a thing you called "inevitable" unless you are seriously underwater and it ain't inevitable

yeah but now you spend ten extra minutes on google trying to get the correct results and seeing a million extra ads, which was the goal
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
