Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Something really sad about the Maya Imamori situation is you can't even write it off as an idol/japan specific issue, it's worldwide. The entertainment industries of the entire planet will toss talented, young, vulnerable women to the dogs the instant some gutter rag makes a fake stink

...this is very basic rhetoric here. Zitron first connects with the reader and how it's about them, then he pulls from an anecdote by relating.
His core point is pretty simple: big companies create easy products to sign up for, and difficult ones to leave. This is a very well known phenomenon.

relatedly, one of the most truly pathetic things that I’ve ever read in my entire life was Ed Zitron saying that he cannot live a normal life (let alone thrive) anymore without Google, MSFT, and fucking Instagram (but they deliberately changed those services to harm him, the main character)

I genuinely wonder when people are gonna start voting with their wallets and stop rewarding companies for using AI, Arc Raiders using it for genAI voices is frankly disgusting and it blows my mind that some people will defend it, and now Arc Raiders is sitting at 3rd top selling on Steam

The superpower of books like Sapiens is that they require expertise in like 12 academic fields to debunk. So you get these super detailed takedowns of small sections that look to laypeople like nitpicking.

I get 100% more information about the performance you want from a crappy scratch track recorded by Jeff in the back office on his phone, than I get from the eerily dead-sounding stolen voice clone of a colleague.
"We're only using AI as placeholder dialogue, to get a sense for how it'd sound with voices"
Why?? Literally why??? You could grab the shittiest laptop microphone and DO that
