I'd love more of the msm to pick up these articles.

I need to convince my family this current state of AI is just smoke, mirrors and debt, but i need a normie-credible source to anchor it.

Does anyone know of one? Guardian would do.

Why do you need to convince them?

MSM is too scared to talk about these topics. If the AI companies fall, the global markets will crash. Banks lend out too much money to those companies, same for retirement funds and the owners of those media.

This might be a case of too big to fail and "look out China will use it to destroy us". That's what those AI companies are betting on at this point. Their last hope, apart from continuing the deception for as long as possible.

China is already eating our lunch in everything else. At this point, I'm just gonna learn some mandarin and wear a jade necklace.
