This is also why I'm concerned about AI Mad Cow disease. As more and more of what is written/published online is not subject to a human editing process, we're being exposed to more and more "prion" memes. Things that *seem* like facts, but with a slightly warped twist. We integrate them and go mad.

Weird how 30 years ago, young conservatives saw themselves as the bulwark against postmodernism, and now, the young Turks of the right wing (or Libertarians, or whatever you call yourself) are like "LOL nothing matters, facts are whatever we say they are."

Helpful of him to come give us an example of AI Mad Cow disease like that. "B-b-but I didn't get that idea from AI!" What do you think runs the various attention algorithms that have been quietly instructing you how to think since childhood, friendo?
