      I can summarise it with AI:

      Ed Zitron, a tech beat reporter, criticizes a recent paper from Goldman Sachs, calling AI a “grift.” The article raises questions about the investment, the problem it solves, and the promise of AI getting better. It debunks misconceptions about AI, pointing out that AI has not been developed over decades and the American power grid cannot handle the load required for AI. The article also highlights that AI is not capable of replacing humans and that AI models use the same training data, making them a standstill for innovation.

        Fittingly, this paragraph is incomprehensible to anyone who hasn’t already read the blog post; who is calling AI a grift, Zitron or GS? And is Zitron critical of the GS article (no, he’s not)?

        Now, if it was your job to actually absorb the information in this blog post, there’s really no way around actually reading the thing - at least if you wanna do a good job. Any “productivity boost” would sacrifice quality of output.

      This IS the tl;dr of the article first off, and second, just read the top “paragraph” (in quotes because it’s only like 2 sentences). It’s basically the tldr of the tldr
