Your argument rests on the fallacious implication that Corporations behave as people do and therefore should be held to the same standards. In reality, corporate behavior is driven the aggregate of the greed of the individuals who comprise its executive suite, not their rationality or morality. It makes sense to critique corporations, BECAUSE they tend toward the self-serving even if it is destructive to the world. Whereas an individual is inherently less destructive, by virtue of not being a) VC backed b) legally obligated to create profit and growth for shareholders c) they have a conscience
Your reply really indicates that you are either completely unaware of all of these incredibly obvious facts, or you are trolling.
I don't know how people can even manage to read through this stuff, much less upvote it. It's even more depressing to me that a comment her got flagged for pointing out this was slop.
Is Gareth the cat in the picture at the top? Is the cat writing the blog post? I agree with the sentiment of the article but it doesn't have a solution. Everyone has to hustle to make it work.

So.. AI generated cat? Blodwyn also, or is (s)he a real sheep? But then I stumbled onto this page:
Compare the pics. Same-looking window, same view, different table/kitchen.
So I'd guess the 'sheep' is just a small element of AI-generated pic. With that element looking like a sheep. But why would it be called Blodwyn then? Did it ever exist as a real sheep? Did author know a sheep called Blodwyn @ some point? Was there a real sheep named Blodwyn whose photo wound up in AI model's training data?
Machines and processes like the internet barely want things. People and companies who abuse it want things, which has eventually the same effect on other people and companies.

Do you even PROOFREAD TFA before posting it? Useless AI slop blogspam
- you are writing a post on your blog and sharing it on HN?
- what is your objective? traffic? email? newsletter signups? eventually sell some course to them?
- it is always easy to point fingers at someone with a bigger budget
Did you literally never stop to think about that, or are you deliberately shaming individual thought in a bad faith manner?
- people cry corporations bad all day but what is a corporation?
- it is made up of individuals
- funny nobody ever takes individual responsibility for anything but wants corporate responsibility
