I passionately hate hype, especially the AI hype Published on . Modified on . I truly and passionately hate hype. From the fakeness of it to the sheer stupidity it represents, but perhaps most of all, because of the devastating consequence it often results in. Hype is basically to promote or publicize something extravagantly and the modern hype promoted by "Big Tech" is not much different from medieval charlatans.

Compared to today, the mid-2010s seem like such an innocent and naive time on the internet. People were making Vines and hotly debating the color of a dress, but there was also some mischief on the rise. Somewhere between the peak of 4chan trolling culture and the growing cult of Apple, a bizarre trend emerged: fake iPhone features that convinced people to destroy their own phones. As odd as it sounds, these hoaxes weren’t as obvious scams as they might seem today. They were sleek, well-designe

A decade later, I’m one of those people who swear by it as a sanity-saving tool for juggling work and life. (Still don’t care about my fitness rings, though.)

Given how much we obsess over it, the concept of creativity can feel like something that has always existed, a thing philosophers and artists have pondered and debated throughout the ages. While it’s a reasonable assumption, it’s one that turns out to be very wrong. As Samuel Franklin explains in his recent book, The Cult of Creativity, the first known written use of creativity didn’t actually occur until 1875, “making it an infant as far as words go.” What’s more, he writes, before about 1950,

We're not saying you deserved that gator bite, but... When it comes to gator bites, it turns out we’re the problem (it’s us). Recent research has found that the vast majority of violent alligator incidents in the U.S. are provoked by “risky human behaviors.” Scientists at the University of Florida and Centre College in Kentucky conducted the study, which analyzed recorded human bites from American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) dating back to the 18th century.

Why is an AI company pretending that we’re living in 2022 and working on a new social media platform? OpenAI has money, everyone’s attention, and its iOS app is still the number one download on Apple’s App Store.
