All tech news and especially social media posts are about hyperbole. Everything has to be the fastest, biggest, most growing and most disruptive. And when you don’t know about it or are not part of it, you are falling behind. And if that happens you will be irrelevant as a voice or outdated for the market. I’m sick of it and I am done with it.

Size isn’t everything. In fact, fast growth and inflated salaries are both red flags.

As Bender says, we've made "machines that can mindlessly generate text, but we haven’t learned how to stop imagining the mind behind it." One potential tonic against this fallacy is to follow an Italian MP's suggestion and replace "AI" with "SALAMI" ("Systematic Approaches to Learning Algorithms and Machine Inferences"). It's a lot easier to keep a clear head when someone asks you, "Is this SALAMI intelligent? Can this SALAMI write a novel? Does this SALAMI deserve human rights?"
