I worry about the emphasis on independent journalism we have right now because:
1) it’s not a sustainable business model to hold up an entire industry
2) they don’t have editors or fact checkers to provide checks and balances on their reporting
3) institutional journalism is still important

So people who want to change the trajectory of where AI is in society today should start by noting that *current approaches to stopping adoption have failed*. That is a factual, measurable statement. I don’t believe repeating them will suddenly start working, maybe some people think so, but I don’t.
