Bracing for Robert Scoble to announce his new AI Whisperer company in his next sexual harassment victim blaming non-apology-apology.

>The Verge‘s Adi Robertson sums it us thus: "But his latest defense puts forward an absurd definition of sexual harassment and effectively accuses women of reporting it to fit in with the cool crowd, while claiming he’s writing in “a spirit of healing.” There’s even a tasteless plug for his latest business venture. It’s one of the most disappointing responses we’ve seen to a sexual harassment complaint, which, after the past few weeks, is a fairly remarkable achievement."

I'm no fan of Scoble, but among AI hypemen on Twitter, he's far from influential.

Excellent description, just another gimmick

Except the fact that a vast number of people actually do this for a living and make good money. A good fraction (no comment on whether that’s larger than 0.5 or less) do something real and tangible and produce value to their clients too.

Importantly, the good ones, what they do, is not necessarily something everyone (especially people with the mind of an engineer) can do well even though in paper it’s a stupid job. I can see prompt engineering be the same.

The vast majority of people I’ve seen, the only original things they can think of asking chatGPT is to come up with workout plans or ask unoriginal questions about common societal issues. There’s nuance and imagination involved in figuring out how to effectively interact with this human like system to get it to do exactly what you want.
