when some people on the left are like “ya know, i’ve come to really respect tucker carlson, steve bannon, and marjorie taylor greene because they sorta share one of my anxieties or grievances, and i’m kinda surprised” i just think: i am. not!

My long-standing* prediction has been that as AI becomes a serious political issue, the “doomerist” strand will find itself allying with the cranks on both ends of the horseshoe. Which is a shame, because while I disagree with these types, I don’t think they’re actually cranks.
