New on the Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 newsletter:

Labeling resistance to "AI" as "denialism" is an attempt to dismiss it out of hand.
The narrative of the denialism frame is that those opposing "AI" are afraid, under-informed and/or engaging in wishful thinking. None of that is true: The people who oppose the "AI" project are actively fighting and refusing to accept the premise of tech bros and AI boosters.

@emilymbender you might appreciate this article that unpacks this very subject. https://www.inthelibrarywiththeleadpipe.org/2025/ai-feeling-rules/

@emilymbender It's my impression from my theological side that "denialism " is the same in thier eyes as "Heresy". The problem, as you point out, is the heretics are people who know what they are looking at. It's like calling prophets like Elijiah, Ezekiel and Isaiah a heretic. Or maybe more to the point Martin Luther.

We should rather be labelling the ACCEPTANCE of their bogus AI [sic] as DELUSIONISM

I like this:

Mollick:
>> [...] science [...]

Bender:
> It is not my job set up test cases that tech
> companies can use to "prove" how useful
> their systems are

So while looking for help, why don't those companies supply the world with something falsifiable? Maybe there are some who'd like to help then ... :)
