so i'm confident Pivot to AI is on the right track in terms of content and presentation. trouble is *promotion*.

can't get media mentions or interest. i give *great* quote and soundbite, i'm an interesting tidbit factory

ideas welcome

(also if you know media people please suggest me to them)

@davidgerard Judging by the BBC, you need to offer a more fascist alternative to the dominant narrative.

You do good work, but the sad truth is: readers are carved one at a time out of an indifferent public.

It took me decades to build a big enough following to make a marginal living.

@davidgerard
Agree with your content, but the media overlords have decreed that AI = good, so unfortunately you're on the 'wrong' side of their narrative.

@Cameopilot @davidgerard He's on the wrong side of rich people.

@davidgerard shot in the dark but given the recent massive backlash surrounding arstechnica's recent debacle[1] maybe they'd be interested in doing an interview?

@dngrs can't see Benj Edwards calling me ever while he's there ;-)

[bobschi@mastodon.social]

@davidgerard @404mediaco not interested?

@davidgerard

I liked your interview with Ed Zitron. maybe more podcasts? tech won't save us, this machine kills, trashfuture? news outlets that haven't bent the knee to the current regime - Texas observer, the new Republic?

[mrs_malice@mastodon.world]

@davidgerard have you had media training? if not, could be worth a checkin with the experts. also agree with the other commenter here who mentioned podcasts! i know ed zitron’s done quite a few, including smaller pods on youtube. do you have a podcast one-sheet you can send around?

those are my top-of-head tips. thanks for all you do, love your work!
