Perry E. Metzger(@perrymetzger):So it turns out that part of the hundreds of millions of dollars the EA cult spends every year on AI propaganda goes towards not merely doing PR but pretty much buying the entire reporting stack on AI. They supply the pay for "reporters", they supply the pay for "experts" at "AI research organizations", they even give money to press organizations. The entire news production system has been corrupted in some cases.
