      And yours is the “my asshole neighbor is black, so I hate all black people” defense.

      You have bought into the sensationalist outrage press about the worst offenders. Yes, they are bad. But as we don’t pass judgement based on news of a sensational crime in a quiet neighborhood, we need to rise above the media noise to see the entire picture.

          The bulk of the industry agrees that Musk is doing all the wrongest possible things.

          He is not the industry. He just gets the press attention.

          Are all electric cars bad? No, just his.

          My industry is ruled by trade secrets during this phase. That’s part of the explanation for the complete lack of pushback on the “bad press” we get. Thanks for understanding.

            Well, for what it’s worth, I hope your company actually does use AI sustainably. I’m reminded of some of the blockchain startups that were attempting to make genuine use of the technology outside of cryptocurrency. There are legitimate use cases for AI just like there are for blockchain tech.
