I’ve literally never heard of those horrible companies mentioned in the post. I have no idea what they do. In that sense, maybe Ed’s bad at PR? Honestly I’ve been following Ed’s work for a long time now and I’m also a frequent critic online of genAI, so I don’t really understand this swinging at him with a bat. He’s been a net positive for the movement, no question. Also the line about how he’s an ass on social media…that’s his brand. He’s always roasting everyone. He also roasts himself, when he’s not ironically making himself out to be a genius (in that winking British way). If you don’t like that sort of humor, fine, but I think it’s pretty weird to take it too seriously. 🤷🏻♂️

If Ed wasn’t working for them, maybe you would have.
