If you are shocked by this, I suggest not reading his other recent topics.
Spent an hour going through his blog. Wild and unpleasant ride.
It's interesting to see someone who seems to describe themself as anti-woke try desperately to convince the generally anti-academic movement to fund academics. Sadly I don't think he'll succeed in this.
I don't agree with many of his posts but I think the blog is interesting in how personal it feels. Often I feel like all media is very cultivated but he seems very willing to put his own anxieties and foibles on the web.

The comments section of that blog is truly a wild ride.

AI takeover is what he's referencing.
