New term: analyslop, when somebody writes a long, specious piece of writing with few facts or actual statements with the intention of it being read as thorough analysis.
This week, alleged financial analyst Citrini Research (not to be confused with Andrew Left’s Citron Research) put out a truly awful piece called the “2028 Global Intelligence Crisis,” slop-filled scare-fiction written and framed with the authority of deeply-founded analysis, so much so that it caused a global selloff in stocks.
This piece — if you haven’t read it, please do so using my annotated version — spends 7000 or more words telling the dire tale of what would happen if AI made an indeterminately-large amount of white collar workers redundant.
