Exactly, he is monetizing the dramaslop. A sack of rice falls over and suddenly the world is on the brink of collapse. A fun exercise to see how lunatic this pattern of fear is, you can look for an echo chamber you know nothing about, maybe games or music or DIY or kitchens or whatever on youtube and suddenly you will see the same patterns play out. It is quite sad to see people do this for a living, but it is what it is. The kitchens are funny to me, because apparently there is a grand conspiracy of kitchen companies forming a monopoly funded by whoever and basically thats why you will never be able to cook like you used to be able to back in the day and basically its over. Just typing this out made me smile.

IMO Ed is entertaining and I don't believe much in LLMs, but I personally don't really care what happens next with it or what happens at all, the world will continue to spin.
