First there were the journalists, who fully researched their material from first-hand sources. Then there were the bloggers who, without leaving their armchair, wrote opinion pieces based on whatever the journalists had written. Now there is AI, which apes the non-experience of the bloggers. Truly we are now living in a simulation of a simulation.

online media were always hyperreal. baudrillard saw this like 30+ years ago.

Over the years I have worked in many universities. Many of the so-called critical thinkers I meet are anything but. Their writings echo pre-approved wisdoms and take a generally template-driven approach to all matters. I only need to read one of their papers to know with fair certainty what opinion they will hold on any given subject.

Thinking about it, this makes them sound very similar to AIs [wry smile emoji].

You gotta be more careful around these parts with simulation jokes. There's people who'll take it as gospel.
