This is going to force a resurgence of honour based behaviour. If anything is false(ifiable) then the only way to demonstrate something as true is by personally commiting face to it.

The secret handshake will (finally) come back into fashion.

I'm screwed, then. I was never able to memorize those weird "cool" handshakes as a kid. My chances today are even lower.

Anyone who spent serious time at an event this year noticed it. You sit in the room and thirty minutes in you realize the presenter has not actually field-tested any of what is on the screen. The model made it coherent. Coherence is not the same as true.

I'm stealing/keeping that last bit, slightly rephrased: Coherence is not the same thing as truth.

Wait: they are citing linkedin posts?

LinkedIn: go fuck yourself. If you are stupid enough to willingly participate in the Microsoft data harvestor that pretends its a business site, you are a moron.

Sales pitches?

Conference shills?

All of this was untrustworthy already. AI changed nothing here.

We need to be having conversations in dark parking lots, away from cameras, with people who present AI slop decks at meetings.
