Please don't make posts to TechTakes that are just bare images without a description. The description can be simple, like "Screenshot from YouTube saying 'Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service'". Some of our participants rely upon screenreaders. Or are crotchety old people who remember an Internet that wasn't all three websites sharing snapshots of the other two websites.
"Drinking alone tonight?" the bartender asks.
I don't see what useful information the motte and bailey lingo actually conveys that equivocation and deception and bait-and-switch didn't. And I distrust any turn of phrase popularized in the LessWrong-o-sphere. If they like it, what bad mental habits does it appeal to?
The original coiner appears to be in with the brain-freezing crowd. He's written about the game theory of "braving the woke mob" for a Tory rag.

Please, go ahead, use AI lawyers. It's better for my clients.
Adam Christopher comments on a story in Publishers Weekly.
Says the CEO of HarperCollins on AI:
"One idea is a “talking book,” where a book sits atop a large language model, allowing readers to converse with an AI facsimile of its author."
Please, just make it stop, somebody.
Robert Evans adds,
there's a pretty good short story idea in some publisher offering an AI facsimile of Harlan Ellison that then tortures its readers to death
Kevin Kruse observes,
I guess this means that HarperCollins is getting out of the business of publishing actual books by actual people, because no one worth a damn is ever going to sign a contract to publish with an outfit with this much fucking contempt for its authors.
Not A Sneer But: "Princ-wiki-a Mathematica: Wikipedia Editing and Mathematics" and a related blog post. Maybe of interest to those amongst us whomst like to complain.
