I think the idea of #begging is fine, because unlike other behaviours that trouble readers, it's all about #trust and intent.

I also think #criticism of behaviours is fine. I'm not sure the main reason for the begging matters because if #mastodon ever agree on what we find acceptable, then every begging post will be for that.

I don't think the begging topic is the issue. It's almost entirely about trust I think.

I've mentioned this before but I don't know if we ever crossed threads 🙂

Two excellent pieces of #AI #criticism by - checks notes - a business reporter and a prof. Both highlight the shortcomings of the many AI boosterism pieces by some tech journalists:

1. TL;DR: #Apple is right not to ship crappy AI to customers.

2. TL;DR:AI is mid but mid in the hands of the powerful will screw you.
