>The Economist, Silicon Valley's primary submarine, dispels the notion that AI causes unemployment because SV has realized that the peasants get unruly.

I suspect "submarine" was meant in this sense: https://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html

Note well: This does not mean that I agree with any part of what he said. Just explaining the term.

Every single aspect of that cover is manipulative marketing.

Right, but OP's implication is that they're trying to placate the masses (that somehow read the economist?), even though a few months before they were putting out alarmist covers. You can't have it both ways. If you're arguing that economist being pro-job loss is part of a globalist conspiracy and so is the economist being anti-job loss, then you just created an unfalsifiable statement, a "heads I win, tails you lose" argument.

That was when Silicon Valley still favored the job loss narrative to drive up CEO interest for AI.

Now protests are getting louder and the midterms are close.
