Key Notes
Jiang says Jordan Peterson could have remained a positive force if he had focused on teaching, but monetization seduced him and made him controllable.
Jiang says artificial intelligence is fundamentally a scam because what looks like intelligence is really mass computing built on enormous data-center costs and no proven monetization model.
He argues that AI firms still do not know how to monetize the technology and are therefore pushing gimmicky or mass-market uses while trying to justify enormous valuations and an eventual IPO.
Jiang argues that AI firms still have not figured out how to make money from the technology and cites OpenAI's behavior and subscriber economics as signs of desperation.
Jiang says he deliberately refuses to monetize YouTube because easy money would threaten his intellectual freedom and invite corrupting external claims on his work.
