I note that this interview is from Oct, so maybe @pluralistic has modified his view on this since then but ...

One of the few things I really dislike among Cory's regular talking points is the misrepresentation of Shoshana Zuboff and the makers of The Social Dilemma, as if they ascribe to DataFarmers the invention of a "mind control ray";

Some credulous, Kara Swisher style faux-critics may have made this claim, Zuboff and TSD didn't.

Which would be very unusual for Cory, so I'm puzzled as to why he keeps pushing this talking point.

Maybe it's his case for why people need to read Chokepoint Capitalism or Enshittification if they've already read Zuboff's book? They do, but there are better ways to make that argument.
