Smith remains optimistic about other technologies, including artificial intelligence.
@Noahpinion I am like you, except maybe not as virulent.
I'm very unusual in being pro-AI, pro-internet, pro-computer, pro-TV, pro-video-game, pro-industrial revolution, and virulently anti-smartphone
Many users endorsed Noah Smith's view opposing smartphones for collapsing attention and enabling easy addiction while supporting other tech, but negative users called the stance retarded or inconsistent and insulted Smith or Steve Jobs.

@tunguz You go viral, I go virulent
@Noahpinion
@tunguz Also taller and handsomer and smarter, but with fewer pet rabbits
@Noahpinion I am just a kinder and fluffier version of you.
@Noahpinion i really miss the sent from Iphone monikers on Twitter
@Noahpinion Smartphones are the cigarettes of the 21st century
@Noahpinion The phones are very bad 🤝
@Noahpinion Internet was awesome before everyone got on it.
@Noahpinion Wash your mouth out with soap!
@Noahpinion I've never really understood the fixation on smartphones. There's not much that I can do on smartphone that I can't also do on my laptop, and although I prefer my laptop, at least with my smartphone I'm more liable to get out of the house/office.
@Noahpinion Well sure, the Internet was great until we gave the normies smartphones and social media.
@Noahpinion And that is where I stood over ten years ago when I was one of the first people to invest in @thelightphone.
You should get one.
@Noahpinion i don't think you are, i think you just rarely use it.
@Noahpinion Pro-rabbit too
@Noahpinion Respectfully disagree. Access to all the world information through ai apps and wikis, phone audio player encyclopedia map thermostat camera notepad recorder taxi hailer payment system stock trader in one device saves environment too
@Noahpinion I endorse this actually. The smartphone is too convenient and make gambling highs/stimulus dopamine too easy to administer. I would also be against AI optimized for these functions, but AI broadly is objectively amazing
@Noahpinion Indeed. I’ve worked with people that worked with him. He was a completely fucking asshole and could ruin your life. Not that he tried to hide how much of an asshole he was. Everyone knows this.
@Noahpinion How about porn?
@Noahpinion Is that so unusual
@Noahpinion Wow. That is unusual!
