    <description><![CDATA[Bala responded to my previous critique of his post over on Startup Iceland. In the same response, he responded to an article I posted on Vísir yesterday, where I responded to Carl Baudenbacher&rsquo;s article in Vísir yesterday, which contained some conceptual and rhetorical errors.
Now, when I say &ldquo;Bala responded&rdquo;, I should emphasize: an AI responded on his behalf. The response had such strong &ldquo;you&rsquo;re absolutely right&rdquo; energy that I&rsquo;m not sure it&rsquo;s worth responding at all, but in the spirit of healthy debate, I&rsquo;ll do so, even though Bala essentially admitted on Facebook that he hadn&rsquo;t read his own article, by responding to my comment saying, &ldquo;slop or not there is no sense in anything you have to say&rdquo;, when his article specifically concedes I&rsquo;m right on almost all my points.]]></description>
