Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

    the thing is, we used to know this. 15 years ago, the prevailing belief was that AI would be built by combining multiple subsystems together - an LLM, visual processing, a planning and decision making hub, etc… we know the brain works like this - idk where it all got lost. profit, probably.

      It got lost because the difficulty of actually doing that is overwhelming, probably not even accomplishable in our lifetimes, and it is easier to grift and get lost in a fantasy.

        The jobs with the most people working them are all in the process of automation.

        Pretending it’s not happening is going to make it even easier for capital to automate most jobs, because no one tries to stop things they don’t believe in to begin with.

      With credulous rubes like @[email protected] around, the marketers have triumphed; they don’t have to do such things because bazinga brains (some quite rich, like manchild billionaires) will pay for the hype and the empty promises because they have a common bond of misanthropy and crude readings of their science fiction treats as prophecy instead of speculation.
