Over my dead body.

Also, this is laughable:

We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.

These guys don't even have true AI yet, just a text predictor on steroids that frequently hallucinates and gets things wrong.

    The cope is really deep in the tech sector. Way too many imbeciles who think they're geniuses and too much VC to throw around.

    Always been this way, no? Sometimes, though, the imbeciles hire very competent people

    It's much worse now. Some of these people actually did impressive things earlier in the 21st century. Now they're 90% grifters

    AI is incredible if you ask it about stuff you're not an expert on. Once you ask it those things you already have expert level knowledge on, especially nuanced questions, you'll start to see the issues. It won't be every question it gets wrong, but it's often enough to be an issue.

    In other words, it’s all an illusion. It’s a ruse to get us to feed it our thoughts, so it can summarize our files and our queries, and it can feed us the responses it is told to feed us.

    We already know it can do that since they’re placing fucking ads in it.
