"This whole saga makes me genuinely embarrassed to follow this stuff. I just want a sub that has an informed opinion on AI, this is worse than crypto bro bullshit."

"Every hype-man who posts vague tweets and hype posts should be ridiculed. Every clown who posts screenshots of said tweets on this sub should be ridiculed."

    I hadn’t put it together before but it completely makes sense that singularity believers would easily fall for AI hype.

      yeah, iirc the first step to singularity or at least what causes it is an ASI so we have this community of dweebs thinking that that'll solve everything and not, like, communism, which probably won't solve everything but certainly more than whatever the fuck llms are doing.

            Wow that is a tier of “missing the point the movie was making” previously thought only theoretically possible.

        Gonna have to wait a long time now that every startup grift and zombie legacy company has redefined AI to mean “computer does stuff” and declared victory. At least, if the billboards on the 101 I see on the way to SFO are any indication - Salesforce will use “AI” to increase your “productivity”. What does that mean? It means give us your money, chumps.

        Not that AI robot slave girlfriends were ever happening in any case; obviously everyone in /r/singularity is competing for the title of most scientifically illiterate person alive and has no clue how the brain - or anything, really - works.
