"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."

""AGI is coming out next year" - this sub for the last 4 years"

    As someone who once was a transhumanist (back when there were still Socialists in the community)

    I used to actually go to those so-called futurology conferences back on the west coast. I stopped going when the military started setting up shop there and the spectacles got too creepy to bear. It went from "a future where everyone is better off is in measurable distance" to "imagine immortality and superpowers for the worst people in the world, also buy some internet funny money!"
