"Any sufficiently advanced AI technology is indistinguishable from bullshit."

- me, a few years ago.

I find the whole situation with regard to AI utterly ridiculous and boring. While those algos might have some interesting applications, they're not as earth-shattering as we are made to believe, and their utility is, to me at least, questionable.

love this quote !

The whole sales-pitch for AI is predicated on FOMO - from developers being replaced by AI-enabled engineers to countries being left-behind by AI-slop. Like crypto, the idea is to get-big-fast, and become too big to fail. This worked for social-media but I find it hard to believe it can work for AI.

My hope is that: while some of the people can be fooled all the time, all the people cannot be fooled all the time.
