I just hope when (if) the hype is over, we can repurpose the capacities for something useful (e.g. drug discovery etc.)

Re hype: Why is it that so many people are completely obsessed with replacing all developers and any other white-collar job? They seem to be totally convinced that this will happen. 100%

To me, this all sounds like an “end-of-the-world” nihilistic wet dream, and I don’t buy the hype.

Is it’s just me?

The dream of many business owners is running their business with no products, no employees, and no customers, where they can just collect money. AI promises to fulfil this dream. AIs selling NFTs to other AIs paying in crypto is the final boss of capitalism.
