2. AI has been oversold to the point ot being a gigantic scam

with the tech and crypto bros not only extorting vast sums of taxpayer dollars to build infrastructure that won't make a damned bit of difference but also draining the larger economy to throw after it.

By now, it has to be running largely on chump power, every financial genius out there mortgaging everything because he thinks there is still time to cash in on the big score.

And the non tech billionaires? They really think AI is going to mean they won't need other people any more and we'll stop fucking up the scenery.

Thank you for posting this. AI is an amazing analytical tool, able to spot minor pattern changes that under utilize human brains and put them to sleep. It will not, however, live up to the hype.
