alt Hacker NewsAI is dramatically accelerating AI research

Similar from the same site was shared on HN on April 8, 2023 :) BS like this is shared like clockwork on valuation cycles, didn't have time to read this year's article.
Super intelligence has been a year away for three years according to these people. They all have bags they're protecting.
I dont think super intelligence will be here in a year, I think within a year AI/llms will have a similar sentiment surrounding them that NFTs do know (it already does for most normies). And most people will be recovering from a hype induced mania they lived in for two years straight.
Of course its more useful than NFTs, but when there's no giant bag to farm these hype monsters will inevitably disappear.
The bags are drying up fortunately and tokens/inference seems to be experiencing deflation, and hardware prices will eventually pop and contribute to further deflation, Then all the bag chasers will move back to crypto or whatever gets hot next.
"The industry is not prepared to handle this safely"
After the election, titles like this just irritate me. Every piece written about AI progress is:
"The machines taking jobs, flooding the internet with sludge and poisoning our online experiences, are getting better even faster! Isn't this incredible? Yeah but sorry we also think it's only riskier than ever to deploy these systems at scale. That being said, we're still going to do it, go public and take institutional money from people's retirement funds, destroy the job market, and make 3000 Anthropic employees and 500 investors really rich. There wasn't anything we could do besides write a lot of ink on it and be shocked we lost every local data center referendum."
The slopaganda news cycle right on schedule I see.
