It's "personal bet-ium" against LLM-AI as business [0] (NOT LLM-AI as technology).

Personally, still haven't found cause to alter my opinions, stated here:

- After "AI": Anticipating a post-LLM science & technology revolution

- Riff: LLMs are Software Diamonds

- Halting AI (as in, the Halting Problem, not stopping it dead in its tracks --- a foolish idea).

- Riff: Classifying Tools for Thought (what, relatively speaking, is the intelligence level of LLM tech, in my book... It is intelligence. But what kind?)

Cf: https://www.evalapply.org/tags/ai/

[0] Kind of stupid to bet oneself against ten trillion dollars backed by absolutely massive corporations as well as world superpowers, but it takes all kinds to make the world :shrug:

Sorry, did you have a real rebuttal here to OP or did you just want to say the tired phrase "copium" and drive off?

Massive burn: the people I disagree with have motivated reasoning.[1] Would it be cope to deny that there is a bubble because one might have invested a lot in AI?

> The hackernews crowd just can't emotionally handle the coming economic disruption.

The “hackernews crowd” has a lot of highly-paid SC wage workers, even venture capitalists (whatever that is about).[2] Personally though I just have a normal job and don’t want to be disrupted out of how I earn my living. Now you can go on and gloat. Gloat about how you think that I will become economically destitute. This is an open invitation.

[2] But I don’t even buy that the hackernews crowd is coping about the success of AI. Most seem to be euphoric about outsourcing their coding. Any and all LLM-technical posts get hundreds of replies by eager agent managers. While the LLM-political posts get a mix of enthusiasts and haters. It’s like the LLM-technical submissions live in an alternate dimension.
