For reasons, I'm reminded of this thread from a couple of weeks ago that I wrote in an attempt to remind people to be extra-sceptical of bubble-inflating news coming from those who benefit from a financial bubble, even if it looks plausible

Anybody who, during a trillion dollar financial bubble coupled with an equally seismic political movement, routinely picks up the plausible-sounding positive "AI facts" published by people who stand to gain from either bubble or movement is doing both us and themselves a disservice

Even if you truly believe your positive opinion on "AI" is warranted, giving these ideas a platform is equivalent to hyping up sub-prime mortgages in late 2007. It's fundamentally irresponsible even if you were right

@baldur Yeah, and we've started referring to LLMs as "Subprime Computing" in some circles.
