The comment history [0] suggests that it isn't trolling, but fanaticism - with the telltale hope of demise for everyone that can't see the light. If I digress a bit, I wonder what it is with some hypes - tech or just broader in society - where something reaches a critical mass of publicity where suddenly a surprisingly large portion of people becomes just convinced, regardless of if they have some actual knowledge of the subject or not. Like, anecdotally, watching completely unrelated sports streams and there's a really sincere off-topic comment that AI will change everything now and "society isn't ready" or similar. But I guess it shouldn't be surprising when supposedly intelligent tech gurus and media folks are just eating everything up and starts peddling the narrative to the general public, why shouldn't one believe it? It's like a confluence of incentives that becomes a positive feedback loop until it all blows up. | ||
