"This whole saga makes me genuinely embarrassed to follow this stuff. I just want a sub that has an informed opinion on AI, this is worse than crypto bro bullshit."

"Every hype-man who posts vague tweets and hype posts should be ridiculed. Every clown who posts screenshots of said tweets on this sub should be ridiculed."

""AGI is coming out next year" - this sub for the last 4 years"

One of the weirdest struggle sessions I had before I was away for almost a year was some smug computer toucher that directly invoked that movie for their argument for why LLMs were at least as sentient/sapient as us mere meat computers.

Yes, others also brought up that it was fiction and fiction doesn't have to adhere to scientific or philosophical rigor, but that treat hog didn't care. We're all meat puppets and our consciousness is an illusion to them and the treat printer said "I love you" so it's just like it was for John Blade Runner, who would totally drive a Cybertruck morshupls

They saw awooga hologram, and because death of the author and all that, they decided the movie was about how awooga hologram was just around the corner, just for them.
