  • Wow, a CEO who doesn’t buy into the hype? That’s astonishing.

    I, for one, cannot wait for the bubble to burst so we can get back to some sense of sanity.

    Edit>> Though if Baidu is investing in AI like all the rest, then maybe they just think they’ll be immune — in which case I’m sad again that I haven’t yet come across a CEO who calls bullshit on this nonsense.

    AI will have its uses, and it has practical use cases such as helping people to walk or to speak or to translate in real time, etc. But we’re decades away from what all these CEOs seem to think they’re going to cash in on now. And it’ll be fun on some level watching them all be wrong.


  • Odd, I seem to remember reading the exact same headline in 2020. Perhaps Americans just hate life in America because of 60 years of nonstop existential bullshit.

    The downward spiral of education, the constant fight or flight news cycle, and the rise of the unfettered oligarchy have vastly contributed to the current state of America.

    I’m reminded nearly every day of Carl Sagan’s “foreboding” quote from “The Demon-Haunted World”.
