Futurology

Same here, been watching and testing closely from day one, and the AI hate is certainly understandable, but it is a new tool in the toolbox, and once you learn how to use it correctly and understand it’s limitations (e.g. you wouldn’t use a hammer to build a 50 meter bridge span) it can provide quite a bit of leverage, which saves you time and let’s you spend more time scrolling on Lemmy and writing comments like these.

The AI hype, particularly in the financial markets is really overbought IMO, and that’s the bubble that is bursting, egged on by the tariffs and general geopolitical uncertainty. (I’ve only yesterday realised that the Climate Emergency will never be properly priced into the markets)

Anyway, just 100% agreeing: AGI let alone ASI is not happening, and most likely the destruction of our civilisation (first by war, then by natural disaster) will likely preceed it, especially if we were hoping to roll it out in a responsible and regulated manner.
