Where do you think the "new ones" are coming from?

This is weirdly passive-aggressive. What are you trying to imply, that everyone who knows something you don't like is bad, regardless of why?

Oh wow, comparing a thing to a completely different thing without demonstrating the comparison is valid.

Exactly the non-evidence I expected.

I'm sick and tired of AI fans making statements like

Generative AI is here to stay

without evidence.

Citation needed.

If you read AI critics, you will see people presenting solid financial evidence of the failure of AI companies to do what they promised. Remember Sam Altman promised AGI in 2025? I certainly do, and now so do you.

Do you have any concrete evidence that this financial flop will turn around before it runs out of money?

How did I end up on a timeline where Microsoft is talking about rolling back AI in its OS and practically acknowledging vibe coding caused problems... and Linux developers are talking about ramping up its usage?

Obviously Microsoft is still worse here, but what are these trajectories?

I agree with you, and hopefully my posts don't come across like that's what I believe. If anything, I'd prefer all phrases to be taken back from them.

I'm just trying to describe the other half of where different people see the word, and why they might come to different, incomplete conclusions.

Even if the effect didn't lag, there's almost no added benefit to it. The title is cut off, and the description is even worse.

If the author wanted to, they could have done something like this with no scripts, minimum effort, and probably zero lag.

(If OP's website chugged for you, I'm curious whether this demo is seamlessly smooth. It is for me.)

The language in the linked post is disinformation. AI does not "scheme," but that's the wording the post uses for its duration. "Scheming" implies competence from a person. This post is evidence of a dysfunctional piece of software failing to work properly, made by apparently increasingly incompetent developers.

Upon looking a little closer, this is a fearmonger website devoted to overinflating claims of AI power while ignoring real-life present-day harms. They claim to be inspired by Sam Bankman-Fried's Effective Altruism scam. They show pictures of beautiful beaches but fail to mention AI's environmental harms. Their paranoid demands, if enacted, would calcify Big Tech's monopoly on AI and help nobody affected by its abuses on the planet.

I have no argument there, the phrase was definitely not created by them, it's just been beaten to death by them.

They've also overused a bunch of ancient and unfunny memes well past their expiration dates, and universally adopted a collection of depressingly dull and incorrect slogans. "FUD" is just the one that has interesting meaning outside their sad sphere.

We must consider the possibility it is hacked to spread true information too

I'm studying these comments, now I am a study
