Cal Newport (a “reliable narrator” to use your term) just had an excellent podcast explaining the origins of this nonsense. It‘s quite sincere and far more pervasive than we realize unfortunately. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

I think AI has already exceeded the intelligence of the type of person that believes AGI is imminent, which is why they believe AGI is imminent.

And, no, "We need you to produce a higher volume of lower quality computer code faster so we can (hopefully) one day fire you" isn't an actual problem.

To me, the biggest “AI safety” measure we can take is to help other people understand that it sucks and isn't very good for 99% of the stuff we’ve been told it can do.

AI doom or not, something has shifted with AI recently. The guardrails that kept AI sitting in a chatbox are gone, the models are better, there's more compute. AI agents are everywhere. They are annoying as hell. IMO the situation is going to get much worse www.404media.co/theres-a-100...

The so-called AI revolution has been going hard since 2022 and what is its crowning achievement? How has it improved the average person's life? It hasn't made anything cheaper or better or more interesting.

My new test for AI is the Stardew Valley test. When AI can create something as impressive as Stardew Valley, a ten-year-old video game that one person made in their spare time, then I will be impressed. As of now, we are four years and trillions of dollars in and it hasn't even come close.

The AI industry’s marketing has infuriated me since day one. “Everyone will have an AI assistant.” “Money won’t exist anymore.” “You’ll all have more free time!” It’s ludicrous and fantastical. They don’t believe it. I don’t believe it. I don’t think most people believe it. What are we doing here?
