Feels like something created to anger me specifically. This is not real. This is not how physics works, this is not how LLMs work, this is not how anything works. This is just tech billionaires deluding themselves.

Deluding themselves or selling what they know to be a lie? That is, are they really that dumb (in the case of Elmo, the answer is obviously yes), or are they just being used car salesmen? But I feel your pain for what it's worth.

Just finished your book today (loved it) and was stunned at how your description of tech bros’ philosophy as “vibes all the way down” converged with this being in the news this week

With much evidence of tech billionaires deluding themselves, one must wonder if all the other billionaires are delusional as well.

Holy fuck that is the mother of all pseudoscience quotes. It's like he managed to do both AI hype and the new age quantumbabble at the same time
