This is the sort of grifter/influencer style comment that we saw in crypto and now pervasive in AI.

Not just that AI is a great tool that will over time have a significant impact on society. It’s the breathless hype e.g. we have AGI today, society will be instantly smarter because of it and every tool and employee will be impacted. The FOMO i.e. you must jump on board now or be left behind. And the complete lack of any data or evidence.



Except I see no grift or FOMO. You don’t need to put your money into it. All you need now is instinct and creativity. The FOMO to raise money or be nobody goes away instead. The FOMO in giants to appear like they are riding the AI horse is real. Evidence is in the productivity of each individual and how many would consult with experts or expert friends vs just using AI.


Looked at their profile, total grifter vibe.
