It’s not random guesses, it’s intentional fictions to make investing in ‘AI’ companies sound like a good idea.

They think they can lie their way to real AI by convincing investors to pour enough money into them that poof real AI emerges.

They’re not going to get the poof they’re hoping for.

If that happened, you could not convince me that we aren’t all extras in Idiocracy 2.

Take it back to what, though? The 1990s? I guess that’d be an improvement. What they really need is progress. Is there any kind of progressive movement in Russia?

Sure but they’re not going to fire all of them. They’re going to fire 90% then make 10% put out the fires and patch the leaks while working twice as many hours for less pay.

The company will gradually get worse and worse until bankrupt or sold and the c-suite bails with their golden parachutes.
