Pendulum is probably way sharper this time around because we're dealing with the aftermath of the crypto fallout. Sure in practice this time there are actual applications and lots of people paying actual money for real products, but tech has lost a lot of it's sheen and there's going to be a lot more very understandable dismissal of the next shiny. Even though for this one we should probably actually take it seriously since the societal disruption potential is very high and humans dealt poorly with the previous few transitions when tons of people lost jobs. The AI doesn't even have to be that good. Tons of jobs involve trying to turn humans into robots, like call centers and offshore software consultancies, and I think llms passed the "good enough" point a long time ago
