I've been pondering -- at the same relative point, what are/were people more bearish on, the 2008 housing bubble or the 2025 AI bubble? This doesn't mean that AGI isn't real, but there are plenty of examples in history where everyone sort of believed the same lie. I wonder -- what are the true "original" sources of opinions, and how many of the opinions you hear repeated in the news are incestuous? Like most journalists are certainly not opinions of people with on the ground knowledge, I'm thinking the recent NY Times opinion column by Kevin Roose. And so like everyone says "I talked to a bunch of people, and they all said." And then it's "You haven't seen what's in the OpenAI labs"
And what we have now is amazing, but like, what is the tipping point?
