  That's funny. I see half of everyone on HN being critical of AI, often unfairly so, but we only ever notice the people we disagree with. I'm guilty of this as well, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this.

      It isn’t a dichotomy. It is possible for AI to be useful, not a scam, yet also overhyped by people who do not understand it.

  "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." It's reliably a marker of bad comments and worse threads. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html p.s. HN is pretty evenly divided on AI, and if one side has the advantage, it's probably the anti.

Stuart Russell said AGI is coming and that we will get 45 trillion dollars from them. That's what I'm waiting for. (He didn't specify when or how the money will get here, but I'm betting that I'll get my fair share.)

  I (and I’m being serious) assumed AGI would break into the world’s financial institutions and steal the 45 trillion.
