Didn't random companies add block chain to their names only just a few years ago and get 30+% jumps in stock price immediately?

- bee_rider 7mo agoThat’s quite different, BlockChain was a buzzword label for existing tech. AGI is a label for something we famously haven’t achieved, and which would be revolutionary if we had. This seems more like calling your spaceship company, I dunno, “Interplanetary Passengers” or something.
- serf 7mo agoAGI is a buzzword too, it's just differently applied. In this case it's a word that means the thing we're all developing towards apparently, but that no one actually knows how to get or even how to measure whether or not we've already gotten it , and no one really knows what will happen when it's achieeved, if it hasn't already been. It's a bit like an even wackier more-corporate version of The Quest for the Holy Grail. And the honest one true test for "is it a buzzword?" : Did a corporate group brand a flagship with it? "RISC architecture is going to change everything!"
