The only honest benchmark is "has it cured cancer yet?". It has not, nor moved close to doing so.
People are doing great at marketing the diminishing returns as breakthroughs though.
- gizmodo59 3mo agoThat’s a very narrow view. So non of the fields of science and engineering matter but just cancer?
- gaigalas 3mo agoI would accept something on the same magnitude in other areas. AI companies promised a lot of things in the beginning. "Cure cancer", "no one works anymore", "intelligence as cheap as electricity". Any of those would do. If the investment is sized on that, but the result is not there yet, you're being scammed.

- gaigalas 3mo agoAI companies themselves pitched this. It's their word. Now no one talks about it (obviously), but I remember.
