    I think there must be competing with each other to see how stupid they can go and still get the media to publish it.

    But what if it it was real, it finally bursts and they lost large portions of their market capitalization or stock value.

    Masayoshi Son, the most gullible idiot billionaire in the world is a fucking idiot. He got conned hard by the WeWork grifter and he still hasn’t found out. What a fucking idiot.

      WeWork was such a fun ride to watch, such a transparently silly company that made stupid money, it never made sense.

    “I think it’s blasphemy against AI if ‌you say it’s a bubble,” Son said at the Japanese conglomerate’s annual general meeting. “It’s just the beginning. AI’s potential will be unlocked.”

    Another stupid rich Boomer who’s bought into the science fiction, but who is too rich to have anyone who can tell him he’s an idiot.

    The entrepreneur, 68, said he will lead the company into his 70s ​to bring ⁠about “artificial superintelligence,” which he defines as being 10,000 times smarter than a human.

    “I have become greedier,” Son said. “I would like to do more over the next 10 to 15 years. I will stay healthy as long ⁠as I ​can.”

    At least he’s honest, unlike the American ultrawealthy who have been trying really hard to convince people they’re regular humans and not skinwalkers.

      It’s not only boomers here who are into this. I know many in IT here in Japan, from normal workers up through C-suite folks, who fully believe in AI like this and act accordingly.

    AI will come, but right now we’re in the Aeolipile era of AI systems (maybe, if I’m being pedantic, the early engines of the 17th century). The LLM systems we got take way to many resources and mostly yield sub-par problematic results.

    We’re going to need some advancements in power and hardware before the LLM model is generally useful, and we’re still a long, long ways from practical AGI.
