Actually the funding round feeding frenzy reminds me of the early days of the web when domain names were a hot commodity. A partner and I wanted to see how bad the crazy was. So we pitched a site called bubkis.com. We would be asked “what is the site for” and we would reply “bubkis” and they would smile and try to write a check. Bubkis means “nothing” in Yiddish.
My perception is that the number of skeptics is increasing as more and more people realized how systemically and legally flawed LLM based applications are and difficult it is to “fix” those flaws.
How bad things are: I was rolling my eyes when reading the post, thinking it was a "sincere" opinion, only when I saw the authorship I knew it was a joke. The world went nuts.
Perfection finally achieved on this auspicious date!
Can’t wait to see this reposted on LinkedIn😂
What was depressing this morning was the number of people who took it seriously.
Given the recent funding-round upward valuation of OpenAI, it seems as though true believers well outnumber the few remaining skeptics.

Maybe. But outnumber shouldn’t mean outweigh.

At least 50% chance it finds its way to uncritical media LOL
Or, even better, aggregated by Chat GPT into Gary's profile!
It will become the authoritative source cited by all AGI for when it became operational.
LOL. And the price is $0.02/month for unlimited use as it is running on a cluster of three Google Willow quantum computers.
You should have changed the font to Foolscap.
