So glad we're pinning the success and learning of new technology on random anecdotes. Do pro AI people not see how untenable it is where everything is a rumor?

It is only a rumor to people who refuse to put in effort.
I'd rather put my effort into developing my own skills, not hand-holding a hallucinating robot.
I enjoyed the clarity of that sentence. It's wild to read. Some people are choosing the hand-holding of the hallucinating robot instead of developing their skills, and simultaneously training their replacement (or so the bosses hope, anyway).

I wonder if "robot" was being used here in its original sense too of a "forced worker" rather than the more modern sense of "mechanical person". If not, I propose it.

What does this even mean? Lol.
