We were promised supersonic jets today or very soon though and our economies have been held hostage waiting for that promise.

The passive voice is doing a lot of work in your sentence.

We are perpetually just months away from software jobs being obsolete.

AGI was achieved internally at OpenAI a year ago.

Multiple companies have already re-hired staff they had fired and replaced with AI.

etc.

Your problem is thinking that hype artists, professionals and skeptics are all the same voice with the same opinion. Because of that, you can't recognize when sentiment is changing among the more skeptical.

[troupo]

You are responding to some voices in your head, not to the context of the conversation.

You're also presuming too much about what I'm thinking and being dead wrong about that.

I am responding to what you wrote:

> We are perpetually just months away from software jobs being obsolete.

only hype artists are saying this. and you're using it as a way to negate the argument of more skeptical people.

Functional illiteracy and lack of any capacity to hold any context longer than two sentences has long been a plague on HN. Now that we've outsourced our entire thinking process to "@grok is this true", it has now claimed almost the entirety of human race.

soulofmischief: complains that AI-skeptics would say the Wright brothers were idiots because they didn't imediately implement a supersonic jet

ares623: we were promised supersonic jets today or very soon (translation: AI hype and scam artists have already promised a lot now)

eru: The passive voice is doing a lot of work in your sentence. (Translation: he questions the validity of ares623's statement)

me: Here are just three examples of hype and scam promising the equivalent of super jet today, with some companies already being burned by these promises.

soulofmischief: some incoherent rambling

[meowface]

Your posts here remind me of Trumpists citing random Twitter leftists as Democratic party leaders.

[troupo]

Lol. "random leftists"

First two come directly from OpenAI, Anthropic and others

Last one is literally made rounds even on HN e.g. Klarna bringing back their support staff after they tried to replace them with AI.

[meowface]

The AI bubble will pop any month now.

See? I can do this too.

The first recorded supersonic flight was in 1947.

Supersonic passenger planes failed commercially.
