He is saying technology isnt significant. Again and again and he puts a lot of emphasis on it. He is also focusing the circular financing deals, on it being a bubble etc.

Obviously, you can agree with one thing and not with other. And he can be right in one thing and not the other. But, if you listen to what he is saying, he is absolutely saying the technology is not significant.

I think you're misinterpreting a strongly worded "it isn't as great as the hype" with "there's nothing there". Because "nothing there that matches the hype" is both 100% true and completely different than "nothing there".
I don't think I am misinterpreting him. I did read some of his articles and did listened to some of his podcasts.

He is very very clear and open on what he thinks about usefulness of ai. He is not saying "it isn't as great as the hype". He is saying "it is useless". He is simply not the centrist kind of guy when it comes to AI usefulness.
