I had two thoughts this morning about "AI" and I kinda hate that I can't stop thinking and talking about this stuff, but here we are.

1. I think it would be easier for me to take the tech more seriously if the financial side would look less like circular investment scams and increasingly unrealistic bets on a future that seems increasingly more unlikely (see NVIDIA, OPEN AI), and if the hype men would sound a lot less like being part of a mass psychosis (See Gastown, moltbook, openclawd)
