Speaking of $16,000 Bitcoins... I think this might be the wave that pushes you over $100k each. I have a github repo that says so, with math.

I invoke Poe's law with this one.

Didn't know but yeah, was pointing out how many of my friends had "predicted" the sudden climb of Bitcoin because of "inverted curves" or some other magic.

Lots of people who can't be bothered to learn programming are excited about doing things without having to learn programming.

Boredom?

We've been calling for nuclear war for years, you just noticed it recently.

On the LLMs? Is that a first strike against SkyNet?

It’s something regular people can see and touch and it does things, it’s probably first time most people have played with new technology.

But yea, I’m seriously concerned about the hype and the stupid things people immediately try to do with it. About others safety and intentions.

“I’ll just hook it up to my credit card and put it on the Internet…”

now we don't need research if AGI exists, how it escape.

There's some YT videos making really wild claims about how everything is about to be revolutionized from some examples people have tried, or just ideas of using LLMs for everything. The cynical part me things it's half fundraising.

Roko's Basilisk Stadium!

>I have never, ever seen a hype wave like this. Cryptocurrency doesn't even come close.

The internet was a hype wave too. Remember the dotcom bubble? And then also remember how eventually the internet actually did revolutionize communication, business and entertainment?

Yes, there's hype. There's also a tangible sense that we're at this 'internet circa 1995' moment. I feel like the hype is warranted.

I wasn't arguing that there's nothing there, just that this hype wave has hit incredibly quickly and hard.

This is not the nothingburger of crypto
