He and I were like… 😬 oh no

@Ruesavatar What existing products did the normies not believe in?

@Ruesavatar Tech bros oversell everything. They talk about what their product can supposedly do while everyone using their product is frustrated with how useless it is. AI cant even COUNT LETTERS IN A STRING!

@Ruesavatar Can artificial "intelligence" make a clock at any time other than 10:10 yet, it is "smart" enough to find novel cures diseases. calling an LLM intelligence should be fraud as it is mainly used to milk investors

@Ruesavatar I see the same thing everywhere I go, people either think AI is useless lying machine that only produces slop and cant be trusted to the opposite, where someone believes they can just "ask AI to do it" as an easy button for everything (and these people only prompt with a couple

@Ruesavatar lol try explaining the word etymology to a bar rando. Where do all the high iq people hang?

@Ruesavatar 99.999% of people have zero clue whatsoever what is coming. And nothing you can say will help convince them. The AI revolution is going to make the Industrial Revolution look like a blip. Just zero clue whatsoever what is actually happening right now.

@Ruesavatar Probably thought a token is still something you put in an arcade game 🤣 The tech is moving so fast very few people have any clue what’s gong on.

@Ruesavatar So the normies are over AI already? You mean the AI slop isn't working?

@Ruesavatar Nothing more frustrating than listening to normies talking about AI.

@Ruesavatar Tech circles tend to focus on AI and code. Whereas normies focus on their next paycheck. Different priorities and AI realities.

@Ruesavatar I feel like there ought to be industry specific prompting courses. A couple of years back I took a data science and business analytics certification course that involve programming in Python. Once I knew how to ask AI very specific questions I found it very useful.

@Ruesavatar few people understand that out of tech

@Ruesavatar tech is inside a bubble

@Ruesavatar That's cool, but were you aware that the name Rudyard (as in Kipling) means an enclosure or garden for growing rue in?

@Ruesavatar The average person doesn’t care about ai at all. Aside from a handful of areas ai is mostly useless beyond a glorified search engine.

@Ruesavatar Yeah that is a huge democracy problem. Most people have no clue about what can be done TODAY. Even less about how fast things are progressing and think getting wonky answers from chatgpt 6 months ago means AI is crap.

@Ruesavatar I cannot understate the extent to which we are living in the future. I am going to spend today making a software improvement which would have taken 10x longer only 6 months ago.

@Ruesavatar Don't ever go to high level executive tech conferences. It's terrifying right now. They're all like 2007 wallstreet bros all high on that cocAIne

@Ruesavatar No literally a year ago I was attending a lawyer’s panel and someone said “tech is always slower than expected, we STILL don’t have self-driving cars!”

@Ruesavatar Give us some examples

@Ruesavatar My life since 2017.

@Ruesavatar What products where the ones with the biggest normie culture vs reality gaps?

@Ruesavatar “For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” Oscar Wilde af boiiii

@Ruesavatar Existing products are just the foundation models. Our scifi reality is going to be insane when we start building on foundations of AI.

@Ruesavatar we are in a bubble

@Ruesavatar That's the level of the understanding of the general public. The whole Doomer vs Accelerationists is way above their heads. And scifi is, literally, their only reference.

@Ruesavatar Can you give one example? I found majority knows of (free) chatgpt at least. Did they think you can't generate videos or?

@Ruesavatar Where is the product that lets me upload an entire internal company database to an internal private llm, that can then be queried for answers? This is basic, basic stuff and it does not exist afaik. If it does, I have not seen it or experienced it.

@Ruesavatar Why don't tech people understand that we don't want this shit?

@Ruesavatar What a load of shit

@Ruesavatar 1/2 I sat for an exam the other day, a class for some trade I'm supplementing my tech skills with. The teacher knows he doesn't teach well, so just said it's an "open book" exam, and said we can use "the web." "Anything on the web? Yes anything."

@Ruesavatar Haha, classic. People often underestimate what’s already out there—AI feels like magic until you see it in action.

@Ruesavatar It is science fiction. The current products don't actually work and aren't fit for purpose. That makes them only promises not realities, and that's a great example of science fiction, a fiction with the semblance of science to trick people into belief despite facts and reality.

@Ruesavatar I'm calling BS.

@Ruesavatar you are clown
