The main post was about burnout and hype. And I was just trying point out that things really are advancing fast and we are producing amazing things, despite the hype.

Like maybe the hype is not misplaced. There are grifters, and there are companies with products that are basically "IF" statement, and the hype is pretty nutz.

On other hand, some of this stuff is amazing. Don't let the hype and smarmy sales people take away from the amazing advancements that are happening. Just a few years ago some of this would have been considered impossible, only possible in the province of the 'mystery of the human mind'. And yet, here we are, and what it is to be human is being chipped away more every month, and yeah a lot of people want to profit.

Or more to the my main thought, a lot of heads down engineers that are cranking out solutions, do loose sight of how far they are moving. So don't get discouraged by the hype, marketing is in every industry, so why not stay in this cool one that is doing all the amazing things.
