The implication is that it's a bot saying this, not a person.

No it isn't. The implication is that pro-AI people can take revenge. He knows he is secure with his opinions. He even paraphrases Andreesen's title "software will eat the world". He has repeatedly appeared at a16z.

It is very secure to be pro-AI while the rest has to resort to unregistered typewriters like in the Soviet Union.

    • You are absolutely not a "random person on the internet", you are a very public figure with the wealth and influence available to you that could allow you to take revenge on someone who says something you don't like in real, life-altering ways. Now, I'm not saying that you would do that, but it is a shocking lack of self-awareness to think of yourself as a random person on the internet.

Doesn't seem like a bot, and even if it were, the critique is germane. Calling for a name is a little threatening.

  • Looking at a 80 slide deck and saying that the charts are 'fantasies' is not a germane criticism at all. it's handwaving.

    • One of the graphs has two series: net revenue for one company, gross revenue for another. Absolutely ridiculous.

      And that's just one example. You also haven't adjusted for inflation in your graphs that span multiple decades. Not to mention that the graphs themselves are not related to what you're discussing most of the time. You're just pointing at random historical developments and seemingly claiming they imply something for AI. They don't.

      Also you don't name your sources. You just say "Companies" for most of them. Or a single name. Ridiculous. Those are not sources. You should identify the documents.

      This is incredibly low quality work. A college freshman would do better.
