Hardly science fiction. I respect a lot of Simon's work, but his credibility gets chiseled away a bit each time he participates in these kinds of echo chamber posts that are basically secondhand marketing.

I'm just sad that this whole thing is destroying tech's reputation. Every time I see an engineer give into this marketing nonsense it makes me fear for the future of our field.

I get that people are worried about becoming irrelevant in the era of AI, but resorting to dishonesty to stay afloat just a little longer has a detrimental effect on the entire industry. Worst part, is it's not even convincing marketing nonsense, it's "science fiction".
