    Wasn’t an argument. It was an anecdote. I feel there is insubstantial difference in character and behavior between crypto bros and ai hype people. Given that we are discussing large populations, overlap will occur. It has been my experience that they are generally the same people.

    Thus “I feel” instead of some kind of demographic analysis. If you are offended by this, maybe don’t associate with willfully uninformed grifters and their victims.

      Well as long as you feel something it just be true. Especially when it involves humans. It’s a lot easier to make up universal laws of ideas.

        Yup. I’m ok with having a negative, poorly backed opinion of grifters who’s lies fall in to my area of professional expertise. And if one of those grifters get butthurt about it, all the better. If they didn’t want to be offended by people not liking their bullshit, they shouldn’t be active detriments to society at large.

          We don’t do the right thing for other people we do it for ourselves

            Sure. And the right thing is not tolerating grifters.

                You imply I am a grifter? Quite the stretch. I’m curious how you got there. A vague reference to my profession brands me as such?

                  I did no such thing. I am taking issue with your ridiculous strawman you “feel” exists.

                    Ok fair, that misinterpretation is on me.

                    I feel like both of us have lost our minds with what a dumb thread this is.

                    I’m allowed to strongly associate two groups of people who I’ve found to have similar patterns of behavior. You’re allowed to dislike me for having an opinion you dislike.

                    Or you’re a real AI whom I’ve offended and for which I apologize. That’d be a fun end to this nonsense.
