Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

it’s weird how they’re pumping this specific bullshit out now that a common talking point is “well you can’t say you hate AI, because the non-generative bits do actually useful things like protein folding”, as if any of us were the ones who chose to market this shit as AI, and also as if previous AI booms weren’t absolutely fucking turgid with grifts too
I suspect it’s a bit of a tell that upcoming hype cycles will be focused on biotech. Not that any of these people writing checks have any more of a clue about biotech than they do about computers.
sounds to me a bit like crypto gaming, as in techbros trying to insert themselves as middlemen in a place that already has money, because they realized that they can't turn profit on their own
That was the hype cycle before crypto - you'll see companies that pivoted from biotech to crypto to AI.
given the semi-known depth of google-lawyer-layering, I suspect this presser got put together a few weeks prior
not that I'm gonna miss an opportunity to enjoy it landing when it does, mind you
