Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

I think he's underestimating the intentionality at play here. The dynamic he's describing (and describing very well!) has been evident since the first chatbot, ELIZA. I don't believe that Saltman and friends don't know about this dynamic, and I'll give them benefit of the doubt that they didn't think we had AGI in the 80s with basic text templates.

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.
