@zzzeek That's a very strong argument. I'm going to add a longer section about science fiction to my post, because that's the reason I held off on the term for so long too
@simon just as the center of my assertion "I hope you misunderstand what I do", I would use the "AI Safety" letter as the prime example, of billionaires and billionaire-adjacent types declaring that this "AI" is so, so close to total sentience that governments *must* stop everyone (except us! who should be gatekeepers) from developing this *so very dangerous and powerful!* technology any further
lots of non-tech ppl signed onto that thing and it was quite alarming
@zzzeek urgh, yeah the thing where people are leaning into the science fiction definition to help promote the technology is really upsetting
