    To be honest, I hope you are right. I was never a fan of it, and seeing people get on the hype train made it feel even more like something that needs more time to cook

      What I dislike in hype trains is people who don’t know fundamentals, but sincerely believe their hype is some game-changing invention, while I’m narrow-minded and plain stupid.

        I like how we’ve seen the Humane AI pin, Rabbit R1 and that stupid Devin AI programmer.

        The hype around their possibilities was so high. All of them were varying levels of scams.

          You would think people would eventually figure out it’s a scam but after watching scammers successfully use crypto over and over and over again, I’m not so sure.

        The thing with hype trains is you get aboard or get left behind. Maybe they hype leads to a ghost town destination, but as a massive business you’d rather be on the train than not.

      It was clear pretty fast that there were fundamental limits to the technology that many were very happy to ignore. They’re trying to brute force it instead but ran out of force.

      Reminds me of how deep learning also has fundamental issues but Musk is saying every year that next year full self driving using that tech will be done.
