      The worst part is I don’t even think that they think they’re lying.

      They’re so delusional that they 100% believe what they’re saying.

        They are absolutely delusional enough to think that THEIR company will eventually reach AGI but I don’t think any truly believe these numbers.

        There’s been no consequences for lying, only more profit. Look at the space X ipo…The market has shown they’ll pay whatever they’re told to so lie lie lie.

        Lying gets you customers, investors, and government subsidies. And when your competitor lies, you just have to lie harder. The grift economy.

          Even if they achieve AGI they can’t control it themselves, because that would be slavery.

      I think some of them actually believe. Like on Blind where the tech bros think $100k/yr is poverty wage. They haven’t been living in reality in a long time. The tech boom has been going on since what like 2010. It’s far longer than the dotcom bubble. They keep managing to jump from one fad to the next. It’s far eclipsed prior bubbles.
