I believe that AI could cure most major diseases in the next 5–10 years, greatly accelerate economic growth rates, create a world of abundance and empowerment, and usher in a renaissance of democracy and freedom. [...] But

Its been 6 years of "its 5 years away". The whole "there are risks of evil AGI" spectacle has been part of it since the beginning, but I can't see this as anything but a veiled attempt to deflate rather than burst the bubble. I don't think it's coincidence that this came out on a Saturday, with time for the stock market to process it until Monday.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of artificial token cost-efficiency and medium businesses can stop fooling themselves that its worth it to waste so much power on simple human tasks.
