I'm generally more skeptical when reading takes and predictions from people working at AI companies, who have a financial interest in making sure the hype train continues.
To make an analogy - most people who will tell you not to invest in cryptocurrency are not blockchain engineers. But does that make their opinion invalid?
Of course I trust people who working on L2 chains to tell me how to scale Bitcoin and people who working on cryptography to walk me through the ETH PoS algorithms.
You cannot lead to truth by learning from people who don't know. People who know can be biased, sure, so the best way to learn is to learn the knowledge, not the "hot-takes" or "predictions".
The crypto people have no coherent story about why crypto is fundamentally earth-shaking more than a story about either gambling or regulatory avoidance, whereas the story for AI, if you believe it, is a second industrial revolution and labor automation where, to at least some small extent, it is undeniable.
