X.ai is currently #2 on the LLM leaderboard. It's probably not so bad for the investors.

Virtual humans?

I don't think the people will die, just have AI do the jobs. The people will probably still be there giving instructions.

Steady progress in the hardware for AI, lumpy progress in algorithms?

Against that you have the Moore's law like predictions that AI would be getting to around human levels around now from Moravec and the like that have proved fairly spot on. I think you may find it's more like the AI chess ranking graph than the weather.

Doubt that's why it was flagged. Probably more the "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime..."

There have been people going back to Turing thinking AI is the future and I don't think he was trying to pump his AI stocks.

Yeah. Rosenblatt, von Neumann, McCarthy, Weizenbaum... buncha morons

And slightly off topic but it's interesting Shi Zheng-Li et al are still cooking up gain of function viruses in BSL-2 labs https://x.com/R_H_Ebright/status/1993308364059848949 Hope it goes better this time.

Or just the chillier bits of our own one.

Altman for one has mentioned that kind of thing.
