So they’re using the sunk cost logical fallacy? Gee that’s intelligent.
Comment on Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence?

A dumb person thinks AI is really smart, because they just listen to anyone that answers confidentially
And no matter what, AI is going to give its answer like it’s is 100% definitely the truth.
That’s why there’s such a large crossover with AI and crypto, the same people fall for everything.
There’s no supporting evidence for Penrose’s theory that natural intelligence involved just an absolute shit ton of quantum interactions, because we just found out how the body can create an environment where quantom super position can not only be achieved, but incredibly simply.
AI got a boost because we didn’t really (still dont) understand consciousness. Tech bro’s convinced investors that neurons were what mattered, and made predictions for when that amount of neurons can be simulated.
But if it include billions of molecules in quantum superposition, we’re not getting there in our lifetimes. But there’s a lot of money sunk in to it already, so there’s a lot of money to lose if people suddenly get realistic about what it takes to make a real artificial intelligence.

The microtubules creating an environment that can sustain quantum super position just came out like a month ago.
In all honesty the tech bros probably don’t even know yet, or understands it means human level AI speculation has essentially been disproven as happening anytime remotely soon.
But I’m assuming when they do, they’ll just ignore it and double down to maintain share prices.
It’s also possible it all crashes and billions of dollars disappear.

Microtubules have been pushed for decades without any proof. The latest paper wasn’t evidence but unsupported speculation.
But more importantly the physics of computation that creates intelligence has absolutely nothing to do with understanding intelligence. Even if quantum effects are relevant ( which is extremely unlikely given the warm and moving environment inside the brain), it doesn’t answer anything about how humans are intelligent.
Penrose used Quantum Mechanics as a “God in the Gaps” explanation. That worked 40 years ago but today we have working quantum computers but no human intelligence.

So the senator from Alaska was right? The internet is all a bunch of tubes?

There’s a large overlap, but some people that did not fall for crypto may fall for AI.
Always never not be hustling, I suppose.
