Seriously? More AI Hype.

Right, so some chuckleheads on a podcast – TechCrunch, naturally – are whining about how everyone’s being “too cautious” about Artificial Intelligence. Apparently, freaking out about machines potentially automating everything and spewing misinformation is *so* last year. They think we should just embrace the chaos because… progress? Yeah, right.

The gist of it is they’re banging on about how SB243 (some old AI bill) was a pathetic attempt at regulation and that ChatGPT’s arrival showed everyone being slow to react. They claim fear-mongering stifles innovation. Like, no shit, Sherlock. They also think the whole “AI safety” thing is just a bunch of Luddites slowing down the inevitable robot takeover.

Apparently, we should be more like the early adopters who didn’t question anything and just let technology run wild. Because that always ends well. They’re practically drooling over the potential for AI to solve all our problems while conveniently ignoring the massive pile of ethical landmines it’s leaving in its wake. It’s a masterclass in tech-bro optimism, honestly.

And don’t even get me STARTED on their dismissal of concerns about misinformation and job displacement. “Adapt or die,” basically. Fantastic. Just what we needed – more callous disregard for actual human beings.

Honestly, it’s just… infuriating. People are legitimately worried about the future, and these guys want to lecture us about not being enthusiastic enough about Skynet? Get a grip.

Speaking of cautious, I once had to debug a script written by an intern who thought commenting out code was “too much work.” The entire system crashed during peak hours. *That’s* the kind of reckless abandon these people are advocating for. Don’t be like that intern.
