 the painful position of being a serious person working on something that is (or was) a big hype too

the onus is always on you to prove that something can actually be of use, that it is not *only* hype

you'd say bitcoiners understand this 😅  
 the o1 "thinking before answering" was a big leap. things are going to get insteresting from here in terms of "smartness" and ai is underhyped now imo. 

the problem is brains getting bigger, hearts getting smaller. the "soul" defined by "human - machine alignment" is lost. i mean they are going to get more and more deceitful and away from truth (truth=the solutions that work most of the time and in more areas). truth is in danger of being lost.
