tech bros .... modern day snake oil salesmen

in the 1910s it was a fast talking showmen on a soapbox saying he can cure galloping consumption with heroin

in the 1970s we saw them as fast talking car salesmen with checkered suits

in the 2020s they'll be identified as CEOs in t-shirts and jeans

Tech people haven't noticed AI grow over time because it continues being slow. They've noticed continued creative use of Markov chains, though.

Every time it happens the computer is super duper smart and magical and stuff. But we've done this so many times now. Processor speeds increase > math from 1903 can be done faster > company incorporates it into everyday stuff and gets rich > people slowly realise it's not actually magic.

The first chain was literally a language model ffs and they barely had electricity.

(In the US) If it wasn't for Halloween being the other holiday people make their whole personality, Christmas would've bled into 6 months by now. As it is, some people end Halloween straight into Christmas.
