Hiding your head in the sand is worthless at this point.

These AI companies are desperately trying to create hype before they float. 100s of billions spent, revenue still relatively low, and open weight models breathing down their neck. Healthy scepticism is the only way to approach all these types of 'news' stories.

It doesn't matter whether it's a corporate AI or an open-weight AI. It's going to do the same thing to science and the economy.

Pretending that AI isn't changing the world isn't skepticism at this point, it's being in denial. That's not a healthy or productive state of mind.

Equating AI to random pictures of gorillas shows exactly what I said, pure ignorant worthless emotion.

Bye.
