He's full of nothing but hype and bullshit. Yes, the tech can do some interesting things. No, it's not about to eat the world. But his company, which bleeds money every month, desperately needs you to think so to ensure further investments to keep them afloat until they find the next tantalizing thing that also isn't AGI.

Anyone interested in this angle should checkout the newsletter and / or podcast of Ed Zitron.

No, it’s not about to eat the world.
