The "hope" is that they will make shitloads of money from gullible dipshits buying their bullshit.

That's more of a bet, which is the other word I keep seeing used about a.i.'s financial prospects. More or less the same thing though, so yeah.

Explain the fundamental difference between "hope" and "bet".

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Refer to the second sentence above. But I guess, with a bet, there's money involved. Hope doesn't specifically require that.

In other words, hope isn't necessarily a bet but a bet is always a hope. Which was my point.
