What a nasty dismissal, "he's not a tech guy anyways, he could never understand anything surrounding AI".
Quoting the end of the article ad verbatim:
> And remember that you, as a regular person, can understand all of this. These people want you to believe this is black magic, that you are wrong to worry about the billions wasted or question the usefulness of these tools.
You are currently being "these people".
You don't need a huge technical baggage to understand that OpenAI still operates at a loss, and that there are at the very least some risks to consider before trying to rebuild all of society on it.
I've seen many people on HN (or maybe it was also you the other times) give this same reply again and again, "what do you know? You've not made your research, and if you made research, you don't have reliable sources, and if you have reliable sources, you're not seeing the bigger picture, and if you are seeing the bigger picture, you're not a tech guy, so what do you know?"
This essentially comes back to what the article also says, you are somehow held to crazy fucking standards if you ever say anything remotely critical, and then people will come up in HN threads and say "the human brain is basically also autocomplete, so genAI will be as good as the human brain soon™" (hey, according to your reply, shouldn't people be experts in the human brain to be able to post stuff like this?)
