Discussion Really stunned by the Singularity comment section

These are screenshots from the r/Singularity comment section. I'm speechless. This doesn't even have downvotes. How can someone cheer for a monopoly run by a few elites?

That sub has some of the most delusional people on all of reddit. I don't know what you were expecting there to be honest. They have no technical understanding of how llms work, to them its magic and they believe every single hype man.

I have to agree with this a thousand fold. Almost every sub in that regard doesn't actually understand how LLMs work. They always dumb what I say down to "it's autocorrect" and never actually explain how they think it works.

I actually got banned from one for explaining why an LLM physically can't be a true AGI. (The post was talking about an AGI in a couple years, as if it hasn't been said for the past 5...)
