Robot Slave Tech™ just hasn't delivered as the next big hype, given the tech doesn't work in the least and has no applications.
Ditto for the discorporated Robot Slave Tech™ of "agents."
My guess is we'll be seeing "quantum" hype increase exponentially very soon.

I was just talking about the deranged, mentally ill ML/AI culture in the Bay Area.
It's very much mentally ill, these people are deranged, and all participants in this event should be required to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

I love reading delusion VC propaganda, as it tells you the firm’s investing focus and a lot about the internal culture and its dysfunctions.
It also is a window into what’s being pushed to investors.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.
