Dupe. Prior discussion 7 days ago and 77pts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956153

I don't think this specific post is a dupe.

> It’s a religious fervor and heretics are excommunicated. But the dissenters, who feel they must remain silent, are largely correct.

Good god, this again. Another group oppressed -- those who stay silent because they don't like being criticized for their stand against the elite!

They can stand alongside their political refugees, the white man, the poor downtrodden billionaire, vaccine conspiracy theorists, and those that will not be masked!

Yes, there are plenty of insufferable AI advocates, and there are companies that didn't want to sit on the sidelines of a technological revolution. Did people overcorrect?

Yes. Are some going to avoid generative technologies out of some bold principal to their own detriment? I imagine some.

The only thing that will be consistent is the level to which they will whine about how they were right.

Is 100x even controversial anymore? Anyone can do it by just throwing the whole backlog at AI and let it go crazy. What's the bottleneck? You don't need to babysit LLMs anymore. The problem is that you can only keep up with so much, but it's obvious that a lot of people and companies don't care about that.

Yeah 100x is definitely still controversial. 100x means you should be able to whip up a new OS in a week.
