"skid marks of online activity" πŸ˜†

Great review of two books that are now on my reading list. Thanks.

Tech bro's seem to have no problem applying fallibilism to LLMs: "We know they hallucinate and are wrong sometimes, but that's okay" but when you challenge them on their dogmatic belief that AGI is somehow merely months away they will call you a luddite and block you. Such a fragile bunch of true believers.

This is one of my favorites entries to far, Rob! I learned so much by reading how you compare these two books! AI Snake Oil has been on my list for a whole, but The Ordinal Society is new to me!
