Why tech bosses keep sharing their manifestos about AI

Isn’t the answer just: money?

Ai is wonderful but it should never replace friends. I detest Mark Zuckerberg's claim that AI will replace friends, that's simply not happening. But AI is wonderful at tasks like upscaling or even meme generation.

Zuck's was weird. Andreesen's was just awful. Basically saying that nobody had any right to restrict him and other tech bros from raking in unlimited money doing whatever they wanted and that a bit of fascism couldn't hurt. He literally didn't give a single thing to be optimistic about. Just painted him as an absolute villain.

Was the BBC always this bad? This story represents both sides so poorly. "AI" is the same shitty tech as ever before. These "manifestos" are a PR stunt , but only because "AI" has been used as a scapegoat for everything from layoffs to fraud and privacy violations. Who reads this crap and actually believes it? Is the brainrot really this bad? They set up all these lame thought traps to make people argue about the wrong things, and they actually fucking worked?

Public sentiment about AI is trending down. All about trying to turn that slope to a positive number.

It's the only thing keeping the bubble from immediately popping. Hopium trying to keep investors from running for the hills.
