Like, I don't think you get "AI" in its current vainglorious "this will change everything" form without a lot of people forgetting how reality actually works.

The violent disconnect between tech and finance people and reality has a lot to do with how Trump became president because they don't know what anything is for.

Everything either makes them money or is an impediment to making money purely in the short term. Whether a product actually works or even exists is irrelevant. And so Trump, the GOP, and shit like DOGE is just a way to clear away what they see as the detritus, which is the only thing keeping society together.

I think they believe, in a very literal sense, that "AI" lets them rewrite reality. Because that's their experience of money, frankly. They can buy impunity for everything except death and they believe they can conquer that, too.
