Absolutely brilliant piece. Super informative. CHEERS!!!! But technical "AI Winters" are losing their brakes. What worries me is that Venture Finance and Wall Street has a way of ignoring big bugs in the system. It is the fake political economy of AI that takes hold now.

With the Senate, G7, and Bildebergs, talking "Responsible AI" (an oxymoron), the fix is already in to push the pile of horseshit, with merely the hope of a unicorns are buried underneath. Folks will even get rich and famous just trying to warn us about the dangers of AGI. As Harari points out: "we have allowed the hacking the operating system of civilization". And Greed will displace all reason at this point. Imagine AGI (even the fake variety) in the hands of Neofeudal economists, see: http://www.paecon.net/PAEReview/issue93/Daneke93.pdf
