     I've built my own new AI: TechBroCEO-AI.

     Basically, it creates word salads of new technical jargon that make it sound very intelligent and that it knows more about [insert next-gen tech topic here] than everyone else. Then it paints a picture of how transformative, and thus insanely profitable, this technology will be. Then it asks for money which everyone in the FoMO investor community gives it.

     Whenever asked about profits, it says "Those will come soon!!"

     @arstechnica clearly he’s trying to protect his job and to keep investor money flowing in. He knows people have stopped believing him.

     He's full of shit.

     They and Microsoft literally are attempting to change the definition of AGI to pretend they achieved it.

     @arstechnica you just tell the shitty AI that you've got to "make a slightly better version of itself", and iterate on that.
