"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Vibe-physics sounds like something you do just before you flunk out of a STEM program.

“I pinged Elon on at some point. I’m just like, dude, if I’m doing this and I’m super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?” Kalanick said.

Dude is right here on the Dunning Kruger curve.

Not the Dunning-Kruger. That's a reversed uncanny valley graph given names to match.

This is the actual Dunning-Kruger graph:

That curve is bullshit both in its original "hype cycle" formulation and in this one.

Because most things crash and burn in the Valley of Despair. Hyped technologies almost always hit the Valley of Despair and then collapse and fail, never reaching enlightenment or sustainability. And the Dunnning-Kruger version you've put here has the very risibly optimistic view that people break out of the know-nothing stage.
