What?

You are downplaying the severity of the attack

Everyone I've ever seen trying to downplay the severity of the attack is extremely bullish on AI (so their downplaying is presumably motivated reasoning driven by fear of regulation/deceleration)

It is completely incoherent to be extremely bullish on AI and somehow automatically skeptical of severe negative events like these

I am trying to figure out how a stranger calling need an “anti-hype hypeboy” online is supposed to make me less curious about how much this thing cost. Can you elaborate on how avoiding being called this is preferable to knowing things? What other stuff should people not know about?

I think it's a super good question! I don't think the following description of the whole event as "a hype generator" is correct or, as described above, resulting from a coherent worldview.

I’m not sure that you’re using “hype” or “coherent” correctly here but what other observations might a person make that sharing them gives you concern about their “worldview”?
