Downvotes mean nothing on HN, alas.
Factual statements are downvoted because some people don't like the facts quoted. And, worse, mods find that okay.
It makes HN a worse place for serious discussion and for finding out the facts about an issue, because what is discussed is driven by lazy, stupid people's sentiments.
KNOWING OpenAI et al WILL fail is not enough to make money from that.
Erm, ESA thought it was a dream:
"Twenty years ago, before SpaceX had launched a single rocket, Richard Bowles, a sales director of the European Arianespace launch consortium, said SpaceX’s ambition to launch, recover and reuse rockets, cutting the price of launches in half, was a dream.
‘SpaceX primarily sems to be selling a dream. Which is good, we should all dream,’ he said. ‘I think reusability is a dream… How am I going to respond to a dream?… First of all you don’t wake people up. They have to wake up on their own… They’re not supermen. Whatever they can do, we can do.’"

They are full of platitudes that sound relevant to people's problems and desires, that pretend to be based on science but have no actual basis in facts, provably do not work, and yet are still popular amongst the people they let down again and again.
Anyone who could write a book with advice that worked the way this purports to would be too rich to need Kickstarter to fund his books, for a start.
Have you done that ?
Trump attacks Iran, Iran is more powerful.

If you release an autonomous drone in an area, it will probably kill everyone there, but might use its AI to decide not to kill some people there.
Why is the latter worse than the former ?
Ah. So that's what sequential numbers are.

Stop this nonsense - you are embarrassing yourselves and fooling no-one.
Napoleon was not shorter than average.
-> Bad History.
" Most experts agree that Turkey’s strategy for success in hair transplantation no longer relies on low prices or volume; instead, it hinges on creating an unshakable brand value through innovation, purpose-built technological equipment, and medical expertise that has proven itself on a global scale.

Why don't companies see that people will pay a reasonable amount for better things, but making it worse and charging too much means people will go elsewhere ?
We have seen through the enshittification, IBM, NYT, HP, Netflix, etc. etc.
Because "billion" was too hard to type.
I hate the demented woke. I believe in people.
There is nowhere for normal sensible people any more.
We should only excavate what is about to be destroyed.
( And we shouldn't destroy stuff just to put up yet another shitty modern building. )
Way to get history wrong in your story about history.
Really ?
Who determines if a stereotype is "harmful" ?
Let the LLMs read the literature and come up with their own, unbiased views without random Big Brothers tipping the scales of fairness.
You seem not to understand how companies work.
