The ones actually at universities seem to be a lot less online and a lot more competent.

Minor point: Only one of these people is actually an expert on AI.

They’re snake oil salesmen. In order to drum up business, they need to get their word out. Social media is the prime way to do that today.

The AI does the reading and thinking for them, freeing up time so they can post... wait no the AI also posts for them too. 🤷

Because networking and public status is a big part of the job in high end silicon valley circles. You can get hired almost exclusively based on your follower count. You can land inter-business contracts and opportunities others can't. You can leverage your reach to launch new products successfully. The jobs of executives are largely this. It's not about having a moral stance on which social network to use, it's about having access to the most eyes. I don't blame them at all for doing what they do, it's totally sensible. The question here is kind of like asking "why does MrBeast not just spend his day building his next set??" - because public status is how it all works

that first guy's bio "rational in the fullness of time" is so far up its own ass. yeah bud, I'm sure you're so smart that you can know the future by attenuating to every stand of data Sherlock mind palace style. these guys have to convince themselves that they have superpowers to avoid the otherwise inevitable conclusion that they're successful because they started lucky and got luckier, and if the cards had fallen slightly differently they'd be no better than the rest of us

Wow, you put a lot of effort into this performative hate. Did it make you feel good? Because it still reveals that you're a wilfully ignorant twit.

How dare they not spend every waking hour working
