not so much a fraud as a paper tiger. i feel like what we’re witnessing is sort of a spaz session of folks who have lost power trying to assert that they still have it—meanwhile the rest of us are moving or have moved on. and yes about the robot excerpt you shared—hard to imagine a nimble artificial hand joint with sensitive electronics surviving wind, water, sun etc when clunkier mechanical machines can’t without constant maintenance. it’ll be like the opening scene of hurt locker—they’ll have to send in the human.

so, humans esp healthy ones are way more valuable than robots & the communities who need to depend on robots for caring for elderly or warfare are at a distinct disadvantage.
Indeed, I concur. We inhabit an era marked by hyperbole and a culture that thrives on grand declarations and superlative promises. I remain one of those individuals who occasionally find themselves disheartened by the stark contrast between the vast resources at the disposal of some and the seemingly frivolous, often autocratic, and misguided visions they pursue. Rather than directing these resources towards the betterment of society, they squander them on what I perceive as misguided, dystopian ideologies. To me, this is an age of lament, headline: 'Oh, what a pity' , and as you aptly put it, 'I got to move on' becomes a necessary coping mechanism.
actions can be derivative/responsive or generative (when tech sector uses this word for ai it is intentionally misleading—ai is derivative not generative)—so: not coping rather constructive.
