Sounds like a pretty nuanced opinion to me. AI’s biggest problem is that it’s being driven by profit seeking companies that, as usual, have no interest in the damaging “externalities” that are involved. But anyone that says it has no application and all it does is hallucinate and waste energy is not aware of the progress being made.
This is why he keeps running his crypto scams. He’s hoping that will lose him money so he can be poor again.
