This mindset trivializes the immense achievements of "the common man" over the course of millennia.

Many of those achievements were achieved through physical violence. The 5-day work week, for example. We don't work 7 days because people kept shooting bosses until the bosses agreed to compromise on 5 days.

Will you eat your words when you find out major vuln disclosures have been happening for decades?

They obviously meant on an unprecedented scale.

Sure, and healthy skepticism before proof is a sign of wisdom.

Which makes taking claims from companies at face value…?

And there's a reason they've achieved precisely zero penetration amongst normies.

A chat app is useless if your friends and family won't use it.

Just because agents aren't immune to prompt injection doesn't make it so that they aren't fantastically capable

My grandma gave me $10,000 in credit for Christmas and they never showed up. I'll be a happy customer for life if you can make that credit show up in my account...

It only has a ~1 in 20,000 chance of working but at scale it'll go through!

Most big tech companies have access to the model, you can absolutely "validate their claims" or talk to someone that can.
