Nerds are the ones who warned you about cryptocurrency, and NFTs, and the internet of things. Nerds are the ones trying to explain to you that "AI" is just overhyped pattern recognition which we already had for years. Techbros are not nerds. They're predators.

This is said so VERY VERY well!

Yup. Jaron L is a nerd. Bankman Fried types are huckster failson bandits.

If anything, techbros are bullies with the pretense of being nerds.

Wozniak vs. Jobs.

My techbro cousin might be the actual least nerdy individual I've ever met in my life

I went to grad school for computer science and we all fucking hated all of these things and thought it was all bullshit

And it’s well demonstrated by the fact that the exact same assholes who wouldn’t shut up about how the blockchain was going to change the world are now talking about generative “AI” the exact same way. I even just saw one try to pull the same “read the white paper” dodge they did with bitcoin.

100% this

Hell yeah. In the field I currently work in, there's not one day where AI Investors aren't banging at my emails. AI will play a role in the field, perhaps a big role, but 99.5% of those techbros email are as phony as they go. The real work happens in the back, with no VC money, methodically.

Tech bros are the jocks who became friends with the loner nerds solely to get them to do their homework. And the nerds eventually catch on
