Just yesterday was my first real encounter with AI bros. I was at a google developer group meet up that was explicitly about coding without any AI. I went there because I thought that might be fun and I'd meet some people.

Well there was this one boomer guy that bought fully into the hype. He started the meet up with a AI News round up that also included OpenAI hack story. He was absolutely ecstatic about how much of a "thriller" the hack was and how amazing it was how the agents worked together. For me it felt like the words came directly out of Sam Altmans asshole where he had embedded himself firmly and deeply. It made me deeply uncomfortable to see someone so captured by the hype.

For me this is just another hype machine. Even if the LLM autonomously escaped the sandbox it only speaks of the ineptitude of the engineer who set it up and not the intelligence of the model.
