@glowl @jaystephens @larsmb @b_rain I've written elsewhere in the thread about how it's a vulnerabilty. What I take exception to is the idea that it's "late adopters" who are especially vulnerable to being bedazzled by the scam. I think it's plausible that they're *more* resilient on average, by virtue of not having been wowed by the previous "big thing" either.
My impression is that it's people with a proclivity for admiring authority and for wanting to be in in-groups who are most vulnerable to techno-futurist scams like "AI". They don't understand or care about the actual technology because their interest isn't in it, but in projecting an image of being someone who's in "club tech".
