Scientists just called out Ursula von der Leyen for claiming that AI will match human reasoning by 2026. Her "evidence" consisted, it turns out, of CEO statements from OpenAI, Anthropic and Nvidia. Not research. Marketing materials. 🧵

idk nowadays re: AI bros trying to make comics, there's just no point getting through their thick skulls. Those people wouldn't have paid, appreciated and respected the form even before there was the profit-techhype motive.

Anyway Shortbox Fair is today.

AI Agents = RPA with a Chat Interface 🤖

We’ve seen this before with RPA, automation wrapped in a new AI buzzword. Cool? Yes. Revolutionary? Not yet.

Hype moves fast, but real innovation solves real problems. Don’t just slap “AI” on everything.

4/12 One participant described the process as:

"The digital equivalent of shoulder-surfing an overconfident junior developer."

If AI can't even make coding more productive - its strongest use case - what does this mean for the broader economy?

on top of all the other issues, what type of idiot do the people that do this have to be to use the racist plagiarism machine for art of a book with non-white characters. literally all the slop techhype products account for it terribly, and these also have a bunch of active racist shit being put in.

🧠 AI isn’t magic. We’re still missing the science:
– No causal reasoning
– No real memory
– No understanding
– No grounded learning

LLMs ≠ intelligence.

Let’s fund real breakthroughs, not just GPU hype.

London’s narrow, chaotic streets don't care about Silicon Valley PR decks or Wayve algorithms. If your multi-million-pound autonomous AI can't handle a standard route without human intervention, it’s not ready for commercial rollout. 🛑

AI agents are the latest buzzword, but even VCs lack a clear definition. Hype suggests human replacement, but current tech is more like reasoning LLMs for multi-step tasks. Skepticism about bold claims is wise.
