It feels like 6 months ago, I couldn't go a few hours without being exposed to some new wild claims from Microsoft or Google, or any of the other companies working on this. Lately nothing comes up in any of my feeds.

Microsoft is trapped in the ai bubble and wanted to control the pop so that they came out on top. So they timed their quantum news along with other “ai won’t get agi” news to try and manufacture a pop where they stayed high on the hype economy a la quantum. But it didn’t work and we’re still all trapped in the ai bubble.
