Ok, thats nice and all. But the actual results of all of this is memes and people making cool startups.

Regardless of whether a couple people who are taking their own jokes too seriously truly believe that they are going to, I don't know, create magic AGI, the fact remains that the actual measurable results of all this is only:

1: funny memes

2: cool AI startups

Anything other than that is made up stuff in either your head, or the heads of people who just want to pump up the valuation of their startups.

> Marc Andreessen’s manifesto

Yes, I'm sure he says a lot of things that will convince people to invest in companies that he also invests in. It is an effective marketing tactic. I'm sure he has convinced other VCs to invest in his companies because of these marketing slogans.

But regardless of what a couple people say to hype up their startup investments, that is unrelated to the actual real world outcomes of all of this.

> you wouldn’t need a new term for it

The fact that me and you are talking about it, actually proves that yes some marketing terms both make a difference and also don't result in, I don't know, the government being overthrown and replaced by libertarian VCs or whatever nonsense that people are worried about.
