Bostrom's book[1] is 11 years old. The Basilisk is 15 years old. The Singularity summit was nearly 20 years ago. And Yudkowsky was there for all of it. If you frequented LessWrong in the 2010s, most of this is very very old hat.

But, yes, this, in my mind the peak[1] bubble times ended with the DeepSeek shock earlier this year, and we are slowly on the downward trajectory now.
It won't be slow for long, once people start realizing Sama was telling them a fairy tale, and AGI/ASI/singularity isn't "right around the corner", but (if achievable at all) at least two more technology triggers away.
We got reasonably useful tools out of it, and thanks to Zuck, mostly for free (if you are an "investor", terms and conditions apply).

* And when the third generation comes out, all phones will already have whatever makes this special.
I don't think Sama and Ive are smarter than everyone else, but even if they are, I don't see how this flies.
Care to give an argument to substantiate that? These are pretty strong claims, "in the end" and "always" have a certain finality to them, which indicates you very strongly believe that. Why?
Is this even possible in the EU with the GDPR and its stricter rules on medical data?
Government solutions will be opt-out, and only in the most tedious way: Leaving the country, burning your passport and becoming a stateless person. Not recommended.
If there ever was a moat, government has it.
But as long as Google isn't their _only_ customer, why would Nvidia care?
But what is keeping you from making a new account and rejoining the same subreddits, except perhaps losing a hundred million magic internet points?

i.e. mtDNA changes a lot less than our "normal" cell nucleus nDNA
I think you overestimate the publics art appreciation. The average answer will be a blank stare.
Last time I checked, they couldn't produce enough H100s/GB100s to satisfy demand from everyone and their mother running a data center. And their most recent consumer hardware offerings have been repeatedly called a "paper launch" - probably because consumer hardware isn't a priority, given the price (and profit) delta.
