To me the Bitcoin and crypto subs were a really weird place. Like 1 in 10 are long term investors and the rest are like “lol just wasted my grandparents savings I’m done. And just 20.”
The futurism sub was the fucking weirdest, at least for a really popular front-page sub. Every other post in there is some kind of bizarre prayer to the machine god or something. There are literally people in there planning for how they’re going to use all their free time and wealth once they gain access to some kind of digital messiah AI that they think is going to emerge sometime in the next several years (or the last several years, they’re really loose with predictions) and when it does, it will grant them and everyone else god-like powers to play the stock market and become fabulously wealthy and immortal.
None of that is a joke. When asked about how literally everyone can become wealthy, they usually just pile on you for being “narrow minded” and make references to how a very small number of people back in the 80’s doubted the internet was going to be a big deal.
Singularity lol, any ai sub sucks if you were actually curious about technical info and its progress, they only would post sensationalized shit like full ai generation, nothing interesting like how davincis dropping ai magic mask, which should compete with ai plugins for adobe after effects, no idea if they drop a colormatching one but if they do resolves even more peak than it already is

The AGI predictions crack me up. “Full AGI 2026”. It’s always a year away.
