I feel your pain, because it pains me as well. I want it to be a proper futurologist sub, but it can't be anymore. It is all about the unfounded hype.

Some of these guys are probably just kids, others are adults not well versed in computer science. All fully enjoy their blissful ignorance. Another common characteristic is that they are unhappy and wait for some magical event that would reorder the status quo. You can find these people in religious subs, UFO related subs, magic related subs, transhumanist subs... and in this sub. They are the same people basically, although you may hear them argue about the rationality of each others beliefs, which is really funny.

This article states that labor productivity is stagnating. This must be wrong, because there are everyday now posts on this subs from people who "feel" that progress is quickening. Statistics must be wrong.
