not at all. even the idea of the singularity is met with people telling me to get back on my meds. it really is a hurtful and painful thing to hear... I try spending more energy explaining it but they tell me that agi and ai automating things is all hypothetical and how it'll never happen ever. i usually end these particular conversations simply saying they'll see soon enough... and I do hope they do despite the way they get so hostile about the idea.

even on reddit I get downvoted to oblivion talking about the concept of a singularity in the 21st century and told that im ill. anyone else face this problem? I'm literally so tired of being met with this response that I just don't even bother when it comes up in the news or in convos or whatever. it's a losing game. and then when the singularity does approach they'll probably all have their own strong opinions and stances on it 20 years after I tried to discuss it with them...
