Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

TBF what's the difference between a "AI" seance and a "real" one? It's not like one is less of a grift than the other.
TECHNOLOGY!!
That's the problem.
Maybe I'm just reading the room wrong, but the consensus of the comment section seems to be "haha he thinks AI can replace psychics" but all psychics do is take what people said, reframe it and maybe add some nonsense after that can sound vaguely correct. For the most part, that is LLMs. LLMs could replace the psychic industry because unlike other professions there's zero obligation to be correct about anything.
Is it unethical? Absolutely. But psychics are already frauds so it's not like a legitimate profession is being replaced.
Of course, I could just be misreading the room.
it's like how crypto is new skins on old frauds
