> Au psychosis is getting seriously outrageous at this point

So... back to a currency backed by gold?

As an Au stralian I am offended you went with gold psychosis instead of whatever the aussie zeitgeist is cooking up with extra crazy. Our equivalent of "Florida man" is "queensland man" or "western suburbs man"- about half the country at this point. Its cooked.

In all seriousness, actual AI psychosis is my 3rd risk behind 1. public interactive agents and 2. whatever devs are doing with agents to prod

All that trickles is not slop.

Aren't you clever knowing the periodic table symbol for gold! Actual Intelligence could grasp this was a simple keytranspose typo...

I disagree...

Actual intelligence might be[0] to know what typos (of any kind) are fun to riff off.

Maybe this didn't hit the mark for you, but it got a chuckle out of me (especially considering the last hype before AI was crypto).

See that way too often in comments like this. Anyway, it was pretty likely they knew it was a typo, it was just a funny response.

My mistake, I was under the impression Reddit was the place for facetious "funny" comments.

LinkedIn is the place for mid-intellectual condescension with an ellipsis at the end.

I think you missed that the actual intelligence knew that it was a typo, and that the joke they made riffed on pretending that they did not know.

I don't usually like to gatekeep but knowing that "Au==gold" is one of those basic facts that everybody on a forum like hacker news should know and find unremarkable.

You might even say it's puts on sunglasses periodic table stakes.
