Agreed, partially. However, the “techbros” in charge, for the most part, aren’t the researchers. There are futurologists who are real scientists and researchers. Dismissing them smacks of the anti-science knuckleheads ignoring warnings about the dangers of not wearing masks and getting vaccines during the pandemic. Not everyone interested in the future is a techbro.
“Futurologist” is a self-appointed honorific that people who fancy themselves “deep thinkers” while thinking of nothing more deeply than how deep they are. It’s like declaring oneself an “intellectual”.
I think much of it comes from “futurologists” spending too much time smelling each others’ farts. These AI guys think so very much of themselves.
