Today's Washington Post reports what I should have guessed.

In San Francisco, it’s suddenly impossible to escape the AI hysteria. In bars and restaurants, people are conversing about using ChatGPT and whether AI will take their jobs — or take over the world....
The point is that as investors we should resist the temptation to do anything in particular. I think it's a bubble.

I have a friend in San Francisco who is a very successful entrepreneur. One of the things he loves about the city is this exact "entrepreneurial buzz" when going into coffee shops, bars, restaurants. So a journalist may call it "hysteria" but it seems pretty common there.
There's also a lot of "buzz" on Bogleheads about AI. But I wonder if many on here are more pessimistic, confused or fearful about the technology. Who knows if it's a bubble but I can't think of a good reason for anyone to root against innovation and entrepreneurship coming out of the Bay Area.
