      “So many AI researchers have started smoking as a way of signaling to other researchers how much they believe in AI,” Sankar said in an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

      This is the first clue that’s it BS. I would like to believe that the techbros are doing it, but techbros aren’t “AI researchers.” They actually know the limits to their work. If Shyam Sankar wont name names, it’s not happening. At least not in any appreciable numbers.
