As I read these posts I find it intriguing to see how confident people are about their beliefs; on both sides, while the future fate of AI seems truly very uncertain to me. I see parallels with religion (my God the only real one). At least one must have badly calibrated beliefs.

The statement '@jeblad @wellingmax Or 10,000 maybe?' is a brief, somewhat humorous reply in a longer thread discussing the future of AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). The tone is lighthearted and seems to be a playful exaggeration in response to a previous comment about needing more data, possibly an additional Earth or two. The intent appears to be to contribute to the ongoing discussion in a humorous manner rather than to provide substantive engagement with the public issue at hand.
