Every time somebody starts raving about some tech, it'll turn out to be a classic hype cycle.
This isnt productive, and the hype is the largest I have ever seen. Ireland–a wealthy developed tech savvy nation–isnt building new homes to address their housing crisis because this shit is taking all the energy and water.
That's true. The tech bros are playing the market by blowing bubble after bubble and raising the stakes each time.
Gotta ask what the supervillain-ass end game is.
Some think they can crash everything, burn it to the ground, to then rebuild it according to their designs.
That graph is peak bullshit.
Just because you believe the hype, it doesn't mean there's a milder use case for your application.
Unfortunately LLM do have one profitable application: generating spam and astroturfing
"According to this chart we made up without any explanation, blockchain and nfts and metaverse are going to be pretty useful tools in the future. Just because they were trendy once."
Excuse me the Segway never came back up
The tech itself though is still used in hoverboards, robots and some other self balancing micro mobility devices.
