There’s some very good stuff going on but no question the hype cycle is currently shifting. Crypto is dead, AI is the new crypto.

With that, all the hype-sters and shady folks rush in and it can quickly become hard to differentiate between what’s good, what’s misplaced enthusiasm, and what’s just a scam.

These scenarios are also a big case study in the Dunning-Kruger effect. I’ve already got folks that haven’t written a line of code in their life trying to “explain” to me why I’m not understanding why some random junk AI thing that’s not really AI is the next big thing. Sometimes you gotta just sit there and be like “thanks for your perspective”.
