Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Sure, like NFTs were here to stay, and the gazillion different shitcoins that were popping up everywhere some years ago.
To me it seems more like the bubble is finally beginning to burst. People are fed up by the hype and by having AI shoved down their throats literally everywhere. Companies start realizing that they cannot outsource everything to the shitrobot without having to pay people to fix the garbage produced by the shitrobot - so they are going back to paying people for the original task. I start to see it happening in my industry. All I read theses days are major fuckups by something AI everywhere I look. Hopefully the creators who invented this fuckery end up being forced to shove it up their arse, considering the environmental and societal destruction they caused.
The complaints about NFTs were always that they were stupid and useless. The complaints about AI are primarily that it's unethical.
Guess which of these things Capitalism doesn't care about
Not really. It's unethical, and also stupid and useless, if you scratch its shiny surface only just a little bit. When was the last time I needed careless slop? I can't remember really. I need slop as much as I need overpriced digital ape pictures.
