Before the ai panic and the nft panic was the metaverse panic, and before that was the web3 panic, and I think a lot about how all together they are a decade-long mass-delusion-based marketing campaign for graphics processing units
Two years ago I went on TV and said exactly this: The AI panic cycle was a marketing campaign by known billionaire failures, ultimately an excuse to revenge-fire workers with no immediate replacement.
I literally said "The agita around AI is deeply cultural." Me no have TV job shortly thereafter.
