alt Hacker NewsSure don’t be gullible, of course. I was never sold on blockchain, and there was major skepticism across the industry.
I only know one person who works on crypto projects, and no one who uses crypto for purchases. Yet everyone I know in engineering and non-engineers use AI for work and personal tasks. This is a different ballgame.
It could be the innovation curve stops here and we only have to adapt to Claude 4 level AI. I’m sure there will be headwinds like with driverless cars. But it’s very reasonable to guess where this is going.
I don’t think it’s reasonable at all, but live your life as you see fit.
It’s easy in retrospect to be say “sure, we were sceptical of crypto”. It certainly was not easy then to voice that, nor is it easy now to be sceptical of AI - without being labelled a Luddite or just negative.
Money is a huge factor in all this, people love to discuss the current in thing and what’s more in than some tech that’s IPO’ing? Investors were making stupid money with crypto. Investors again are about to make stupid money with AI.
