I don't think the tech industry embraced cryptocurrency.
replyThere are a few outliers like Meta's basket of currency crypto attempt and Sam Altman's World Coin.
Meanwhile, the entire tech industry has embraced LLMs one way or another.
Maybe not, but the cryptocurrency grifters all dressed themselves as tech visionaries.
replyAnd tech venture capitalists, Altman and Musk were big boosters of cryptocurrencies.
To an outsider, cryptocurrency cones from the tech industry, despite the fact Apple and Google didn’t bet big on it.
Most of them were outside of the traditional San Francisco/Silicon Valley tech companies.
replyMost of these were in Asia, New York, 2nd/3rd world countries, etc.
I think any association between cryptocurrencies and AI is a lazy one.
What a pathetic, lame reply. The OP demolishes the whole premise and your response is “be that as it may, we’re still traumatized by grifters so it’s not possible AI is the real deal!”
reply"the real deal"? this whole framing is black and white.
replyIt can be useful and also be a complete and utter fucking scam the way it's "produced" and sold.
it could also be a real advance, a valuable tool, lead to a bunch of great ideas and products, and still not be a good return on the trillions that have been dumped into it mindlessly.
