Comment on Whatever happened to the blockchain/smart contract 'revolution' we were told about?
pupbiru@aussie.zone 2 days agothat’s absolutely the main thing yup… in almost every circumstance where people implement blockchain, a trusted entity is involved so there’s no point to the blockchain
almost always there’s a single entity issuing a thing, and then that same entity also consuming that thing

When it comes to AI, I’m seeing a variety of different hype levels. As far as consumer products are concerned, it’s mostly just hype and vapor. However, on the B2B side, it can be a lot more grounded. Recently, I’ve been talking a a few AI companies, and they aren’t promising completely absurd things. Most of them know exactly how hard it can be to implement AI and squeeze some benefit out of it. IBM guys were the only ones who were still hyping it hard. Everyone else seems to have their feet on the ground. Those IBM guys were all like: “Just dump all of your data on the model, and it will work things out”. Yeah, sure… With those references, we’re not starting an expensive project just to see if it’s true.
