Just be glad they've moved onto a new obsession and that video card prices are finally coming down.
Comment on Jony Ive and OpenAI CEO Raise $1B to Design the 'iPhone of AI'

AI has some legitimate applications but I feel like this is like a mirror of the “PUT BLOCKCHAIN IN EVERYTHING” hype

Not everything needs AI, but some things would definitely be helped by it. I have blind family members and there are a lot of problems that generative AI are solving that I think can help them directly.

A list of business fads in the tech world, from what I remember:
ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a good list but the blockchain line really jumps out at me for being almost 100% hype and based around a largely useless technology. The rest were real advancements that maybe had a ridiculous hype cycle before settling into an unspectacular but useful phase.

Not sure why this got downvoted. It totally tracks. The current VR and AI fads aren’t even the first times we’ve had fads on those subjects. Yes, we will get some new tech of varying utility out of each fad, but the overhype is real.

I think by painting it as a bunch of buzzwords people were reading into the comment as either an endorsement that the items in the list were the same, which isn’t what I meant. I’m just trying to give a description of the various buzzwords I remember being thrown around by a combination of scammers, hucksters, cargo cultists simply mimicking the latest trends without understanding them, and actual legitimate business models, without actually giving my views on which ones actually delivered on the hype, which ones overpromised, or which ones totally fizzed out (or are going to).
