Remember NFTs?
Looks like not even their creators remember them.

Excellent read: why growth stock companies are always desperately pumping up one bubble or another, spending billions to hype the pivot to video, or cryptocurrency, or NFTs, or Metaverse, or AI?

Fascinated by people on here who openly say there using ChatGPT all the time, and think it won’t have consequences like people muting or blocking them.
It’s deeply creepy, similar to being overly religious or like hawking NFTs or having an AR-15 sticker on your car.
It just screams “I’m weird and don’t know it, stay away from me.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Moltbook is to AI as NFTs are to Bitcoin.
It primarily shows how unserious and uncritical the community is around a technology that is not in itself worthless, but requires a very careful and critical attitude.
NFTs showed that nobody was interested in the fundamentals that made bitcoin interesting as a technology. Moltbook shows that all the AI Kool Aid crowd is more than happy to be taken in by parlor tricks.
All the same people boosting LLMs today were boosting NFTs five years ago. It's not a coincidence that
AI POWERED
is an anagram of
APE WEIRDO
Can I pay my AI with NFTs?
Expert systems are inevitable
Don’t get left behind, Flash is the future
Java Applets will replace all other software
Cryptocurrency will obsolete fiat currency
Better claim your stake in the Metaverse
By 2015, we will all have self-driving cars
Pen computing is going to end keyboards on laptops
You’ll look so stupid if you miss out on NFTs
I'm surprised no one has made an "is going great" site for AI like this
