Blockchain is here. NFTs are here. The Metaverse is here.

Not long ago they were the ‘unavoidable evolution of technology’ that we were sometimes scolded for mocking.

Maybe they won’t go away, ever. But that’s actually not important.

Just because a technology exists doesn’t mean it will be relevant whatsoever in the future - even if the technology is ostensibly a huge market with billions of dollars being poured into it, and there’s nothing wrong with calling out stupid technology and complaining about it.

The AI LLM slopaverse is both a stupid business model and a stupid technology (given the amount of investment and valuations). Considering real world utility of LLMs I’d say it deserves around 1/1000th of the current investment - if rational people ran the world.
