You could have written an incredibly similar comment but for the blockchain 6 years ago. Down to the tone and verbiage.

I could never have done that. Never bought into the crypto hype, even though I still find the blockchain very interesting. Never had a cent in crypto currency or NFT.

In fact, I’m extremely averse to hype, perhaps almost to a pathological degree.

And yet, I can’t remember when I was more scared and excited about some tech. Take that as you wish.

I agree, I'm very hype-averse, and have moaned on here before about crypto-nonsense (and previous AI/AGI BS), but this is genuinely different.

It's a shame that people who are rightfully sceptical - precisely because of the hype-merchants and snake-oil salesman of the past decade or so on various tech "advances" have misjudged the quantum leap we are witnessing, and will duly fall behind or paint themselves into a luddite corner because of it.

> fall behind or paint themselves into a luddite corner because of it

I am not too concerned about that. It was easy to dismiss the blockchain/nft/web3 hype because there really is nothing there. No matter how hard the snake-oil salesmen tried, they were unable to create a killer app over the course of more than a decade.

I am likewise on the skeptical end of the AI hype, but I am using ChatGPT daily to do tedious stuff for me. The utility is so obvious and AI will become so ubiquitous that it will be impossible to ignore.

This seems to be a really common sentiment, and I find it very strange. Why do people think that the level of enthusiasm and hype for a technology is predictive of its likelihood to fizzle? Both real, world-changing tech and overhyped tech will create enthusiasm. You have to look deeper than the tone of voice people are using to talk about a technology to understand its potential.

The pattern: new thing -> decide if good or bad -> hype or attack.

Waiting to see how it evolves and gathering pros or cons is boring. Using it? Boring. Thinking? Better see if there's some expert you trust that has some opinion already. Readiness is all.

I find it so funny there are actually people here that seriously cannot see the gulf of utility that separates LLMs and blockchains.

What a crazy world we're in.

For some people, access to decentralized financial products can be a matter of life or death - they live in jurisdictions with limited property rights, and loss of property can translate to lack of food, medicine, and housing.

LLMs mostly provide a way for companies to increase their efficiency. Currently anything an LLM can do a staff creative worker in the correct field can do.
