That would have been my comment last October when most of us were already pretty tired of it, then there was an “NFT Winter” that lasted through the real winter which was caused by (1) the FTX blowup, and (2) the gold rush of the ignorant and indolent who suddenly thought ChatGPT would write their pitch deck for them.

Lately though I am seeing posts where blockheads are trying to rally and I think these are not written by ChatGPT because they are too disagreeable.

The thing is that crypto prices haven’t really collapsed and the true believers haven’t been punished enough to really change their behavior. I wish I could say people just quit trading so the prices aren’t real but looking at the charts I can’t really justify that but maybe it really is just the same two crypto bros trading.

As for MSFT they are usually (3) slow on the draw, and (4) work harder than anybody to annoy their users. They have been quick to get on the ChatGPT train, however, because they’ve always wanted to make Excel make up fake books for your organization, have Word write your homework and PowerPoint make your pitch deck for you with no consideration if the output is right or wrong and there is no way they’ll let another firm beat them to it.
