blockchain failed to make the right promise, which was telling rich guys they could fire everyone
if they'd offered that it would have been hyped like AI is
structurally the blockchain hype and the AI hype are The Fucking Same
even before you get to it being Literally The Same Fucking Guys
blockchain's promise is obscure and you basically have to be most of an ancap to fall for it
AI, you just need to be one-shotted by the bot giving an amazing result once
blockchain is fuckin unusable for normal people. AI is fatally usable.
