Pretty much, you can take any article hyping up AI/ChatGPT/etc and replace those words with crypto stuff and it's virtually indistinguishable from the crypto spam of yesteryear.

I wonder what the next "get rich quick" techbro fad will be.



Honestly, it's different. ChatGPT is a consumer product that is used by end-users, with low barrier to entry. The "Bitcoin as the new money for regular people" moment never came.

With crypto, my 70+ Korean mother in law asked me how she could make money with it. With ChatGPT, she's using it daily.


Replace crypto with cloud

replace cloud with big data

replace big data with web scale

It's all just a hype and crash cycle


I'd say more like plateau?

Cloud is still around and going strong, just not sexy anymore. I use Vercel and Cloudflare and other stuff every day.

No idea about big data or web scale though, was never successful enough to achieve "big data" or "web scale" haha.


The cloud crashed? I'm sure AWS would like to know about that.
