Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I’d like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

    The chatbots are being used as cover to lay off a bunch of workers, and will further shittify the service sector, but I’m slowly becoming convinced that it will fizzle out soon once its clear it won’t be what they have convinced themselves it is.

    VR and crypto are still around, but neither are the groundbreaking “world will be fundamentally changed forever” technologies they were convinced of at the time.

      i don’t think these are going away soon so i wouldn’t consider it ‘fizzled’, maybe it’ll lose hype but i don’t think it’s going to be a comparable debacle to ‘metaverse’ bullshit
