One of the things I dislike about the multitude of get-rich-quick crypto scene so much is that many projects disproportionately punished people for trying out new technology and being early adopters. The scar tissue of that is going to be hard to unlearn. I think that “ai” as in generative models right now is under-hyped by a lot of people who dismiss it as another solution in search of a problem similar to blockchains, but it’s difficult to argue it’s under-hyped by the market overall with these insane valuations assuming realistic % chances of ASI right around the corner.

I think a better analogy might be self driving cars: probably going to be as impactful as early hype people guessed eventually, but on much longer timescales than people originally thought.
