And, if you notice, a large portion of the people banging the LLM drum fall into 2 categories:

1) The same people that were banging the drum for Web3
2) People who would have been in group 1 if they were in tech at the time

The version of this that made me very sad with crypto stuff was telling Black people that web3 was the new economy, and that they needed to participate or be left behind like they were in the last economy. That one is still really gutting to me.

How many tech bubbles have there been since the invention of "Big tech" always selling itself as the next big thing you need to get on top of before it's too late?

Always best to keep your eye on what the greedsters who were first in the door are doing. When it becomes apparent that that cow is milked, they'll also be the first to leave.
