The connection is purely superficial, LLMs and cryptocurrency are two completely different technologies, hype is always going to exist with every popular technology, we need to be able to look at something and evaluate it on its own merit rather than as a function of how popular it is.

Oh don’t get me wrong both crypto and LLMs are interesting. I am just a little dubious how much money and attention suddenly flowed into one and then later out (followed by bankruptcies and lawsuits), then into another.

We will see.

As mind viruses operating on human brains, they do not seem completely different technologies.
