We know why those are.

Cryptocurrency’s need to be fully decentralised is the thorn in it’s side. Be your own bank is a bit too much for most people used to cash or a bank account they can call up if there is a problem. It has fundamental social problems that there may be solutions to but probably not.

Fusion and quantum are massive physics and engineering challenges. With ML we are already building the chips to scale, so we know it is scalable and doable.

It is a 50 to 100 problem not 0 to 1.

and we might know what problems those are for AI in a year or two, look back how crypto was viewed on by some...

I also was not arguing for ai to not improve by quit a bit more.. I actually think ai will make a few more big steps forward, but the garantee for this is not ankered in the inflowing capital/talent but instead in the relative clear path forward of the technologie and partly known ineffective architecture.
