Agreed. Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but it's always the second mouse that gets the cheese.

Hype cycles seem to be getting shorter and more intense, and the honeymoon is an orgy of capital. The morning after, when the hangover clears and the drinks bill needs paying there's a thousand firms out there needing to "do something with AI whatever the cost". That breeds unnecessary and unethical technology, and it means forcing it on people through pseudo-markets. It's not just that AI is questionable as a technology, but that toxic money and motives around it make things worse.
