Reminds me of a few years ago, when a bunch of people were breathlessly claiming that blockchain was the future of videogames, because it would let you transfer items from one game to another. Take your favorite Skyrim sword and use it in Minecraft, or whatever.

So I'd point out that that had been technically possible for decades, no blockchain necessary, and the reason it hadn't happened was that no developer actually wants it. And then they'd get super mad and call me names.

I'm afraid the AI bros are going to do more real-world damage than the crypto bros did, though.
