Comparing these tools to the crypto or NFTs hype is so out of touch with reality.

This is more on the scale of the invention of the press, the telegraph, or the internet itself.

"I'm ok being left behind, I will join this Internet thing when it really becomes useful"...

Ok... you do you. Hope you don't get there too late.

Too late for what? Could no one start a viable internet business in 2005, or were they all taken in 1998? Is it impossible to learn machine learning today, if you weren't jumping into Tensorflow in 2015? Do you think it's impossible to learn OpenClaw today, if you weren't playing with it six months ago, and do you think there might not be a successor that "wins" and is easier to learn and use six months from now, or will I have "gotten there too late" to possibly leverage or learn agents?

I just don't understand what it is you think anyone will be too late for, unless this is just self-justification and snide ego-boosting.

In 1998 or 2005 two persons could single-handedly start a Google or a Facebook. Not possible anymore today in Internet.

But in AI a single person created OpenClaw.

It's called low-hanging fruits.

Do you think no one can create anything alone ever again? Or can they only do it by adopting the bleeding edge?

> It's called low-hanging fruits.

1 in a million ideas are 1 in a million, and they don't require being a bleeding edge adopter of anything. Do you think no one can create a better version of a first-try service? Is the agentic world now closed because someone built a mediocre version of it?

For a start-up based board, this point-of-view just feels so sad and myopic.

The behaviors of NFT advocates and AI advocates are shockingly similar.

Remember how NFTs were supposed to be the future or art ownership, and all it amounted to was awful pictures of bored apes and ahegao lamas? The NFT bros proudly displayed their shitty art - not because it was good, but because it signaled their allegiance.

Now go on to any pro-AI blog. Look at the images. They've stopped trying to edit out the AI errors - they proudly display images with garbled text and bad anatomy. Just like before, it signals allegiance to AI consumption.

Even the last sentence of your post is the same sentiment as "have fun staying poor" was for the crypto bros.

It’s the same people every time. Stupid, gullible idiots.

Remember when HN was obsessed with the room temp superconductivity fraud a few years back? Remember the zealous indignation at anyone suggest skepticism? The empty attempts to downplay their rabid stupidity afterwards?
