I don’t think it’s reasonable at all, but live your life as you see fit.

It’s easy in retrospect to be say “sure, we were sceptical of crypto”. It certainly was not easy then to voice that, nor is it easy now to be sceptical of AI - without being labelled a Luddite or just negative.

Money is a huge factor in all this, people love to discuss the current in thing and what’s more in than some tech that’s IPO’ing? Investors were making stupid money with crypto. Investors again are about to make stupid money with AI.

Investors made stupid money off speculation with crypto.

Investors make money off AI subscriptions for WORK. Thats a huge difference.

Investors are about to make money via an IPO and cashing out equity.

The revenue produced is laughable. If you think it’s the revenue and not the equity that matters, you need to do some serious homework.

This isn’t about investors, that’s the difference. AI commerce will continue after IPOs or if there was no IPO, I have zero doubt in my mind about that.
