I have to say, these days I think that a lot of people who should know better have allowed themselves to be seduced by some pretty implausible promises being made by our "tech" overlords.

From self-driving cars to the utter scam that was (is?) cryptocurrency, to the "metaverse," there are just plain limits on what can be plausibly achieved, and no real use cases for what can.

The computer and communications revolution has largely achieved what it set out to do, and anything further is going to be incremental improvement at the margins rather than the next grand paradigm shift or whatever.

(I'm just as bearish on ChatGPT as well.)

I guess that this is a super long-winded way of saying that I don't plan on riding a bike in the metaverse anytime soon!
