Most in Big Journalism touted cryptocurrency even though it was a scam-filled bubble, and now that the crypto grifters have shifted their attention to AI, most of Big Journalism is touting AI.

This is how it works. Every time.

@coyoty @LiemPong_pagong @dbinkowski it lacks a bit of pzazz, let's make it "reality 2.0" 😂 🤣

@dangillmor I was living overseas during the dot com boom of the 90s and watched every.single.analyst on CNN International assure me that this time was different, it wasn't a bubble, and only fools cared p/e.

Speaking of scam-filled bubbles that take in big journalism...

@dangillmor Crypto was going to make everyone rich. AI will take away all our jobs and maybe murder us all.
