The worst kind of tech hype is when something is portrayed as inevitable and unstoppable, with criticism or doubt blithely dismissed as "they don't get it".

Just because a giant tech company pours vast amounts of money down a toilet, that doesn't mean the toilet is going to start spewing gold coins into the air.

@FediThing I think it’s especially dangerous when multiple big tech companies get on [insert whatever overhyped tech thingy here] and it just exponentially increases said hype.
@MIfoodie @FediThing
I'd expect more of a quadratic increase from this, are you sure it's exponential?
