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 agree that we don’t have to accept things as the new “status quo”. It not just “how the world is now”.
It does get really hard to avoid AI when it’s being shoved down your throat. I have no control over how big tech put it into products but I still have to use those products, unlike when crypto was itself the new tool that I could choose to use or not.
It’s the deep integration that hurts choice
