Part of the issue is that the worst kind of people are already head over heels excited about this. We're already seeing the Crypto->Web3->LLM get rich quick folks take to this like wildfire. And much like wildfire, they'll raze the ground to ashes before anyone can use it for legitimate means.

I don't think any of us are ready for the wave of sloppy shit that's going to hit us soon.

My favorite term for this in general is "irrational exuberance". Plenty of it was seen during the most bubble-like days of the 1997-2000 dotcom boom. Anyone remember beenz and flooz?

I’m not on normal social media so I had no idea that stuff was out there.

Absolutely incredible trolling from some of those people I’m sure, while others are actual believers

This sounds ideal to me. Fire flushes out pretty much any grifter quickly.
