    AI has just become another version of crypto.

    self serving actions by a cartel of people to artificially inflate the value of something before dumping it for massive payout.

        Was it though?

        It was the same basic bullshit.

        Crushed hardware demand, spiked prices, ridiculous wasteful energy consumption, etc etc.

            Forgetting how stores and everyone jumped on the crypto hype and suddenly were accepting crypto for payment everywhere?

            Which died very fast due to the crypto instability and even the few second delay between you handing over crypto, and them immediately turning it into real money could result in massive losses.
