Blockchain was an incredibly transparent grift. AI is a fascinating technology that’s being used and abused by the worst people on the planet and will probably cause society as we know it to collapse. Quantum computers are a very niche, very specific tool that are super cool but get talked about weirdly by the media.
Virtual reality is neat and I think it hasn’t really been used as a grift yet. I don’t think we’ve really solved its UX nor explored all its possibilities. It seems like as a consumer device it will be a niche product, but the applications for companies and organizations are very untapped.
didn’t meta and apple try turning VR into the ‘Next big thing’ very recently, i mean they got distracted with LLMs but they could always try again.
I still dont think blockchain; the tech itself is a grift, it does what it promised to do(not BTC, other coins that improved on it, BTC itself has turned into a big game of chicken), has uses beyond its initial purpose. Its just that the tech attracted grifters like flies, and their actions were transparent(yet people still fell for it)
Meta tried very hard but their ideas of how VR/AR will be used are very misguided. I guess it could be used as a social media, but it’s really much more well-suited to games and especially tools, the latter of which is quite underexplored.
Blockchain does have uses, but for the most part it doesn’t improve on having a centralized trusted source. For situations where that + a method for recovering from the loss of that source is not sufficient, blockchain can offer advantages, although its adoption still suffers from the network effect like anything else does. Cryptocurrency is valid, NFTs have theoretically valid uses but have never actually been used for them, and crypto stocks are, as with any stock, just gambling.
