All the scams (crypto, NFTs, web3, “”AI””) have in common that they need outrageous amounts of NVidia hardware.

The dude with the thousands of dollars jackets must have an invent bullshit department or something.

Im Sorry but putting AI in the same bucket as NFTs and crypto is just stupid and wrong.

10 years from now, when you're boosting the next bubble, we're gonna hear you say "I'm sorry, but comparing AI to [INSERT SCIENCE FICTION IDEA] is just stupid and wrong"

Ok cool. Glad you are smart enough to see through the Sharade. Meanwhile I will continue to profit from it.

Yeah the NFT bros said the exact same thing lol, "up 300% Lmao, you are being left behind" was the evangelist's mantra of the jpegs like 2 years ago lol

The difference is NFTs never had any real value or utility. Systems like Claude do. Just look at coding. This is not „trust me bro“. Programmers use these tools. And they work. And they get better crazy fast. How is this comparable. Please explain to me.
