Artificial intelligence is the latest tale spun by Silicon Valley to sweep prior failed trends under the rug, keep valuations high, and sector sentiment positive. Every startup is now an “AI company”, every Fortune 500 needs an “AI strategy”, and every product is an “AI” product.
Before AI, there was crypto, web3, blockchain, virtual reality, big data, IoT, and wearables - all supposedly revolutionary technologies that have never once lived up to the hype.
In this episode, we explain the market dynamics that push companies and individuals to jump headfirst into tech trends, how this all started with big data, and why AI is ultimately just another pump-and-dump.
