Subtantiating that CNN are pretty bad on this front.
It seems to me that if anyone should be pouring scorn on unsubstantiated techno-hype it's all of us here. People doing startups have the most to lose when snake-oil salesmen have their way and dominate the discussion. When the market then implodes we're left without funding and support for real technology that makes the word better. We get the reputational hit for BS we were no part of. Forgive us if those of us who are serious about technology and reality feel just a little emotional about that.
It needs to be called out by the knowledgable every time.
Especially when everyone who posts regularly here knows it to be true. Hype for snake-oil-tech is poison for us as a community, if indeed that is what we are.
- harry8 7y agoPeople obviously disagree with the above. I must say I am utterly baffled as to why. Snake oil hype is poison for your startup unless you're in snake oil yourself. "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." --Richard Feynman You've probably seen that before too, or at least should have. Still worth repeating, often, in hype bubles of which there is clearly one surrounding drone delivery. At least I'm not trying to do something genuine, honest and real in that space. Must make things borderline impossible if you are.
- dang 7y ago> It needs to be called out by the knowledgable every time. Sure, but the way to do that is by sharing what one knows.
