Then it just becomes a solution in search of a problem. Utterly useless.

  The way I see it: 1. many of the people doing originating work with the tech had deep understanding of the domain it applies to (and most software engineers to do not) 2. that gets diluted by people incentivized to shill for various reasons 3. so now we're not "in search of a problem" it's just been lost amid diverse noisy communication—and it's also defined in a domain unfamiliar to most programmers, so describing it is non-trivial 4. a good starting point for communicating this to programmers might be in terms of technical capability, then working toward more specific social/economic applications from there

    If you can’t communicate this to programmers then good luck communicating the idea to a general audience.

  That's only the most negative way to frame it, and it assumes from your own opinions facts about what people in general want.
