I have the opposite experience. I haven't heard tech people talk about any hype new thing in years, but heard many non-tech people get into Crypto to try to get rich or tax evasion. A couple of years ago I was hearing sometimes hype about AI, but now it seems to have cooled down a lot. Or hype about the cloud, microservices, IoT, Kubernetes. All of those seem to have cooled down too and all I see now is skepticism about them or they being used in limited project with limited objectives rather than as an objective in itself that will save us and bring a new Golden Age. So I would argue that we are in a techno-depression or at least a techno-reasonable period, rather than on a techno-hype period. I may be wrong and this may be my limited environment.

I wouldn’t say AI hype has cooled down; things like Stable Diffusion, Dall-E, large language models, etc. have captured people’s imagination about AI. If anything, it seems like a lot of the crypto hype has been usurped by AI as the market slumped (and as GPUs became affordable again) I agree that Kubernetes isn’t as hip as it used to be, but that’s mainly because it’s already ubiquitous in enterprise. It lived up to its goal, it doesn’t need the hype.

  You can just check out the gartner hype cycle (scroll down to the image): https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/what-s-new-in-artificial-intelligence-from-the-2022-gartner-hype-cycle https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/what-s-new-in-artificial... Quite a few technologies will soon pass the trough of disillusionment and A LOT are right before the peak.
