  They’ve all pivoted to AI now, so take that for what its worth…

    At least AI provides actual value immediately - you can generate cool pictures right now. You don't have to HODL something and hope that you will be able to sell it to a greater fool.

      Yes, AI has real use cases. It also is going to (already has) have a flood of fraud, BS and fake it til you make it products/companies.. Notice every tech company is an AI play now? haha.

    They'll have a much harder time scamming in AI - unless they're literally using AI to scam more crypto.
    • steveBK123 3y ago
      No, I'd argue its the opposite. Every CIO/CTO of every company in every industry is now "looking at AI". Much more so than any were ever looking at crypto. There is now a rich market of B2B customers looking to write checks for "AI stuff".

        Crypto bros and most crypto companies have no technical talent. In AI, you need to actually offer solutions. In crypto, you just need to lie/shill your way into scams.

          You need to offer solutions eventually. Right now, in this VC bubble moment, it's enough to mention looking into "AI" or to change the name of your company to "[something] AI" no matter how ridiculous that something is. There was a moment like this for cryptocurrencies a few years ago, but that was when every CEO and startup was trying to do something with "blockchain" to make investors salivate.

  Justifiable homicide.
