Why does it feel like we're back in the early 2000 and people are just launching any non-sense project that pops into their head.
At least things where more cheerful and colorful 20+ years ago. Can we get the playfulness back and drop all the dystopia?
- weevil 3y agoThere's a very loud group of venerated tech bros whose strategy for the last 5+ years has been to promise a brave new world of magic technological solutions to an ailing economy and divided society. Most of these solutions have turned out to be overstated at best, or an outright lie at worst. We've internalised all the dystopian rhetoric and compounded it with the disappointment of false solutions, while these charlatans have siphoned off tonnes of VC money and sailed off into the sunset (or into federal prison.)
