> If you can not distinguish between fads and major trends that is your problem. You're distinguishing based on hindsight. It's mainstream if it succeeds and if it doesn't, it was a fad. How much did Zuckerburg put into Facebook's metaverse projects? I believe it was $46 billion. Then there was Decentraland too, those were as mainstream as it got. You had tons of internet-famous people cashing in for hundreds of thousands of dollars just for selling their original copies of reddit memes. How is that not at least somewhat mainstream? I have zero doubt whatsoever that after the AI bubble lets go, I'll be having this same damn conversation with someone else and they'll be saying AI was a fad. That's my entire point.
