The first lead I worked with inoculated me to this. He taught me about hype trains long before the idea was formalized. He’d been around for the previous AI hype cycle and told me to expect this one to go the same. Which it did, and rather spectacularly. That was three cycles ago now and while I have promised myself I will check out the next cycle, because I actually do feel like maybe next time they’ll build systems that can answer why not just how, this one is a snooze fest I don’t need to get myself involved in.
