Because it can, will and has increase productivity in a lot of fields.
Of course it’s a bubble! Most new tech like this is until it gets to a point where the market is too saturated or has been monopolised.
- IshKebab 1y agoYeah literally every new tech like this has literally everyone investing in it and trying lots of silly ideas. The web, mobile apps, cryptocurrencies, doesn't mean they are fundamentally useless (though cryptocurrencies have yet to make anything successful beyond Bitcoin). I bet if you go back to the printing press, telegraph, telephone, etc. you will find people saying "it's only a bubble!".
- suddenlybananas 1y agoI don't think people had the concept of a bubble at the time of a printing press.
- leptons 1y agoThat whole Danish tulips thing taught us about bubbles a pretty long time ago, when the printing press was still getting popular.

- suddenlybananas 1y agoThat happened like nearly 200 years after the printing press arrived in Europe.
- leptons 1y agoI qualified it with this: >was still getting popular.
- suddenlybananas 1y agoI think it was very well established 200 years later. There weren't a lot of illuminated manuscripts being made in the Netherlands in the 1630s.
