>... NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich. is not really how it works. They are invented by inventors / scientists who think hey this would be cool. The amount of money then invested then depends a bit on markets / vcs / hucksters but developing neural nets say was done in accademia without much thought of markets or VCs. I do think the amount of money now being invested now is kind of crazy and a bubble and should be scaled back somehow.
