General Discussion

Master the lingo and presentations of this stuff and market it to the masses. Internet-influencers are small potatoes - they only seek to enrich themselves and miss the bigger picture by competing with each other for attention and subscriptions instead of actuially harnessing their product/concept for actual use (instead of selling people "The Dream" ). This is nothing more than the latest flavor of the classic get rich fast with no risk and minimal effort day dream pitch.

All "next big thing" opportunities follow this same kind of playbook - sell people on THEIR DESIRES and / or THEIR FEARS - it literally MUST START HERE for emotional and psychological reasons. There MUST first be a baited hook that the mark WANTS DESPERATELY to possess.

Provide a bleak picture of pain and fear to be avoided at all costs - the tech-bros know FOMO. Then offer a solution - at first it must appear to be magic (too complicated for me...boo-hoo ...) and THEN, BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!! After getting people to fear something, and to fear that they are on the wrong side of the inevitable...you offer them an easy 3-step process that only YOU can offer and you make them WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY.

In the end, the world is still seeing grifters and snake oil salesmen because of humanity's greatest reality - we ALL want something for nothing and a life of luxury and choice without requirements or "no". Very few EVER attain that, but the sales pitch goes ever on.

The happiest people, the most-fulfilled, the most balanced and most fun to know are invariably those that have passion for things that are NOT strictly monetary and governed by access (which can only be bought, not actually earned).

Why is a college education valuable? Its NOT just to get a job. It is to develop one's brain, to enhance one's ability to be creative - to find or create answers to problems that do not exist today because someone will need to do so in the future as well. I hire exclusively technical degreed professionals and I NEVER do so with a spreadsheet or list of tasks to be finished as fast as possible. I challenge their thinking process and their skills at communicating a cogent response to an off the wall or unexpected question. AI that is based on algorithms is forever beholden to the quality of the input it receives AND the quality of the output it is told to deliver.

The appearance of intelligence and answers that approximate thoughts are elusive and possibly will be achieved, but then again, so too might teleportation, warp speed, and eternal youthful life. There will NEVER be a dearth of people sponging off of heir fellow man by selling them exactly what they can make their mark believe they NEED and WANT.

The joke is that when the end inevitably comes for us all, we don't see our fading loved ones wishing for more goods and services or money or applause or fame. We all want connection - real, tangible, fleeting and fragile but precious and worth everything that money or status or stuff cannot offer. When you go looking for the golden goose, you better first define why you are doing so in the first place. Economies of the world cannot suddenly fire all the workers of the world and still exist in a employee-less, customer-free void. Someone has to have money or currency or capital to spend of the gears seize up and the music stops.
