    It’s a bubble. It doesn’t mean the tech does not have its uses. And it is exactly like the .com situation.

      I think that “exactly like” it’s absurd. Bubbles are never “exactly” like the previous ones.

      I think in this case there is a clear economical value in what they produce (from the POV of capitalism, not humanity’s best interests), but the cost is absurdly huge to be economically viable, hence, it is a bubble. But in the dot com bubble, many companies had a very dubious value in the first place.

        There is clear economic value in chains of bullshit that may or may not ever have a correct answer?
