We are in the middle of a full blown Stage 3 code red hype cycle. The tech industry is structured around having a new completely transformative technology roll out every two years or so. We need to remember that this hype is being created by huge corporations and investors who have a financial stake in us buying into it. It's important that we all remain skeptical to keep our critical thinking faculties intact.
From the Metaverse to AI, tech giants continue lure us with false promises of "the next big thing." This week, Adam is joined by Dan Olson, a perceptive YouTube personality known for deconstructing narratives and the modern tech landscape. Together, they unravel the reasons behind this technological hype cycle and discuss potential pathways to break free from its grip. Find Dan's channel at Folding Ideas.
