The base layer is going to impose creative and technical decisions, right, onto then everything. And that means that if an update like changes how gravity works ever so slightly, every game, everything built on top of it is then impacted. It sort of fits this fantasy that a lot of these tech CEOs have where like, oh, everything in the future will run on my product.

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.
