    What I dislike in hype trains is people who don’t know fundamentals, but sincerely believe their hype is some game-changing invention, while I’m narrow-minded and plain stupid.

      The thing with hype trains is you get aboard or get left behind. Maybe they hype leads to a ghost town destination, but as a massive business you’d rather be on the train than not.

      I like how we’ve seen the Humane AI pin, Rabbit R1 and that stupid Devin AI programmer.

      The hype around their possibilities was so high. All of them were varying levels of scams.
