I agree with the concept of "toys become huge in the end" however because cdixon is cited going to go all in and start the inveitable blockchain discussion. Blockchain is not a toy. It is vechicle to commit securities fraud and extract money from corporations through ransomware. See also https://concerned.tech/


I'm posting this specifically due to the rise of AI art, and many people saying there's not a real use case for it. Sure, it's toylike now, I even run it on my machine locally just to generate some concepts I like, but I imagine there will be someone in the future who will use such tools to fundamentally reimagine society.
