1 year agoHow is this even a research paper. It’s just very pedestrian speculation about what technology is going to emerge. It’s barely a blog post, and not a very good one at that.
An apt analogy. Just like the web underlying technology is incredible and the hype is real, but it leads to endless fluff and stupid naive investments, many of which will lead nowhere. There were certainly be a lot of amazing advances using this tech in the coming decades, but for every one that is useful there will be 20 or 50 or 100 pieces of vaporware that is just trying to grab VC money.
