"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

UX of AI chat is bad for many software tasks. Chatting takes longer than pushing a couple of buttons. @paulkedrosky.com put it best -- "People no more want to chat with every device in their life than they want to have dinner with their Kitchenaid dishwasher." paulkedrosky.com/chatgpt-as-t...

Met @jeffatwood.bsky.social randomly in an elevator after his talk this weekend in NYC. Highly recommend his treatise on saving the American Dream. Bravo to him for taking on this project during such challenging times -- blog.codinghorror.com/stay-gold-am...

on feb. 28 FAA gave spacex permission to fly Starship again despite SpaceX not having completed a mishap investigation into its jan. Starship explosion — maybe it’s worth figuring out what went wrong & how to mitigate that before flying again? www.cnbc.com/2025/02/28/f...

Heads up BlueSky folks making the move over (hurry up) and migrating accounts you follow elsewhere... Some accounts that *appear* to be the same as you follow over there, but they are username squatters. Some are in my DMs asking me about crypto. Watch out. Also send me cool accounts to follow 😎

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.
