current scams are crypto-related. not web3, which doesn't have money written all over it. these scammers follow the money. still curious how they will use AI or ML for scams. the example given does not convince me. and doesn't need any of the current AI/ML advancement.
Web3 sounds to me like antiquated nostalgia for something that happened at the turn of the century.
It didn't really go anywhere.
Web3 now is sort of a thing because one of the main Ethereum client libraries is called Web3: https://github.com/web3/web3.js
I specifically said 'It didn't really go anywhere" and pointed at the Ethereum (aka crypto) Web3 library!
I was expanding on @DonHopkin's comment "The original Web3 stuff that came less than a year after the Web2 stuff in the early 2000's".
In my view back then it was dumb (Web2.0 was still a new thing) and was just an attempt by the Semantic Web fans to get some hype. It didn't work.
(For better or worse I work at a Web3 company so I'm reasonably aware of how it is used within that community today)
Wikipedia has a disambiguation page in this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0
it's a matter of understanding here. web3 is a set of technologies (decentralization, blockchains, etc.). once you understand that you know that with or without crypto it can stand on its own. (oh i mean cryptocurrency just in case you didn't get it).
Most of the links in that arbitrary search page include crypto terms in the description, and I’m guessing that most (all?) of them include them after clicking through.
You have personal knowledge of many web3 use cases that don’t involve crypto. Do you have a single example?
no i won't. that page is enough for you. who are you?
Out of curiosity, why are you trying to convince me of something while simultaneously refusing to give a single actual example? You’ve already put in the effort to respond to me multiple times but you can’t type www dot (non crpto web3 project) dot com because it’s too uhh… demeaning? Literally impossible?
Are you saying that my being skeptical of crypto means I’m biased against web3?
How could that be the case if they’re unrelated concepts?
Also lol at digging through my post history instead of talking about the topic.

Cool have a nice day.
