I don't think the current hype cycle ends until the next one begins.

Quantum computing is probably due for another round, or perhaps superconductivity.

you're not wrong. the NFT thing would not die until we finally found another use for all these GPUs. AI took over a lot of crypto hype overnight, and while AI has slightly more use than NFTs something will need to come into the room and consume the oxygen

And to your point, I have seen more and more stories about quantum lately. Not a lot, but the noise floor is coming up a little bit

I’m curious what can over take the AI hype cycle, I’m sure something, but in some sense AI feels like the hype cycle to end all hype cycles, but we’ve had AI hype cycles before.

Why does the human mind love hype so much? Everybody piling on without any critical thought.

To me it speaks to a fundamental weakness of the human psyche. We're all still mostly driven by herd behavior

Money? I could care less about hype, but maybe that’s because I don’t know how to monetize it
