At least the crypto bros were idioting among themselves and not invading every fucking angle of modern society.

Not for lack of trying. They did push for cryptocurrency to be used as actual money (with some success - see El Salvador) and for NFTs to be used for managing ownership (of actual things you can use - not just JPEGs)

It's not that generative AI advocates are more pushy than crypto advocates - it's just that they are more successful. Because like it or not - generative AI does work and does provide value. The problem with it is the ethics of training it and the negative impacts it has on society - but let's not pretend it's a failed concept like cryptocurrency.

except they did. I mean, when an entire country adopts Bitcoin as national currency, then it literally has invaded every fucking angle of their modern society.
