Some media outlets abuse things that are happening as an reason to push a shitload of content hoping to make money from ads. This adds to words becoming buzzwords, like crypto and AI. I don’t disagree that happens, but there is something real happening too. Whether you personally use and/or like crypto and ai does not change on this having major effects on certain industries. Same goes for a lot of other buzzwords, although the metaverse could well be an example of a buzzword without having anything real beneath it, so far at least. Some might end up not being a big thing (remember the hyperloop), some are world changing (there was a time smartphone was a buzzword).
hyperloop was a fever dream cooked specifically to kill californian high speed rail, so this one worked
ah yes, major effects of crypto: it brought new innovative ways of money laundering, sanctions evasion and ransomware, and chatbots can give you psychosis and/or noninvasive lobotomy
