For me it’s quantum computing - especially considering its impact on most current encryption methods

    Nothing. I’ve learned that anything capitalist media gets excited about is always going to fucking suck for everyone the instant it comes out.

    I know that’s a cop-out answer so i’ll point out that sodium ion batteries are rolling out and it’s causing prices to drop, which is great.

      Sometimes we get immediate benefits. It took a while for capitalism to take over the Internet.

        That was then, this is now. Now shit goes bad before it even comes out.

        I was looking forward to Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT before they became digital plagiarism before even releasing to the public. I even had use cases lined up and now it’s just become so radioactive that I refuse to use it even for its genuine and non-abusive purposes. Didn’t help that generative AI field actively killed one of the AI-powered (not machine learning) tools I was using. Good thing I had a copy.

        It had so much potential but all it did was fuck up the ecosystem, enshittify itself and then poison the well for everyone else.
