I was taking the CCNA course then tests in 2013. I remember how they were pushing their IoT prediction in the courses so hard.
IoT ended up cringe af. To control your vacuum cleaner, it needs to connect to a remote API server hosted in AWS then back to you sitting next to the vacuum cleaner. I could say at the time nobody wants that shit. Now I hate it even more and I skip all the smart products.
I have a similar feeling about LLMs now. They are nice, they solve some problems nicely, they are far from perfect, I dont want them shoved everywhere.
Wouldnt be surprised either. I watched the documentary deep web and the feds admit publicly they were running half of the dark web business to make their way to the top. Like there isnt anything better to do than subscribe and wait (there isnt corrupt officials who sold their souls to aipac, congress doing inside trading, billionaires screwing working class and buying governments, healthcare causing ten of thousands of deaths, …)
