I lost the plot at NFTs and AI.

Crypto is another like those. I know they exist, I know they've lost value lately. I don't "get" them though.

Tbh there's not too much to get. A lot of it is covered in bullshit and buzzwords.

AI is a little similar, except there really is a useful and practical technology at the core of it.

Grumble grumble. "Crypto" means "cryptography", dammit. Those Buttcoin kids are a goddamn spam scam gang bang and those kinda people go to prison! Offa my lawn, yarrr!

I kind of get AI and cryptos, but NFTs are completely over my head. I don't see the point for starters, other than trying to add artificial value to images on the internet, which are kind of the least valuable thing in the universe. But I also looked into how they worked, and I got about as far as wrapped tokens or whatever it is and then I noped out.
