Operation "Science Fiction As Manipulation" Continues!

From Greg Taylor's 2-25-26 DAILY GRAIL article entitled "Elon Musk Is Full of Shit: We’ve Reached the Endgame of Tech Billionaires Using Science Fiction as a Marketing Tool": 

[A]s the years went by and Musk’s wealth and power grew, the deadlines for his predictions of when these futures would arrive kept passing by without result. He’d then offer up another date a year or two in the future, which news organizations would again excitedly report on…and then that date too would pass. And so on, and so on [...]. 

It’s a play that other tech tycoons have joined in on in recent years, with the selling of artificial intelligence as likely to become conscious any second now if we just pump enough investment dollars into their companies, and cryptocurrency as the replacement for fiat currency so you better get in quick, despite Bitcoin having been around now for almost 20 years and still being perfectly useless for buying things.

It has become overwhelmingly apparent that the sci-fi predictions of the tech tycoons are almost completely a blend of wishful/uneducated thinking and completely intentional marketing to hype their companies and maintain share price growth…and thus grow their own personal wealth.

And to be fair, it’s working out great for them. Despite exposing themselves over the past couple of years as being the most obnoxious, bigoted man-babies alive, and their predictions of a science fiction future looking very shaky indeed, their (literal) stocks have continued to soar as investors continue to pump money into their companies and schemes.

But every grift must eventually be exposed, and it truly feels like we are now in the endgame of the tech hype bubble. And I’m not talking about how over-investment in AI is looking increasingly silly and dangerous. I’m talking about how the tech billionaires now have to predict patently ridiculous bullshit in order to stay ahead of the game – bullshit of a level that investors cannot ignore if they value their money.
