We talk about why froth isn’t failure, why wobbling isn’t doom, and why every great technological shift looks—at first—like a toddler on a bike headed straight for a parked Buick. I also make the case that hype is basically society’s way of throwing spaghetti at the wall, only now the spaghetti is venture-funded and wearing an unnecessary blazer. If you’ve ever wondered whether the AI boom means we’re headed for a crash, a renaissance, or just another decade of adults pretending they understand “bandwidth,” join me. I promise you’ll leave with a clearer view of the river beneath the foam—and possibly a renewed suspicion of anyone who trusts me with a hose.
