Do you realize how tautological your argument is?

The tech is interesting, but the full impact of the invention isn't yet discovered. Focussing on the scamminess of the loudest players in the current tech environment is unfair to the tech. But you can't critizise the current state and environment of said tech, because it's full potential hasn't been discovered yet.



Thank you, I was searching for the word to describe it and Tautological is exactly it.

The "we haven't found a use case yet but it'll happen so keep doing it till a use case is found" arguments are so common and nonsensical


Where did I say you couldn't criticize it? I just said that making final declarations is foolish, and that criticisms of the technology are often just criticisms of people using it.


I've heard this argument also as "guns don't kill people, people kill people". It's not exactly useful.
