Vaguely formed hypothesis: the crypto ‘correction’ and the maturing of agentic AI are connected. At least part of the crypto thing was under-engaged tech people looking for something to do with their time. Now they’ve got Moltbook to play with, crypto has gone back in the toy box.

In our fully automated AI future money itself could be just a hollow prop so there’ll definitely be no point to banks or money managers and an industry that continually reinvents ways to earn fees will be gone.

In universities, some colleagues use AI for emails etc. (time saved), but we all spend much more time rethinking assignments, checking for use of AI, having in-person invigilators etc. (tons of time lost)
