nanotechnology was supposed to be the most super amazing thing ever.

Like blockchain, 3d-printing, cloud and machine learning?

I feel like passionately arguing with you about 3 of your 4 examples

[-] AAA@feddit.de 13 points 7 months ago

It would be possible to argue about all of them, as each has genuine use cases. Just not to the extend they were praised during the hype.

I'd like to argue why 3 of the 4 are absolutely amazing

“Machine learning” is what people who do AI for a living call AI.

I'd suppose people who work with nano machines don't necessarily call them that either.

But it's the buzz word that has been used to push it's corresponding bubble
