@cczona eh idk. The Blockchain hype was *great* for a few digitalisation efforts. You don't get budget for "hey we need to develop a database backend and slightly reegineer this process." You *did* get budget for "we need to put this process on the Blockchain" and then during the project (but after the end of the planning cycle) "realize" that you need a database and not a Blockchain.
Most AI systems build on layers of FOSS, so someone good at talking needs to put on a turtleneck.

“AI projects build on FOSS” Okay, ask any major FOSS author how much money they make when *multiple* *trillion* dollar companies build products on top of their software.
Given that large swaths of “AI” projects solely exist for rights laundering so they don't even have to comply with things like attributing the original author of the software they're using, I find it doubtful that the money that was basically non-existent before will magically start flowing
