Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

boy oh boy the IEEE has fallen pretty fucking far hasn’t it
the IoE is defined as the internet of things but more so. fucking brilliant. I can’t wait to use digital technology in my industry. also I can’t wait for Nike to deny my insurance claim because my shoes decided I was too active to be sick.
something tells me the only reason this piece of shit was published was to reputation wash uncited claims like this one. this one specifically is a horseshit claim we’ve seen before, earlier in the generative AI hype cycle — it’s the nonsensical idea that a blockchain could somehow be used to add a verification and attribution layer to an LLM’s training data set
there’s a bunch of points in this document where the writing goes from the style of a confused undergrad assistant to what’s almost definitely an LLM fabricating shit. fucking behold: the blockchain will somehow secure the communication link with your UAV and authenticate it with air traffic control (what? also, these are things that existing cryptosystems are good at that blockchains specifically are fucking worthless for) and it’ll also help with your… drone insurance…?
all of this is almost certainly an LLM generating bullshit that sounds drone-related
finally, they didn’t even finish the conclusion paragraph:
what do these words mean? is this what research is now?
just ran into this gem too: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9205201
it's maddening how much marketing and outright scifantasy are being washed through reputable outlets under the veneer of research and/or technical writing
