A comedic commentary comparing the current AI hype cycle to the 2017 crypto boom, using examples like Long Island Iced Tea rebranding to blockchain and Kodak Coin. The main focus is Allbirds (the sustainable shoe company) pivoting to become Newbird AI, a GPU/cloud compute company, after being sold for $39 million despite once being valued at $4 billion. The piece warns developers not to get swept up in AI hype the way many were burned by crypto, while acknowledging AI is a genuinely useful tool.
