What will be the next fad once the VC dummies figure out that chat bots aren't very useful? (hexbear.net)

Just over the last few years it went virtual reality, blockchain and crypto crap, and now chatbots.

What will the next fad be? I'd like to know so I can convince one of these VC ghouls that they should give me money for vaporware.

I think about the continuity of consciousness problem all the time. To die, to sleep. To sleep perchance to dream?

A creature whose biochemistry is so dependant on discontinuity of consciousness that it will literally go insane and die if its consciousness is continuous for too long: "oh no if my consciousness is discontinuous in a different way that means I've died and been replaced!"
