This does not mean people do not care about privacy.
It means privacy usually loses when it requires sacrifice — and wins when it is packaged as convenience, protection, or financial upside.

What amazes me more is we already have ZK technology available to make verification process safe for both sides, but still no big player implemented it on obvious use cases. Everybody wants all our data, nobody knows how to handle it properly.
There is a strange loop in the AI economy: AI companies sell to AI companies, which then sell AI to people who use it to do things.
Many of the most visible new businesses today are “AI something.”
But what about businesses that aren’t built around AI?
So far, all my personal attempts to build something meaningful or profitable with AI have failed.
I suspect I’m not alone. I’ve spent a few thousand dollars on hardware and services, but I still have no evidence of a sustainable business or a genuinely useful solution.
I’m still using AI. I’m still experimenting and trying different things. This is not an argument against the technology.
But usage is not value. And so far, in my case, AI has produced more costs than results.
The gold-rush analogy is familiar: a few people find gold, while others make money selling the tools.
I’m not particularly worried about it. I’m just trying to stay honest about the results, avoid building my life around an unproven business model, and be prepared if the bubble eventually pops.
