I miss when the grift was crypto which could at least be viably half assed into a solution instead of everyone coming up with with bigger foot nukes.

at least NFTs ended up promoting IPFS, which is actually really neat and the only thing that made NFTs vaguely theoretically not completely fucking pointless.

Somewhere out in the multiverse is a timeline where all of this shit wasn't overhyped and tainted by scammers and fascists: Where crypto is only used to make existing digital currencies like the euro more reliable and traceable (rather than just enabling money laundering like it does in our reality), where NFTs... Are used for video game items, i guess? And LLMs just made the text prediction on your phone a bit less shit.
