Kin Lane writes, " 90% of what you are being told about AI, Blockchain, and automation right now isn't truthful. It is only meant allocate space in your imagination, so that at the right time you can be sold something, and distracted while your data, privacy, and security can be exploited, or straight up swindled out from under you." This is sort of true, but it's also sort of misleading. The other 10 percent - the truthful part - is pretty important, and it isn't just about exploiting you. And it's actually a lot more than 10 percent, once you get past the hype and the popular press. The bad actors get all the press (which is what they want) but the good actors haven't gone away.
