The AI crowd is boring, monotonous, mundaneā€¦ The workforce is filled with older generation academics, and is usually monopolized by only a couple of companies (Amazon, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI). Consequently, it is likely that a room full of the brightest people in the room will still seem quite dull. Although it is my belief that it is more impactful to work in AIā€”I would probably consider it the dark side.

Contrastingly, web 3 is filled with dreamers. The young, ambitious, often not experienced, and probably not skilled enough ā€œdegensā€ that fuel the space continue to provide energy to their peers. This energy may or may not cause societal impact, but is means for tremendous personal growth.
