Ha. A passing line from the always good Wendy Chun,
everyone is now speculating about the web 3.0, the semantic web
Chun, W. H. K. (2008) ‘The enduring ephemeral, or the future is a memory.’ Critical inquiry, 35(1) pp. 148–171.
Well, that definition didnt take last; in many ways, the web has dissolved into mere carrier for platforms. The term got trampled on by know-nothing1 tech bros.
Web 3.0 now, as we all know, is where the bitcoin grifters that haven’t made the AI jump went to establish some federated bamboozlement there to separate the gullible from their money. Maybe that will wind up soon and we can get back to an actual web again eh

or, maybe worse, believe-in-nothing techbros, who know what they’re doing very much. ↩︎
