MODERATORS
IoT, AI, much of consensus based academia and press.
How is IoT snakeoil? A great chunk of the world's infrastructure runs on IoT devices. Your electric, gas, and water meters are almost assuredly IoT if you are serviced within the US.
Thankfully. I do not need to tolerate the bullshit that Americans apparently have to.
As someone with deep experience in analysis of power sector, I can assure you that anything "smart" or "intelligent" will pointlessly increase cost to the final consumer, and margin for the owners of supply-delivery-chain. No exceptions.
