>Many of these posts come from people who were all in on crypto companies a few years ago.

This is ditto my observation. There seems to be a certain "type" of people like this. And it's not just people looking for work.

My guess is either they have super low critical thinking, a very cynical view of the world where lies and exaggeration are the only way to make it, or something more pathological (narcissism etc).

The "type" is simply the get-rich-quick schemers.

I have a relative who was late to crypto, late to drop shipping, late to carbon credits, but is now absolutely all-in on AI as his ticket out. It honestly depresses the hell out of me trying to talk to him because everything is about money and getting rich.

People like this don't care about underlying technologies or learning past the most basic surface level of understanding.
