     Here's how easy this is:

     "Web 1.0 introduced read-only websites.
     Web 2.0 added social media.
     So it's inevitable that Web 3.0 will bring us transparent nanospores we hijack for direct-brain control of the megasphere."

     You can recap web history and then say it leads to something, but you're making that thing up because you probably have a financial incentive to do so, and any recap is probably selective and inaccurate anyway.

     Rasmus Fleischer and Jay Baker (they/he) repeated this.

     Remember this: EVERY "Web 3.0" prediction has been wrong so far. EVERY ONE. First it was blockchain nonsense, then it was metaverse nonsense, and now it's AI nonsense. And you know what we still have? The corporate web, drowning in surveillance advertising and run by assholes, and the open web, still limping along, still with endless potential, still hard to make work. Just like every supposed web generation since 1995.
