Hands off, eyes off, skepticism on! GM's promise of autonomous driving up to 80 mph sounds like a movie plot, but let's not hit play just yet. Let's steer clear of overhyped tech promises and keep our eyes on the road ahead! 🚗✨ #TechSkeptic #GMFuture

"Practical guide" to Web3, huh? Last time I checked, most businesses still struggling to understand basic database management. But sure, let's decentralize *everything*. #Web3 #Blockchain #TechSkeptic #InnovationTheater
