    Am I the only one who feels dotcom vibes around this field?

      I expect this to proceed similarly: many companies and funding dollars will burn in flames and still, the world will be a different place in a decade thanks to this technology.

        Why am I feeling it isn’t going to be a repeat of the standards-driven co-operative development supported by open source software infrastructure that occurred during the decade and a half after the dotcom bubble… I have a feeling it would resemble the pre mass computing world of AT&T, GE and IBM.

      Same with crypto right? It’s the standard new tech comes out and 100 companies tries to capitalize and maybe 5% will survive.

        This is the correct answer. Consolidation of resources and power. Sure there will still be those on the periphery trying to make something from the eddies and currents left in the wake of these massive corporate ships cruising by, but the vast majority of the little guys will drown. Unfortunately I don’t see another way for humanity to galvanized enough resources to create AGI in our lifetime. So there will be consequences, but such is life, the biggest mold gets the food. Then come the viruses.

      I love when ppl call out the dot coms as of the winners of the dot com bubble aren’t still around.

      AI will not burst. There is too much value there to too many industries.

      Name one business that doesn’t have a web domain and or FB page. In 20 years u won’t be able to name a company that doesn’t use AI in some way.
