  • never doubted the iphone for a second but have had the same view on self-driving since 2016 (and been right the whole time btw). the SDC hype machine meanwhile has been saying “1 more year” for pretty much a decade whild burning many $Billions a year.

    ChatGPT is nice step forward but it is expensive and error prone, its only useful as a productivity enchancer in time consuming but low stakes content work like SEO blogging or Graphics arts. There’s a massive cognitive dissonance between the tech companies shuttering massive development operations for Alexa & Google Home (because theyre shit and dont make any money) while at the same time pumping ChatGPT. What ChatGPT is actually best at is convincing $Billions worth of Venture Capital and Fortune500 IT buyers that they need buy millions of dollars of GPU time from Cloud Providers. That cycle will play out for a couple years before people realize the commercialization opportunities are fairly limited.
