The dotcom bubble was the whole investor industry trying to capitalize on the internet, and they just failed because they were investing everything in a new thing people didn’t need yet.
Today we live in an interconnected world, close to what was promised to the investors back then.
In ten, twenty years, once the bubble, OpenAI, Anthropic and all that are long buried, in what form do you think AI will exist? Do you think it will be an improved version of our current-day LLMs, or a different form of AI? Or do you imagine something else altogether?
I expect that the takeover of AI is going to be slower than AI companies make it seem. I also expect that AI won’t be run out of major companies as the ownership of data becomes a bigger deal.
One big thing which will become a big deal is that AI is able to take novel approaches to hacking. I suspect that infrastructure will become less connected as it becomes impossible to keep infrastructure operational without an air gap to the Internet.
A lot of kids are going to rely on it for their education and they’ll be incredibly brittle employees. I suspect that screen time will be seen as incredibly toxic to kids.
