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?
At my job, my main role is being a “solver”. I deal with stuff that others are struggling with, or things that are both complex and urgent. I also handle most integrations with third party systems that lack proper documentation.
Just a year ago, I could confidently say: “if an AI can do one of my tasks, that task should not have been assigned to me in the first place”.
Nowadays it’s the opposite and I feel like AI is specially useful for dealing with things that would usually have been assigned to me. I went from being needed in every integration discussion to only hearing about a new integration after it already got merged.
