A business professor told me that cars were entirely incremental innovation all the way from the model T. Just little improvements, one at a time. I don't know if that's true, but I wonder if it will be an apt analogy for AGI - one feature at a time, and older attempts at it just look outdated.

- maxerickson 7y agoThings like automatic transmissions and fuel injection aren't particularly incremental.
- benogorek 7y agoAs someone who once got stuck in an intersection after flooding a '79 Monte Carlo's carburetor while deciding to go on red, I'm with you on fuel injection. But I could see the counter-argument that something that makes an experience nicer is not radical innovation. That old junker got me where I need to go for a while.
