I’m not convinced by this - “Innovation happens in fields where our ideas are limited by our means to pursue them” - but it’s written as if it’s self-evident. Why would it be like this and what is the argument that it is? By what measure is computing stagnant today compared to the 60’s, for example?
- z3ncyberpunk 5y agoBecause the largest industries are adtech and a million and one companies cranking out useless apps? technological innovation in the computing space is been stagnant for 10 years almost. what was once AI has just been co-opted by marketing types and redefined to mean machine learning, which is glorified brute force pattern recognition. we stifled innovation and I've been going on a trend of bloated uselessness for quite a while.
- Frost1x 5y agoI think it's almost a tautology: Innovation happens where... innovation needs to happen. Which I think is fair. Innovation does also occur where it doesn't necessarily need to.
