- russfink 5y agoTwo brilliant comments right away. Wow!
- wcarss 5y agorelated, people over-estimate impacts in the short run and under-estimate them in the long run. For example, a common 2015 sentiment: "self-driving cars are going to put everyone out of work imminently", compare to a common 2021 sentiment: "self-driving cars still aren't fully ready -- they likely never will be".
