I think the open question is whether its future is more like the Model T or the Segway. The introduction of the original Segway earned a prolonged and absolutely exhausting buzz cycle and many people earnestly thought whole cities would be rearchitected around it.
Now the brand mostly just produces traditional electric scooters and the self-balancing model found a small but legitimate niche among people who would otherwise patrol on foot all day.
Not everything that looks exciting meets all its revolutionary ambitions.
- jklinger410 4y agoI can see a clear path of improvement for AI. If you can't you aren't really paying attention. Whereas, what are the equivalent improvements to be made to a scooter? Model T you could obviously compare to a Tesla. Which is how you would compare, say, a LLM to AGI. But what are you going to do with a scooter? Make it fly? Add a cabin? lol
