Feels like there have been a lot of previous technologies where the last 10% was far more complex than the first 90%. Self driving cars were pretty much solved a decade ago, and yet we still aren't there yet. VR was pretty much working and ready to change the world a decade ago, and we still aren't there yet.
So it's hard to tell if this is an iphone moment where it just rockets off in to space and changes the world. Or if it's something that will always be "not quite there yet"
- jstx1 3y agoThe difference is that GPT-4 is already useful even in its current imperfect form. It’s not a 90% thing that needs to get to 100% for us to use it.
- Gigachad 3y agoVR is useful in its current form. Self driving tech is being used for lots of assistance feature. They just haven’t changed the world yet.
- jstx1 3y agoIn their current state VR and self driving aren’t on the same level of usefulness as LLMs, not even close.
