- riku_iki 3y agobut rate of growth is likely 100-1000 times higher
- ducharmdev 3y agoOn a smaller time scale, is rate of growth that meaningful? I guess I'm just thinking, until we see the how this all pans out over the next decade, we don't really know if the current rate of growth will hold, or if it'll plateau/slow down.
- 0xEFF 3y agoYes, it’s meaningful. If Google doesn’t fix search in the next decade then Bing (or some other winner) will be the service earning Google’s ARR in 11 hours.

- Little_Kitty 3y agoLLMs today are great for certain use cases, which is amazing when it suits your needs. Need to extract a hotel name, city, address and confirmation number from emails and return it as JSON? Not a problem. Need it to validate postal codes in Canada? It's the wrong tool.
