I recall reading a roadmap for camera sensors, this might be folklore it was a long time ago, the takeaway was that they had the technology for the 100mp sensor and the roadmap showed how they would maximise profit using a 20 year curve working up to the release of the final sensor, by which time a new method would meet that curve to continue their dominance, if I had AGI, I would let it out in very small drips.
- bamboozled 3y agoToo much fame, money and notoriety at stake, imagine the CEO of OpenAI having 20 years of patience ?
- nirav72 3y agoHe’s a relatively young guy that obviously lives well enough right now to be able wait 20 years.
- bamboozled 3y agoI'm not sure if greed has boundaries, if something is there for the taking, most business leaders will take it.
- Geisterde 3y agoJust because we have the ability to move individual atoms around, doesnt mean its affordable to do so. It probably would have been pretty expensive (and low yield, and cumbersom, and error prone) to make a 100mp camera in 2004.
- tudorw 3y agoFair, it may well have been a roadmap based on some kind of theoretical limit on the technology, also, I am fairly old, so 10mp was probably more likely!
