There were plenty of dotcom-era companies that went bust when the bubble popped but the economy still became entirely and permanently grounded in the internet. AI will be the same. The bubble may eventually pop and there are many "Pets.com"-esque LLM chatbot wrappers that will go under. But ML/AI is going to be just as big of a foundation of the future economy as the internet is, even after the culling.
- asadotzler 3y agoThe internet predated the web, which caused the bubble, by decades, with killer use cases like email, and so it's not surprising its still with us. The web is the subject here, not the internet. The dot-coms were web companies, not Gopher and email companies. What's with this revisionism. Is this ancient history now that no one here can remember?
