I mean there's all the work in the cloud-native space. Fusion and quantum remain speculative and probably relatively long term but you can't say there isn't a lot of innovative work going on there. Lots of little things in the Linux kernel and elsewhere in open source even beyond cloud-native. AI is probably a big deal depending upon how you define it although I'm more cautious than many here are.
- elktown 2y ago> the cloud-native space I'd argue that a big chunk of that particular space is sales innovation rather than tech innovation. But I'm admittedly pretty jaded and cynical of all the bs at this point.
- dartos 2y agoI guess when I say “innovation” I’m not talking about advancements in science or incremental improvements to existing solutions, but using those advancements to solve real problems for people. It feels like tech lost the plot. (This was most apparent during the NFT craze) We advance technology for the sake of it, assuming that solutions will be found using this new technology. There’s no focus on people anymore, just technology in the hopes that one will be a jackpot. > AI is probably a big deal depending upon how you define it although I'm more cautious than many here are. I think we’re on the same page here and it illustrates my point. Innovation still happens, ofc. I think AlphaFold is a major innovation, for example. I just feel like it’s no longer the focus of the industry at large
