Yes and Microsoft would never have embraced the GUI if it weren’t for Apple and other AI companies would never have embraced LLMs if it weren’t for OpenAI.
But that doesn’t justify Teslas value. In the words of the AI industry - “there is no moat” around EVs
- slg 2y agoGenuinely can't tell if you are trying to be sarcastic with the first sentence, but I'll just point out that Tesla can both have accomplished a lot as a company, been a net benefit for humanity, be wildly overvalued as a company, and have no real moat. They were the first automaker to put substantial money into selling EVs as a business and that gave them a first mover advantage that has now largely disappeared (but still exists in certain areas such as still having the best charging network).
- scarface_74 2y agoI’m saying simply it no more matters in nerd circles than Mac geeks arguing about Apple bringing the GUI to personal computers when it was almost dead in the late 90s. It is just as meaningless now on HN as it was then on comp.sys.mac.advocacy back then
- slg 2y agoYou seem to want to argue against a point I'm not making, so this is me ducking out of our conversation.
- scarface_74 2y agoI’m saying it’s pointless to who was first.
