I lived through the dotcom boom too. It's a poor point of comparison, because as thrilling as the moment was, there weren't any techs then that could think or reason. And right now are we at the furthest point in its development? From the extreme pace of improvements it looks more like its infancy.
- ednite 1y agoYeah, I totally agree, we’re still at the beginning, and that’s what makes it a little scary My dotcom comparison wasn’t really about the tech, more about the noise and hype. Feels like that same kind of frenzy, but now the tech’s actually capable of doing something big. The financial viability is still a big question though. Thanks for the comment.
- layer8 1y agoAny S-curve looks like an exponential until it doesn’t. It’s impossible to make predictions like that. It’s in its infancy in terms of adoption all right.

- toyg 1y ago> there weren't any tech then that could think or reason The fact that we have people on HN (of all places) who are convinced that now we do have this sort of tech when it's simply not true, is really sad.
