IPv6 adoption is actually limited by network effect and infrastructure transition costs, not lack of end-user benefits - unlike AI, which faces a value perception problem.
- brookst 1y agoChatGPT has more than 500m DAU, three years after creation. Is that really a value perception problem?
- nonplus 1y agoThat value (of one company) is from speculative investment. I don't think it negates that the field has a perception problem. After seeing something like blockchain run completely afoul/used for the wrong things and embraced by the public for it, I at least agree that AI has a value perception problem.
- brookst 1y agoHow does speculative investment get 500m DAU?
- bitwize 1y agoI dunno, how did Juicero get $120m?
- ryandrake 1y agoExactly. It is possible for a metric like DAUs to come almost entirely from marketing saturation, heavy promotion, and hype, and not from actual utility to the user. I'm not sure that's the case in particular for ChatGPT but I wouldn't be surprised.
