All of this game of thrones is going to create an amazing documentary if AI capabilities taper off and valuations vaporize.

If by Documentary, you mean a new Silicon Valley sitcom, yes , all the ingredients are there: The AGI believers, the doomers, the "cure all diseases" people, the board drama, the money grabbers, the VC dance , the poaching, the lawsuits for copyrights ... there s a whole new universe of caricatures

  Even a very risky attempt at "cure all diseases“ is worth all this economic upheaval, though. And AI applied to biomedicine arguably already delivered some acceleration.

Are the AI capabilities tapering-off, or commoditized? Building the next Windsurf (iteration 0) doesn't feel it's quite niche anymore.

  I think the current valuations imply at least 2 magnitudes of improvement over existing functionality.

  AI has nothing in common with crypto other than it being hyped a lot. The better comparison is the dot-com bubble.

    Well it's also being slammed into everything everywhere, its just more useful so it has even more places where it's being put
