And the same can be said for AI exuberance. Yes, LLMs are a great technology. Yes, we will probably all use them all the time in 20 years. No, we don't know how we will use them (to generate cat memes or to cure cancer) in 20 years tim

Fairly accurate in my experience. Also a note about a specific bias from old-heads: At the start things move much faster and changes are more impactful, but the start is ultimately much shorter than the rest of the lifecycle. That's wh
