Clearly everything is retro

Maybe you have perspective on this — how much of way tech reshaped life during the 2010s only occurred because of the over-builds of the dot-com era?

Again, makes me wonder what the parallels are to today. Imagine timelines will compressed and/or the level of shock will be even greater, but regardless the real impact of AI on society will only be seen after a broad-world-wide socio-economic correction the likes of which we saw in the early to mid 2000s)

Was that unrelated to the potential ROI imploding as existing supply grew more efficient? That even if prices stayed high it still wouldn’t have been worth what it cost to overcome obstacles?

If so, sounds like a reminder that if things had gone “according to plan” the oversupply would have been exponentially greater. Something i never considered.

I ask, wondering what will be the thing that causes the demand for data centers and processing power to outpace supply as GenAI gets more efficient. Rather than people just using more GenAI.

We’re not doing anything that couldn’t be done before, we’re just doing it faster, easier and cheaper.

Sounds like a recipe for a lot of junk being built. Also sounds like something that’s been true since the beginning of humanity.

In the more near term, sounds like a reminder the datacenters and processing boom will look at lot like the fiber one.

People on the outside with imposter syndrome also need to remember this.

Any mature codebase is a bit messy.

And so happens they are starting the process of going public at a time when the burn rate of these companies is nuts.

Don't get me wrong, I use LLMs constantly in my work every day now. They've changed so much of what I do. But also, we all know both the AI bubble and the economy at large are at the brink of a correction, and preventing that is requiring extreme things.

Here in NYC it doesn’t feel like it, but we’re a world unto ourselves

More than prosecution we need politicians elected who are willing to reform. Even if those reforms reduce their power as well

Gonna try and use that throughout my life. Thanks!

suddenly everyone cares about data hygiene. But it’s not like this shouldn’t have always been a priority

“Planning mode” in my estimation should just turn off writing to files.

Nah, YC has another website for that already...

Am I the average person problay not? But for my population I'd say its helped me learn a ton.

Now? Should I have just taken a few classes decades ago? Probaly.

Not saying nonprofit hospitals are a panacea, but they sure are better than for-profit ones.

In NY State at least that's turned into a cashgrab too. One they are having trouble reforming.
