Humans living forever is inevitable. Galactic colonization, inevitable. Over a long-enough time scale.
AI is inevitable on the same time scale, sure. But can it actually survive as a sustainable business given what is needed to keep it relevant—will people pay what it costs to support said business—not clear. Or, at least in the next five years.
The second generation AI companies will be built on different assumptions and will likely be slower-growing, and that’s when you’ll see it truly become ubiquitous. That could be a decade though.
is anyone else weirded out by folks chanting this like a mantra? imagine saying this for any other emergent tech. "NFTs are inevitable", "crypto is inevitable", "excel is inevitable", etc.
inevitability != usefulness/profitability
I'm going to run circles around you. Try to keep up.
This is literally the most exciting technology of my lifetime.
I've been a professional software engineer for 15 years. I've written more lines of code in the last three days than my entire career pre-AI.
If you're not excited, I don't know how else to break it to you. Everything you've ever built I'll eventually build myself. Quickly. Probably better.
I don't see how y'all don't see this.
Excel was inevitable. How many trillions of hours has it saved?
AI is going to let me do your job and barely lift a finger. Therefore, inevitable.
These are thermodynamically favored technological outcomes.
