⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In which ways the dot com craze of the late 90s and the current AI market differ? In which ways are the same phenomena?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
The .com craze was a gold rush to a land with proven reserves. It was clear there was a huge opportunity to get rich. The question was which companies would find the right approach and succeed. Amazon lived, other retailers like Pets.com didn’t. Kozmo and Webvan failed but their general business ideas later succeeded at other companies. And so on.

AI feels more like a gold rush based on rumors and hype. It isn’t clear (at least to me) that a market opportunity exists to justify the massive spending going on.
