Very anecdotally after recently having gone through the interview loop for the last 3 months (and finally landing something last week, yay), there was barely any talk about AI in any of my interviews, both from startups and from larger companies. There was 1 or 2 startups that had some trite things like "AI Native Engineer" for the role, but when I asked my interviewers what that even meant, they basically told me th…

The biggest side cost (that’ll ultimately kill AI investment for awhile once this bubble pops) is the fact that for many people LLM = AI. It’s going to be difficult to justify AI investment in private financial markets - causing more consolidation and control of future technology to fall into the hands of the large tech firms. It’s a gamble that Sam Altman and others have taken - hoping and praying it won’t blow up i…

The truth is we have no idea. Personally I'm 100% sure the future will look nothing like what Altman is saying, but I'm a logical person so I have to admit there exist a minuscule probability these GenAI CEO's vision will come true. More rationally, I'd expect something like Meta with Metaverse - enormously missing the mark but still useful for many people. The actual usage will be a function of utility and price.

Who has "the Metaverse" been useful for?

"250 or more" employees is at top. "1-4" and "100-249" are next, while all the medium sized companies are lagging at the bottom. This is signal I think. The heavy adopters are either large enterprise or solo/micro teams. Now my interpretation: Enterprises are mostly riding the hype and not getting that much real benefit - hence the recent steep decline they've seen. Solo devs and micro teams are reaping the most of t…

Not the concept but the device itself - for players.

Can you provide usage statistics to support this claim?

Or more likely it’ll look like the e-commerce adoption plots with a giant pop in the late 90s and then a 20 year slog of consistent growth [1] Pretty much exactly what the S-curve looks like. [1]: https://www.marketplacepulse.com/stats/us-e-commerce-growth-...

Possibly. With one caveat: to do ecommerce I just need a VPS and WooCommerce or Prestashop on it. In order to do GenAI, I either need to have an order of magnitude (or more) expensive server, or using an API which depending on usage might get terribly expensive for SOTA models.
