We might be early but we’re not wrong.

Pets.com was an ignominious scam but the internet flourished after a cleansing.

Do you think anyone will pay for photoshop in 10 years, when a free version can be conjured up just by screen capturing all the interactions professionals have with photoshop?

You couldn't be more right. This is in fact exactly like the dotcom bubble. LLMs are a useful technology, just like the internet. And yet the people losing their goddamn minds in the hysteria are the ones who are going to be bankrupted. I would almost be happy about it, if the ones most responsible weren't convincing a bunch of gullible saps to hold the bag while they make off with their ill-gotten gains.
