Spoiler!


We are somewhere on the first rise, probably not even halfway. Expect a lot more.
I don't know... we've got groups around the planet scrambling for power resources and people floating the idea of $100 billion dollar computer clusters. Sam Altman is actively exploring the possibility of starting his own nuclear power plants. This is only half-way up the hype curve?

You could be right though. I think crypto is a solid example of a hype folly. That said, perhaps it's just not time for crypto yet?

To me a successful search means the AI can manage a large amount of something. Ya, it looks like expensive Command-F, but once it can hold something the length of a book in memory, it can start doing more and more complex tasks. How many jobs could be distilled into something smaller than a Harry Potter book? That's where things start to get pretty bumpy.
