In a sense, internet was this neat thing to share knowledge between academics and all but now we predominantly serve media and ads over it and all the SEO spam that makes real money.

AI is now this neat little thing to play around and has some values(non tech people makes MVPs/Emails/Slides, while tech people get faster search and code completion) but who know when the tiktok/fb like moment happens and takes all this AI into rocket to the moon.

At this moment, I think, the push is the slow boiling the frog, i.e. hold hard until skeptics just become used to it and then a generation becomes dependent on it, from which point it’ll become everyday necessity and become viable business.

I remember the “for cost of your morning coffee, you get this cool slice of server timeshare(VPS)” when people were skeptic until it became the norm. Now even if that VPS costs much less to operate, we still see the sticking “$5” price. May be AI will continue to be that “$30/month” but with advances in computing, it’ll get cheaper and at a certain point, that $1 spent to earn 80c will become 5c spent to earn $1.
