The AI Boom: Insights and Opportunities
As we navigate the current AI investment frenzy, comparisons to the dotcom bubble arise. While both involve overbuilding, the implications differ:
-
Durable Infrastructure vs. Proprietary Systems:
- Dotcom spending led to resilient, open infrastructure—think TCP/IP and HTTP.
- Today’s investments prioritize expensive, short-lived GPUs and closed ecosystems controlled by major players like Nvidia and Google.
-
Potential Upsides:
- An excess in AI capacity could reduce prices, similar to the dotcom bandwidth glut.
- This may foster innovation across diverse fields—simulation, scientific exploration, and data analytics.
-
The Importance of Openness:
- Successful tech revolutions thrive on shared standards.
- Without openness, today’s AI advancements may remain inaccessible and underutilized.
