Daniel DvorkinTo be clear, my optimism didn't really last all that long, say from about 1995 when the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/WWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WWW</a> really took off, to 1998 or so when the <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/dotcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcom</a> bubble started to crack. By 1999 it was obvious things weren't working out so well: The <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Matrix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matrix</a> hit at exactly the right moment.But oh, how I miss that brief period when it looked like we were going to get <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/StarTrek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarTrek</a> instead.

For those that weren't born yet, it was known as the Dot Com bubble. It had such an effect that some very large tech companies never really recovered from it.

Cory DoctorowThink of 21st century bubbles. The <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/dotcom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dotcom</a> bubble was a terrible tragedy, draining the coffers of pension funds and other institutional investors and wiping out retail investors who were gulled by Superbowl Ads. But there was a lot left behind after the dotcoms were wiped out: cheap servers, office furniture and space, but far more importantly, a generation of young people who'd been trained as web makers, leaving nontechnical degree programs to learn HTML, perl and python. 2/

It was fueled by this notion that if you could prime the pump hard enough, it would keep generating more & more value eternally. When you stripped away all the "New Economy" bullshit, you were basically looking at people who thought they could open up a magic money portal that would keep increasing the value forever - a financial perpetual motion machine. The same logic underpins business plans around LLMs.
