.@pmarca says AI is the biggest technological revolution of his life: "This is the biggest technological revolution of my life. This is clearly bigger than the internet. The comps on this are things like the microprocessor, the steam engine, and electricity." "The neural network as an idea continued to be explored in academia for the last 80 years. And essentially it didn't work, it was decade after decade of excessive optimism, followed by disappointment." "Then basically we all saw what happened with the ChatGPT moment. All of a sudden it crystallized, and it was like, 'Oh my God, it turns out it works.' We're sort of three years into effectively an 80-year revolution."
