2. Astra just came out and Fable 5/5.1 too. These are SIGNIFICANT better in plenty of tasks than Opus in November.

Try it out. Ask Opus 4.8 to do anything in 3d. Do the same with Fable or Astra.

Just because you list up some type of random technology, doesn't make it an good argument. Metaverse, Hyperloop and the crypto stuff was clearly garbage from the beginning. Easy to dismiss because all of it had massive faults.

Metaverse: The interface wasn't good, content creation was way too hard

Hyperloop: Savety was never an issue for Musk but it was obvoiuse. Peopel were building tunnels for ages.

Crypto: Yeah just beacuse i let my computer run and waste 1kw of energy doesn't mean its suddenly valuable.

NFTs: 'digital scarcity' yeah right XD

But lets be clear, 5 years ago if you would have asked anyone if they could build a system for a billion dollars which you can talk to and it would code stuff for you and use blender and a coputer, that would have been unthinkable.

We have opened up a potential pandoras box without knowing it. Machine learning is now everywere and the amount of compute we install right now is crazy.
