Just an absurd statement when DeepSeek had its moment in January.

A whole 8 months ago.

Come on, we aren't even close to the level of audiophile nonsense like worrying about what cable sounds better.

Many of the business models were good too but they had the timing wrong.

Petfoods.com IPO for about $300 million. $573 million adjusted for inflation.

Chewy is at a 14 billion market cap right now.

I think comparing LLMs and the dotcom bubble is just incredibly lazy and useless thinking. If anything , all previous bubbles show is what is not going to happen again.

At this point it is just straight denial.

Like when a relationship is obviously over. Some people enjoy the ending fleeting moments while others delude themselves that they just have to get over the hump and things will go back to normal.

I suspect a lot of the denial is from the 30 something CRUD app lottery winner. One of the smart kids all through school, graduated into a ripping CRUD app job market and then if they didn't even feel the 2022 downturn, they now see themselves as irreplaceable CRUD app genius. Something understandable since the environment has never signaled anything to the contrary until now.

You obviously haven't bothered to look at any of the research to say this.

I love this software but I was completely sick of the 303 by the late 90s.

If anything, I think it got over exposed in the 90s. The sound is just so distinct with the slides and accents.

Rebirth was also the first really popular software synth I remember and at that point it was just 303 overkill.

For me, it was an acid house album in the 2010s that I can't remember that made me appreciate the 303 again.

This is absolutely awesome. The multiple lines really make it unique.

I really never heard the enigmatic scale that much but it sounds wonderful. The only thing I would want to hear are melodic and harmonic minor modes.

I think it is how our expectations of the latest model change over time.

I expect to be completely blown away by GPT-5 in the first few days and then over time I will figure out the limitations of the model. Then I will be less impressed because you don't know what it can't do at first.

It is really more than just taste though.

I am on a GLP-1 level calorie restricted diet right now without a GLP-1 and of course it is just miserable.

I love eating a giant sandwich at night that is more calories than what I am eating all day now but it isn't the taste it is the brain chemical release.

It is an addiction like any other addiction. I have never felt that same craving for chicken breast.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

The amount speculation and fraud from this time period would make even the biggest shit coin fraud blush.

Try a biography of Jay Gould if you want more information.

Or you are just not creative at all and not making anything that interesting yourself.

IMO I think it is a combination of being a really great programmer already and then either not all that intellectually curious or so well read and so intellectually curious that LLMs are a step down from being a voracious reader of books and papers.

For me, LLMs are also the most useful thing ever but I was a C student in all my classes. My programming is a joke. I have always been intellectually curious but I am quite lazy. I have always had tons of ideas to explore though and LLMS let me explore these ideas that I either wouldn't be able to otherwise or would be too lazy to bother.

There is all kinds of music being made with guitar/drum/bass still.

All kinds of indie, all kinds of metal, all kinds of rock, all kinds of everything.

The main difference is no MTV or rock radio. Prog rock? There is probably more prog being made now than ever.
