“””In effect, the AI business is spending now in order to make AI widely available. They are, collectively like Henry Ford and his competitors spending vast sums to build the assembly lines, factories, and supply chains that, within a few short years, made and sold millions of affordable cars to ordinary Americans.”””
And then came the 1930’s Dirty Thirties Depression and nobody had money to buy these affordable cars.
I am reminded of what Harold Macmillan supposedly said when he was asked what was the most difficult thing about being Prime Minister. ‘Events, my dear boy, events.’ The same applies generally to the future, including the future of AI and everything else.
