Self-driving had never the amount of compute, research adoption and money than what the current overall AI has. Its not comparable.

Crypto was flawed from the beginning and lots of people didn't understood it properly. Not even that a blockchain can't secure a transaction from something outside of a blockchain.

The LLMs are flawed, and lots of people don't understand them properly.

		People are researching how to make LLMs more stable and from a statistic point of view, we already now down to 10% (progress is made here). LLMs don't have to be perfect, they just need to be as good as humans and cheaper or easier to manage.

$100+ billion in R&D and it's not comparable... hmm

And yet they don't do really good jobs with pretty much anything, save for software development, to which people still seem pretty split as far as it being a helpful thing. That's before we even factor in the cost.

		I find them very helpful. I use gemini regularly for multiply things. I also believe that whatever code researchers and other non software engineers wrote before coding agents, were similiar shitty but took them a lot longer to write. Like do you know how many researchers need to do some data analysis and hack around code because they never learned programming? So so many. If they know how to verify their data (which they needed to know before already), a LLM helps them already. There is also plenty of other code were perfection doesn't matter. Non SaaS software exists. For security experts, we just saw whats happening. The curl inventor mentioned it online that the newest AI reports for Security issues are real and the amount of security gaps found are real and a lot of work. Image generation is very good and you can see it today already everywere. From cheap restaurants using it, to invitations, whatsapp messages, social media, advertising. I have a work collegue, who is in it for 6 years and he studied, he is so underqualified if you give me his salary as tokens today, i wouldn't think for a second to replace him.
