It’s pretty obvious that they will hit a ceiling.

Quick buck is over. And now it’s time again for base research to create better approach.

I really wish we had a really advanced AI with reasonable resource consumption within my lifetime. I don’t think it’s unreasonable as we have got really far in the last 30 years of computational technology.

Fun read, and a pretty long and in-depth reply to the question! I remember the subreddit having discussions over defining the genre, so it makes sense this question would pop up on the Fediverse too. I have been mostly taking it as "I know it when I see it," which is a shockingly lax approach for me because I am usually the kind of person who wants to sort everything into neat, clearly-definable boxes.

I checked out the rest of your website too and I love it. I'm too much of a scaredy-cat to put a website up myself, but the stuff you have about the small web reminded me of some other interesting reads I came across around a year ago, prompted by some posts I now cannot remember on the Fediverse. I went back to the site with those reads and found even more interesting stuff to read, so thanks I guess?
