I was born in 1997 and have no clue how the .com bubble looked like. With the way they are advertising AI right now (it will solve every problem on earth) it just annoys me, and what’s worse people who aren’t in the ML/DL field are buying it too. I am just curious how the .com was like and how it compares to the current AI bubble?
The AI bubble feels a lot more focused on increasing worker efficiency/replacing workers while the .com bubble felt more like throwing things at the wall to see what stuck.
People had ideas for what you could do online, but no one really knew what it looked like or how it could work. Since no one knew what form the Internet would take, a lot of companies were formed to throw shit at the wall and see what stuck.
