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?

    During the Dot Com era, people were actually generating wealth for a period.

    Cursor.sh is an IDE I keep going back to for a new subscription. My ChatGPT account is now over 1 year subscribed. This comes from a person who hates subscriptions: I pirate all my music and shows, and even went 2 years without a phone plan. But damn does AI enhance my productivity, and the AI powered code tools have helped me launch several buisness attempts over the last 2 years.

    I recently met a founder who works on AI agents - something similar to skyvern.com. He has multiple enterprise clients and 6 employees, despite being late to the party (only starting last year)

    So basically, I’m calling your premise of “not generating wealth” false.
