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?

    One difference is that we know one was definitely a bubble thanks to hindsight, whereas the other is only hoped to be a bubble because lots of people want it to turn out to be one. It remains to be seen whether it actually is.

      Hindsight is all well and good, but a bit of foresight comes in handy now and again.

      I’m old enough to know where this is going.

      Did I just hear a POP!?

      Let’s face it, the arse has fallen out of it already.
