".@pmarca said something recently that struck me. He said, 'Forget about the internet. This is bigger than the wheel.'"
"I don't think that's an overstatement." @illscience explains why he believes AI is the most powerful thing humans have invented:
"ChatGPT has 900 million weekly actives. The speed of that product to that scale is an order of magnitude faster than the next fastest."
"If you look at prices, they're an order of magnitude higher. And then, if you just sort of squint at the technology surface and the things you can do, it has got to be two or three orders of magnitude more powerful than anything we've ever built."
