Web 2.0 vs. AI where is the fucking dynamism

2•hotOrNot•1h ago
HYPERGROWTH:Back then, it felt like there was a banger website/app every year. AI still has not solved the horizontal problem. It is still hard to use for many. The dynamism back teh was crazy. THINGS like facebook or Youtube were made by college kids and took over the world over night. TOOK OVER. Nowadays it is just a few AI companies at the top.(google openai x anthropic), where is the dynamism

One explanation is that people no longer have ideas.

What do you think might explain what you see?

hotOrNot•1h ago
But don't you miss the dynamism? Looking back, it is quite sad, that we never reached that peak again

Τι στο καλό έχεις

In the Web 2.0 age nobody knew where the money was going to come from: on the small a few people just built without worrying what it cost because it didn’t cost much, in the large Silicon Valley investors were the only game in town (had investors in Cambridge said ‘yes’ to Mark Zuckerberg we’d be living in a very different world.)

Today with the cloud you feel the taxi meter running all the time and now that Facebook and Google have figured the money out and how you to make you pay for exposure it feels like the walls have closed in.

So we are basically fucked?
PaulHoule•47m ago
Well I dunno if we want to repeat the Web 2.0 playbook, I mean it seemed like a good idea at the time but now we have political Twitter, all the blonde women who DM me on Instagram, etc.

Recently though I've discovered a kind of hybrid real-world/social-media marketing that puts a zero on the right of all my KPIs -- I am not sure if it would work so well if I wasn't based on a college campus, but even on days when I spend only 20 minutes in public as a "foxographer"

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/115901190470904729

I might get approached by several people and hand them those "tokens" which get them to subscribe to my socials and tell other people which gets more people to approach me -- it's the kind of "Flywheel" that Jim Collins talks about. Of course it "doesn't scale", and how I introduce the character to the wider community and the tourists that are all of my town in tyhe summer is TBD.

Anthropic is 5 years old, and was already widely use when it was 2years old. These companies get big faster, but still are pretty young ones

Youtube and Facebook are from social media era, before them Netscape and Google were a thing. There are just waves of digital mass consumption products and its not the social media era anymore. The adoption curve however feels the same for them all

hotOrNot•1h ago
I do agree, but I also wanna point out that back then you did not have to be a phd or a researcher to do something. You could do something in a weekend (something that people want) and then hope that you can INSANELY viral. Nowadays the small actors have it somehow worse in that respect, I feel like.
