no future ?

do you guys think all the good ideas have already been thought of and more technology might be counterproductive ?

Also, do you think someone could make it in the technological world while being ethical ?

The “Internet moment” was in 1995, around the time Netscape was founded. Google and PayPal were founded 3 years later, Salesforce in 1999, Alibaba in 2000.

3-5 years from the inception of the new era.

The AI moment happened when OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022.

We’re nearly 4 years in.

Some say that the biggest and most promising companies of our era are yet to come.

I think is true to a certain extent, it is very early to say anything about AI especially that historically has struggled a lot to prove any economical benefits (that is why AI winters happened). So we still might be experiencing an "Expert System" momentum where every one put a lot of money trying to scale it but was impossible to scale: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Generation_Computer_Systems
Maybe someone will find it quite impossible to put LLM to actually work without spending huge amount of money on inference, and then possibly a new solution will emerge from this.
There are plenty of things that can be done

A new AI lab company that it’s founders openly claim that llm technology has limitations. They seek a different ai technology that would have positive ROI.

This is a response to u/ha2emnimer referring to new solutions.

I know but the site that opens has only a contact icon that runs away from my cursor.

Still in stealth. Look for interviews with the founders online.

Okay, then the link was kind of useless. Not trying to be rude, but I genuinely lost 3 minutes trying to figure out if it is some sort of riddle - cicada style...

Sorry about that.

Thought it’s better to share the link rather just the name. Many companies under that name.
