Marc Andreessen once said that every failed idea from the Dotcom bubble would work now. It just took time.

  • It’s taken more than 20 years for 20% of U.S. retail to move online.
  • But fortune favoured the brave, the early movers.
 
For the internet to work, several things had to happen:
 
  1. Consumers had to buy PCs.
  1. Broadband had to be rolled out.
  1. Retailers needed to develop their e-commerce infrastructure.
  1. Most importantly, consumers and businesses had to change their behaviour.
 
I imagine we’ll look back on generative AI with a similar lens. The future can just take a while.
