- Andrew Feldman, founder of typesafeai, argued on a Vercel panel about fast AI that today's AI is the slowest version you'll ever use — in 5 years it will look like dial-up, and in 10 years like black-and-white TV.
- His core point: demand for compute has no ceiling. In the 1950s experts guessed a handful of computers could serve a whole country, yet for 70 years builders have consumed every bit of added compute.
- Future speed gains will go to bigger problems, such as websites that rebuild their UI for each visitor on arrival, and apps you can build as fast as you can describe them.
