Raw LLM Responses

Big time. The first Dot Com Boom brought me to San Francisco in 99. Not for development, but parties. I worked in entertainment and event production. The sheer amount of start-up parties, product launch parties, after parties, conferences & tech events keep us insanely busy. Everyone was flush. Until it turned into the Dot Com Bust any idea was being considered as a viable possibility for monetization. A lot of those ideas were shelved because even though the internet was awesome, the handheld phone interface was still buttons and tiny screens. The whole industry busted but the iPhone brought it all back so a lot of the ideas had some resurgence (food delivery, Uber etc). It may go the same with AI. Where there is a bust but a single tech innovation allows it to be (RE)applied with more success. The large companies we have today were the small companies that survived the first bust. Thousands of companies did not.
