It feels like a tsunami is coming and we have no idea how big it will be.

Like the self driving revolution? Or the bitcoin/blockchain revolution?

Personally, I’m not even getting out my popcorn yet.

Bitcoin / Blockchain doesn't have any intrinsic value other than to those who believe in it. Self driving cars (Level 4-5) are not available to the public and is still in development. This stuff is real, produces some incredible results, available to the public and advancing at a rapid rate.

[CuriouslyC]

Real people are creating real things with this tech right now. Beyond that, people are enthusiastically building on this technology to create higher level tools. This will only be able to go so far with the stable diffusion model, but the ceiling is still very high with what we already have, and given the pace of model progress we can realistically expect the next 10 years or so to be absolutely transformative for art, and probably after that writing and music.

Fair position given the failure of crypto to live up to the revolutionary hype.

This is clearly different. The value has been demonstrated - and it has clear implications for a lot of jobs.

[simonw]

Very different. This stuff is genuinely useful already, and is getting more effective every day.

Self driving cars are on the road. Any two people on Earth are able to trustlessly transmit value between them using Bitcoin. You seem cynical.
