I think one issue is time.

We're a few years in. It takes time to figure things out and see returns.

The web and dot com boom and bust still led to several trillion dollar companies, eventually.

AI will transform my industry, but not overnight. My employer is within that 95%... but won't be forever.

If AI improved as quickly as hardware used to do then most of these efforts would succeed, since what would have been on the horizon of plausibility one year would be very easy to do a year or two later.

But that improvement didn't come, the technology plateaued so most of these efforts failed.

Mobile phones was what changed society, not the web or the dot com era.

[Jensson]

Almost everyone had a computer in their home before we had smartphones, those computers did shape society in a massive way. You didn't see them on the streets like you do phones but the effects were still just as massive.
