Technically all the problems that almost any given business needs to be solved today has already been solved umpteen times over the years. There are no new problems that can't be solved by porting and/or combining old solutions.

"Everything has already been invented." - Some 19th-century scientist who had no imagination to see the wave of technological innovation that was coming.

Iterations and remixes. That's what innovation is. That there's sometimes a huge jump doesn't change the nature of it.

That's the literal definition of stagnation. That is not compatible with growth.

Also that's not a new idea, that "everything worth inventing/exploring has already been". It's precisely what AI reinforces, and that goes against human nature (and capitalism) as that statement has historically proved.

Oh no, there will always be things that're still worth inventing/exploring. They're just very few, and a tiny subset of that few will be applicable to today's businesses.
