Internet was too big to fail in 2000, and in the long run was a net positive for the economy. Yet, a lot of internet companies still have not recovered the bubble bursting


The internet caused social media, which caused the attention economy and trumpism, and will be the bane of the next generations.

It's too soon to tell regarding "net positive for the economy".


Just because one bubble also brought better infrastructure for everybody, doesn't mean that every bubble has a silver lining.

I wish AI wasn't so easily compared with the Internet just because they have exuberant investors in common.
