In the early days of the internet we were in a similar situation.
Modems, early Linux systems, the first websites.
Technically primitive by today’s standards, but something important had appeared: information could suddenly move freely across a network. That was a novum by this time and not many understood it yet.
At the time the real question was not about the technology itself.
The question was much simpler.
What can we actually build with this network??
Today we seem to be entering a similar phase again.
Large language models and related systems allow machines to interact with knowledge: documents, code, conversations, procedures. The tools are still very rough. Many experiments will disappear. Much of what we see today will not survive.
But that is exactly what makes this moment interesting.
The real challenge ahead is not the models themselves.
It is the integration of knowledge and machines into real systems and organisations.
In that sense, this feels less like a finished technology wave and more like the early internet again.
A lot of experimentation. A lot of curiosity. And many things we have not imagined yet. And a lot of fun 😄
