When I was in graduate school, I thought 3D printing was dumb. Then I spent ten years building a 3D company.
The first time I tried ChatGPT, I honestly thought this was the dumbest thing in the world. Why are so many people talking about this? Now, I’m using LLMs for almost everything I work on.
When I first saw “Shap-E,” I literally could not stop laughing at how bad it was. Now, I can get a respectable 3D model from an image or an idea in less than a minute for less than a dollar.
Strong emotional reactions are a signal. Pay attention to them. Today’s joke might be the next trillion-dollar industry.
