Episode notes

I think we're at the bottom of some sort of an S curve for this technology, where you're going to have a rapid amount of innovation in a short space of time. And then it's going to Peter Wolf and, and, and so slow down. Whether that happens in one year, two years, five years, 10 years, I don't know. The market approach is that the cream will rise to the top. Now, when that happens, I think we'll have a Mozilla-esque world with Firefox Chrome now in a chromium world. Even Microsoft Edge is using Chrome, chromium. So it's open source underneath it, but they've got their own flavor.
